Speaking from the UK perspective it's the same. They want results, ie they look for easy arrests/charges for often petty things. The last thing they want is to takle serious criminals. They have also become politicised, policing people's opinions. One poor woman recently got arrested for silently praying a couple of hundred yards away from an abortion clinic (which wasn't even open for "business".). No normal person wants to be a police officer so the recruits are often the last people who should be a police officer. That results in them preying upon members of the general public to get their "numbers up". And that's why they have lost respect, trust and caused us to be unwilling to interact with them.

She is right. Don’t just assert your right to remain silent. Make sure to say “I want to talk to a lawyer.” That triggers more rights, forcing the cops to cease all questioning.

In theory but in many cases they ignore you and or won't allow you to speak to a attorney! An example is getting pulled over for assuming the driver is under the influence. In many states you'll get arrested, possibly car searched, and then forced to give a breathalyzer. You can refuse BUT you'll lose your license for a min a year, be fined, and stay in county jail. If you're a typical citizen there's no option as you can't lose a license and or afford the fine. On the flip side if you take the test, you may be charged with a DUI but often you can get it dropped if you don't have a history, take classes, and only lose your license a few months or less. You need to pay something but it's way less. I'm not sure about all states, but many allow police to keep you from a attorney until after you decide. This is one example.

"Turn over at the top is what's needed, in the court system too!" - you have to know about conceptual power. "Conceptual power is the power of ideas that have dominated human society for thousands of years and the power of people who are able to generate such ideas. It is the highest intra-social type of power out of 5 existing ones: conceptual, ideological, legislative, executive, judicial. Conceptual power: - recognizes factors affecting society - introduces them into his system of stereotypes - forms vectors of goals in relation to each society - forms management concepts for achieving development goals It is autocratic by nature and ignores the "democratic" procedures of society, which do not see and do not want to recognize its autocracy." It means no turn over at the top (legislative, executive, judicial) helps. You have to target the eye (conceptual power) above the pyramid on a one US dollar banknote.

I have a standard procedure I use anytime I'm approached by a cop now. As soon as they say a word, I immediately ask if I'm being detained. If the answer is no then I immediately attempt to leave. If the answer is yes, if they refuse to answer, or if they stop me when I attempt to leave after being told I'm not being detained; then I say "I'm not interested in having a conversation. I am invoking my right to remain silent and will not be answering any questions without an attorney present". And no other words come out of my mouth, period. If they continue to press things and demand my ID and insist that I have to answer their questions or whatever then I turn around and present my hands behind my back. Anything you say outside of that can only hurt you. Every single question a cop asks you has the solitary purpose of establishing probable cause to arrest you.

Sure you do, tough guy...another keyboard warrior. I bet you're puckering the whole time. Sounds like you have a lot to hide.

What's truly sickening that you actually have protect yourself even from police. The way that some of them act, it's clear that they are no better than criminals.

Thank you for this! 1) Police officers are allowed to lie 2) Unless you have been arrested or detained, you are free to leave 3) The police need probable cause to arrest you 4) You have the right to remain silent, so, by all means, do - until your lawyer gets there.

An important thing that most people don't know is that the police DO NOT have to mirandize you unless you are both [1] in custody, and [2] being interrogated. On TV and in the movies, the police read you your rights the second they start to arrest you. That's not how it goes down in real life. In real life, they *don't* mirandize you when they arrest you, unless and until they start questioning you. That way, if you spontaneously blurt out anything incriminating, they are free to use it against you because even though you were in custody, they weren't questioning you. Likewise, the police can question you all they want without reading you your rights if you're not in custody. If they come to your house...stop you on the street, whatever...they can ask you all the questions they want, and they don't have to mirandize you. So it's up to you to remember your right to remain silent. (And of course, _use it!)_ (And by the way, to be legally safe, you should explicitly invoke the 5th amendment or the Constitution. For example, "I'm invoking my 5th Amendment rights," or "I'm invoking my constitutional right to remain silent." That way, the prosecution can't use your silence against you later in court.) And even innocent people should know that it's always best not to answer questions. You have no way of knowing what kinds of info or statements that seem perfectly harmless and innocent can turn out to be incriminating later. For example, you might admit to not liking someone -- which by itself is no crime -- only to find out later that the person turned up dead. Whoops -- you just incriminated yourself (gave the police a motive) without even realizing it. So remember: the _Miranda_ rules only apply if you are in custody *and* being questioned. Unless *both* conditions are satisfied, the cops *don't* have to to read you your rights. So you need to know them beforehand.

I was stopped and told to pull over by a couple of motor cycle cops one mornings . They had a radar gun pointed down the street . The posted limit was 25 but the sign was further down the road from where I entered and slower than the side street I had entered from . ( I was new to area) The road has no parking either side , and has a double yellow down the middle . Buses and trucks use the road and it's as straight as an arrow. one other detail . The vehicle I was driving had been to the shop the day before . From a stop it would stall, sputter and shake when you gave it gas . My reaction was to give it more gas to keep the engine from quitting . The car may have accelerated for a moment over the posted limit. Here is my dumb comment to the cop . Cop;" Do you know why I stopped you ?" Me; " Is this a sobriety check point?" Cop ; " Have you been drinking?" Now we went down that route . Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. I was written a ticket for speeding and sent on my way . I thought I could win in court , The Judge said; " let me be your lawyer. " (The officer is casually sitting in the big window sill , one leg up , one leg on the floor) " Officer , how did you detect he was speeding ? " Cop; " With a model 2752 radar gun your honor." Judge shrugs and say ; Ah but was it calibrated ?" He looks at me like we got this one and shows me the thumbs up. Cop ; "It was calibrated that morning with a tuning fork your honor to a frequency that indicates 55 MPH." Judge looks at me and say ; " Pay the Speeding fine Mr Smith." The reason I was on that road was to drop off some metal at a scrap yard because I was broke. Cost me $50.00 and a day off from work . The kid before me had stolen a car , resisted arrest , was unlicensed and a seasoned criminal and was threatening everyone in authority with death. Don't know what happened to him.

Is detained the same as in custody?

@Milesco

Жыл бұрын

​@@jamest3552 That's an excellent question, James. And for _Miranda_ purposes, the answer is "no." As you know (because I said so at the top of this thread), the police must "mirandize" you (that is, read you your rights) when you are in custody and being interrogated. So then the question is, what does it mean to be "in custody"? It means having been formally arrested or "deprived of freedom to an extent associated with formal arrest." But a mere "detention" (a temporary deprivation of your freedom to leave) would not trigger a requirement to give the _Miranda_ warnings. So an ordinary traffic stop, for example, would *_not_* require the officer to read you your _Miranda_ rights. _(Berkemer v. McCarty,_ 468 U.S. 420 (1984)) The courts have refused to tell us exactly where the line is drawn, which unfortunately is something they frequently do. But that's the gist of it. So the important takeaway here is that you must know your rights, because you can't count on the police to tell you. Hope that helps.

As pointed out, it’s always best to verbally invoke your 5A right from the outset, state you refuse to waive your right to not answer questions without a lawyer present, and that you are invoking and refusing to waive all your other rights as well. Don’t remain silent. Just don’t answer questions or make statements. ASK questions, like: 1. After verbally invoking your rights, ask them to articulate their name and badge number. If they refuse, mumble, give you one, point at their tit, or otherwise reply with anything other than their name and badge number point out that they have refused to give you their name and badge number as they are required to do, demand a supervisor on scene because you have a suspicion this person isn’t a police officer. A police officer would follow the required identification policy. Point out again that they have been given an opportunity articulate their name and badge number and are continuing to refuse. Even though you have zero intention of having a conversation, answer any question with “I’m not going to have a conversation with you because you’ve refused to verbally identify yourself by name and badge number…” Move to #2. 2. This is not a consensual contact, am I being detained? (If they say no or refuse to answer, walk away and say “this is not a consensual contact, I’m breaking contact and walking away unless you tell me I am detained”. If they tell you to “stay put”, “hold up”, “hang tight”, “sit down”, or any other way they want to detain you without verbalizing it so they can later claim you weren’t…”I’m not following any requests or unlawful orders if I’m not detained. This is not a consensual contact, I’m breaking contact and walking away unless you tell me I’m detained…” 2. If they tell you you’re detained, STOP, and ask “since you’ve told me I am being detained and not free to leave, articulate the facts which you believe would give a person a reasonable suspicion that a crime has taken place, is taking place or is about to take place, as you are required to do…” Let them talk here. Do not interrupt them as they either fail to provide the RAS they are required to in order to make it a legal detention or they create a record and establish the grounds for the stop which they are now locking themselves into for your lawyer to use against them in court, and which they cannot make up after the fact without contradicting the RS they articulated at the time of the stop. The information the police volunteer are powerful weapons in your defence. Do not answer questions, do not volunteer information to be used against you. They have to, especially when you ask them questions they are obligated to respond to or they’ll be in violation of a procedure or policy. You don’t have to. So don’t. Aside from conveying the general information as clearly and quickly as you can-you invoke/do not waive you 4A, 5A rights and every other right, that it’s not a consensual stop and you are breaking contact unless they articulate you are detained, that you have demanded a supervisor and their name & badge number, and that you will not resist any arrest-lawful or unlawful. Give them nothing. Give them nothing but rope.

While the emergency services were racing to the scene along with a medial helicopter….I’m bleeding to death, femoral artery torn and my leg from hip down crushed, and more ….getting to the point ….a cop pulls up, walks into the field where I’m about to die says. “You were speeding weren’t you?” “Tell me you were speeding.” Now people I’m out of my mind in pain at this point, however because of my background around authority figures… I told the cop, I’m on the phone with my wife saying goodbyes. I’m all geared up fortunately full face helmet, riding boots, totally the best of the best which was always the way I suited up… the cop still insistent asking… knew I wasn’t going to converse with him. Did say , No I wasn’t, once. He takes my phone, and tells my wife “if you want to see him you & family better get to whatever hospital he’s airlifted to if you want to say goodbye.” If I wasn’t in so much pain while lasting for months, after multiple surgeries, years of physical and physiotherapy. Never mind. My goal was to be in the saddle again, and I did until 2018, hit hard and still remained quiet on the street until emergency vehicle showed up. Wife went down hard in 2010, she elected to get hospital and not call the cops. We’ve had retiree cops tell us don’t talk cops.

They can lie about more than that. I was a victim of an assault that could never be proven. After a long consideration, I decided there should be a record somewhere. I didn't want to attempt to press charges, but I did want something on file, in case something worse should happen. They said they would take such a report and only keep it on file, and not follow up with the perp. There was absolutely no way anything could be proven, follow up would only put me at greater risk, and impede the steps that were already in motion, for me to get away. I explained all of this first, my report was conditional on their assurance. 2 minutes after the report was complete, they were on their way to question the person. All it did was make matters really bad, and slow down and make much more difficult, my extraction from the situation. Sadly, they will lie even if you are a completely innocent person, not even suspected of a crime.

If you answer 50 questions, you'll eventually contradict yourself and be accused of lying. Just like lawyers, cops seldom ask a question without first knowing the answer.

"Officer, I'm not going to answer any questions." "Why not?" "Officer, that's a question."

I was on a cross-country trip to California, and got a late start. I tried to make it up in the rural areas but while passing a line of cars heading east, one of them flipped a u-turn, and I knew I was toast. 80 in a 60. Before he had completely turned around, I pulled over and waited. When he pulled in behind me and came up to talk, he commented I was the first time in his 20 year career that anyone had pulled themselves over. I just confessed that he had me dead to rights, and why fight it or make him chase me down? I explained that I had just left for CA to see my daughter for the first time in 3 years (just post-pandemic) and was half a day late getting on the road, so I was a bit over-exuberant in my goal to make up time. He headed back to his patrol car, ran my license, found a clean record, and let me go, mostly due to my honesty and the fact I didn't argue or challenge his authority. He just told me that being late doesn't break any laws, so slow it down. I agreed and was free to go. Oftentimes, if you've got an otherwise clean record, you can just relate to cops like human beings, relaxed and cordial, they'll do the same for you and give you a break. It's worked for me more than the one time.

yeah, I don't see the point in treating cops like less than people. If it becomes suspiciously clear they are questioning you as a suspect to a crime, that's different. But sometimes they just want/need info to solve a crime and you might be able to help. I had a similar experience as you, I came to a stop sign and did the rolling stop, right turn where you don't actually come to a stop when you see it's clear. I instantly saw the rollers in my rearview mirror and knew I was toast. By the time he approached my window, I had my license and registration with both hands visibly on the wheel, window down, and I said, "Officer I know exactly what I did wrong!" He replied, "Well good, in that case, I don't have to berate you over it." He ran my info, returned and let me off with a warning. Sometimes simple politeness, humility and courtesy can go a long way. In that case, it got me out of a good $200+ fine.

Traffic tickets are different from the usual crimes & felonies. If a cop catches you speeding, he doesn't HAVE to give you a ticket -- unless it's a speed trap. His goal is to reduce drivers speeding: sometimes a cop will simply sit in plain view alongside the highway, thus slowing the traffic down. On the other hand, if a cop is looking for a burglar or murderer, he's going to arrest the first unlucky stiff he believes did the crime. He wants to finish the job quickly so he can leave work on time & go home; cops who are willing to actually sort thru all of the suspects & end up arresting some guy who looked like an innocent bystander only exist on tv & in the movies. As one by who was arrested & convicted of a felony on a BS charge, unless you call the police or know why they are there, always be on your guard & say as little as possible. And if you are worried about an officer's questions, invoke the Fifth & demand a lawyer.

Cops are typically everyday people just like the rest of us. Be cordial. I like what she is saying in this video, as it applies to certain situations. But to use the advice in every LEO encounter is plaid dumb. The police (bad apples the exception) are not out there trying to ruin people's lives. Several friends and fellow church members are LEOs and are some of the kindest people I know. My 2¢. God bless Edit. But, in the circumstance that you are being detained/arrested: state you are invoking your 5th Ammendment right, or that you are choosing to remain silent. Do not just say nothing, that can be used as evidence against you.

Had a school cop when I was in the 4th grade try to get me to admit to something I didn't do. I could have been arrested for vandalism and arson. Luckly I never missed an episode of NYPD blue and at 9 years old, I lawyered up. He questioned me by myself and tried to put the frighteners on me. He didn't know I was raised by an ego-maniac cop so his tricks didn't work.

Supply ID only if legally required (Check your state laws for this one) to do so and then remember the following 2 steps: "I don't answer questions. I wish to envoke my 5A right." You have to actually specify WHY you won't answer questions. This bit is important in case it comes up in court later. "Am I being detained?" Follow up with "Am I free to leave?" If they dance around the topic, repeat the following 3 steps until they let you go. Never just walk away. And ALWAYS record it on video. Audio at the absolute least. Again, in a court room, cops are more likely to be trusted if it's just your word vs theirs.

I have an ongoing case right now where when the Sheriff came to my door to question me. He asked me if I knew why he was there. I didn't know and told him so. Then he told me what had been said and he wanted a statement from me. I said I do not talk to Law Enforcement Officers without my Attorney present. He then said if I did not talk to him, he would arrest me right now. I still refused to talk to him and was arrested and taken to the jail, where I was charged with a misdemeanor. The Prosecutor told me if I would plead guilty to a minor misdemeanor, he would give me no jail time and just a fine of $500.00 in the plea bargain. I refused to plead to something I was not guilty of, so he raised my charge to a Maximum Felony that can get me life in prison if I lose, all because I would not play ball with him. I know that 98% of all charged crimes result in plea bargains, but I wasn't guilty. So now it has been a year and they have postponed the trial 4 times. In the meantime, I am under restrictions that had nothing to do with the crime they charged me with. I think they keep putting it off because they know they can't win, as there is not a shred of evidence, just a she said, he said. I'm wondering if I win, can I then sue the cop for violating my rights to not talk to him?

Nah man, you got a warrant? and talk about what? Why you covering my peep hole view? One guy said-Come on, be easy, make this easy for you, We just want to talk and look around. For what?

I agave them basic details including that my other son was asleep inside and when they came in, one officer said "there IS another child." It really stood out to me the way he said it like he was shocked. Just reinforcing the idea that everything you say is suspect. Meaning, you can explain down the last detail a situation but in their heads they're immediately throwing out every word youre saying. Even after its been validated, they're still gonna think every next word you say is a lie. If you're innocent, and likely even if youre guilty, you might as well invoke your rights regardless. ANHTHING you say can, AND WILL, be used against you.

Let's go back to number one. The police can lie whenever they want. This has been upheld by the courts. Number two, you ask if you are under arrest or detained. If the police say yes, how do you know they aren't lying? If you ask them if they have probable cause and they say yes, how do you know they are not lying? Asking if you are "free to leave". If they refuse to answer, what do you do? I have seen videos when someone asks if they are free to leave and the police will not answer this question.

It's ironic how the people who say "I know my rights" don't follow ANY of this advice. On the other hand, people who do exercise their rights, such as asking if they're being detained, a reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime, etc. Are now mocked and dismissed as "Sovereign Citizens".

I saw a video once of some cop harassing and falsely interpreting the law to a group of skateboarders, only to be schooled by one of those kids on what the laws were and how they work. The cop was like, "What? Are you some kind of KZread lawyer?" And the kid replied, "I thought it was my responsibility to know the law?" That totally shut the cop up.

There are cases in which innocent people answered the best they could to an investigation and ended up guilty of a crime (it might have been a misdemeanor, I don't remember). I try to keep that in mind where there's police around and try to never answer any of their question, no matter how benign they might be (I can forget).

The attorney is correct. The key is to be respectful about it. In fact, pray that the cops detain you without reasonable suspicion or arrest you without probable cause. Cooperate. Go along. Then bring a lawsuit and become rich and famous.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if an arrestee while being searched, was silent when the cop asks "do you have anything that can stick, poke, or cut me in your pockets"? Without exception, every video I've seen, the question was answered by the person being searched.

Well done! Short, factual, and to the point.

One of the decent honest cops I know explained to me that people don’t get arrested for not making statements that might incriminate themselves, they get arrested for not cooperating with the detention. 5th Amendment pertains to answering questions about whatever is the reason for the detention (“testimony”). But your name, birthdate & address etc is not testimony & the law requires you to provide it and truthfully when arrested or detained. Staying TOTALLY silent can get a charge for Obstructing, not arrested for exercising your 5th. Important distinction.

Served 25 years as a police officer, Sergeant of Police Operations, Detective Sergeant and District Court Prosecutor. Investigators may tell an untruth to provide closure and justice to a case. However, investigators will not lie about DNA, way too easy to prove wrong. Number two, you are totally correct on the detention explanation. Unless, detained by Federal Case law Terry V. Ohio. Nope, wrong again on number 3. The police officer will establish articular suspicion and based on the totality of the circumstances will afford probable cause. Probable cause is defined as : If a reasonable person given the facts or circumstances of the issue or event, may think that a crime has been committed or a crime is about to be committed. Yup, number four, kinda, close. The police officer can ask you a myriad of questions. If the police officer doesn't ask you any question or questions about the charges you have been arrested for or charged with, the officer doesn't have to advise you of your Miranda Rights. Name, DOB and address are excluded.

WRONGGGGGGGGGG ,, NEVER ASK IF YOU ARE DETAINED (DONT GIVE THEM A STICK TO HIT YOU WITH) SO LONG AS THEY DIDN'T SAY YOU ARE DETAINED YOU CAN WALK LEGALLY AWAY EVEN RUN AWAY IS LEGAL , IF YOU ASK IF YOU DETAINED THEY WILL SAY YES AND YOU CHANCE TO LEAVE IS GONE

Wish everything was so easy when I was grabbed up off the street in August 2017 just because I had red hair! They tried to say I committed a crime & since not many guys have long red colored hair, they grabbed me & tried to say it was me! I proved it wasn’t & even found the guy on Facebook & told them. I’m still pissed off about what I went through being accused of something so heinous & they didn’t even bother to look at point by point facial recognition software to find their suspect. I almost got charged for some meth addicts crime just because I had red hair! How lame is that?!

I have a few years of L.E. and can say - this lady is smart. It is much easier to talk yourself IN TO being arrested than to talk yourself OUT OF being arrested. I will point out there ARE exceptions when it actually IS beneficial to speak AND YES you can be arrested if you don't. One example would be FL's statute on "L&P" (loitering and prowling). Being in a place that is not normally frequented at the time youre there can be "reasonable suspicion" for a detainment. HOWEVER, you must end the detainment as soon as the person provides a lawful reason for their presence. So.... there are times when answering a simple question WILL keep you out of jail.

Except that so often answering that is subject to whatever the LEO deems acceptable. Sorry, seen too many videos of folks being arrested for sitting on a park bench in the middle of the day. Of course the charges don't stick, but ''in this day and age'', the way so many people's finances are, they can't afford to bail themselves out. So their car gets towed from the park and impounded, they miss work without being able to contact that unforgiving employer and get fired. Being fired, they have to go through the hoops to get unemployment while they look for another crap job...All because some piggy didn't like the color of their shirt or skin. Last week a young guy took his gal to her salon appointment, paid for it, and was waiting outside. He was arrested for loitering even though his gal was still inside and he had the receipt for the services. When she came out and DARED to ask WTH? her ID was DEMANDED and when she asked what for she was also immediately arrested. How about the most recent event in Loveland Colorado, 56 year old gal strolling through the Lowe's parking lot, ''walking along, singing her song'', spitting rhymes spot on to the state of government today and quite lucid. She didn't need or want any help but the cops ''helped'' her into handcuffs, drug her to the hospital for evaluation, and the cop that cuffed simply COULD NOT KEEP HIS HANDS OFF OF HER and couldn't stop talking about how much he was her friend. Enough of a friend that he punched her in the nose. Nothing good will come from saying anything more than you are legally required to. A free citizen doesn't have to prove to anyone, much less a cop, what they are doing anywhere. There is no objective basis for ANY loitering charge and prowling demands proof and minority report level precognition.

@@Ten_Mil_Will Yeah, and there are times when someone will give you something in lieu of cash for rent. They get picked up by the cops and tell them where the item is, but also sign in their sworn statements you don't have a clue it was stolen. BEFORE the search warrant is sworn out. They see two .38 rounds on the coffee table, since no one is 21, now they get to search the house for a hand gun. Of course since you are 18 and a HENRY RIFLE chambered in .38 would be perfectly legal, they search anyway. They climb up on top of a floor to ceiling shelf room divider and find a plastic toothbrush cup with 28 grams of cannabis seeds. The oh so honorable detectives, knowing without a confession the receiving won't stick, so they change the statement you make into a confession, and since reproductions at that time were mimeographed and not done with a printer or electronically, they ''lose'' the original. Now you can fight felony possession charges AND the receiving charge that they have a fake confession for, or plead no contest. If you have done nothing wrong it's the rare cop that will listen. The more likely scenario is you tell that all to the cop and that becomes the reason you were breaking into the business.

When it say 'not within 30 feet on approach to flashing lights, stop sign, or other signs at the side of the road' in Texas law 545.302. does that include the other side street? I have seen a few diagrams that show it only covers 30 feet before the stop sign(on approach) but does not include the other side of the street. I got cited for parking 30 feet within a stop sign. Am I clear to challenge this or is there some other law I can't find in Waco Texas that states you can't park within 30 feet of a stop sign on either side of the street.

In the UK I would give different advice. No 1. does not apply. The police must not lie about evidence. If they do, the case will be thrown out. 2. this applies in the UK, but they sometimes work around this as a "voluntary interview" where they assure you that you are not under arrest, but they will arrest you if you try to leave. While this is of dubious legality, the courts here don't seem to have picked up on it. 3. English Law talks about "reasonable suspicion" rather than the US "probable cause". It is very rare that the courts here decide that there were no grounds for reasonable suspicion. 4. UK suspects used to have the absolute right to "remain silent" - being not obliged to say anything. This right has been substantially watered down and now the police warn you that it could harm your defence if you fail to mention something which you later rely on in evidence. If in doubt about this, a suspect would be well-advised to say that they will cooperate and answer questions as soon as they have received legal advice from a solicitor (lawyer).

First of all, thank you for this video, which is TRUE….but be prepared! The police WILL threaten to arrest you if you refuse to ID, even if a crime has not been committed. Just know that exercising your rights alot of the times comes with the cost and that cost is you actually having to go to jail, go to court to have the charges dropped, then ultimately to file a formal complaint and eventually a civil suit. Lackluster and HonorYourOath youtube channels have amazing and informative content concerning traffic stops, illegal detainment, illegal search and seizure, etc and DEFINITELY worth checking out.

Police officers aren’t just allowed to lie, they prefer to seemingly. I’ve basically never had an interaction with an on duty police officer where they didn’t lie about something, and I’ve never even been arrested
