As Ron White said, "I had the right to remain silent, but I lacked the ability"

Around 13 years ago I was on my way to ball state university to party with my then gf and her housemates... I was pulled over by the Indiana State Police on I 69. I was as sober as physically possible. I had a water bottle filled with apple juice that was around half full in my cup holder. I was asked to exit my vehicle and perform some field sobriety tests. I asked why... His exact words were "Well you maintained your lane control but you were kind of swerving back and forth inside of your lane" Without missing a beat I replied "So what your telling me is... I didn't do anything wrong..." He said "Well Smartass.. we're here now.. get out of your vehicle.." I exited my vehicle and asked for a supervisor... For some reason this really seemed to piss him off... He asked me why I wanted his supervisor... I told him I'd gladly explain it when his supervisor arrived... He told me to get back in my car and get the fuck off his interstate.. 😅... I apologized for not knowing he owned I69 and left thinking it was over and done with... When I exited the interstate some 7 miles later I was pulled over by 3 state police officers.. Asked to perform several impairment tests to which I did and then basically kidnapped and taken to the hospital for a blood draw that came up negative for anything... Had I known better I'd of sued.

It's more than that. They have a time frame they are required to abide by to complete their investigation of you. This is why cops can't keep you detained for hours on the side of the road while they look for other things to charge you with or make you wait for the police dog. Legally, when they stop you, they are required to start their investigation of you and the law ule\code you may have violated. Once they finish that initial investigation, they are legally required to cite\arrest you or just let you go. Most people will chit-chat with the cop, prolonging the stop, and sometimes giving the officer more time or information to come up with another reason to cite\arrest you. The clock starts with the initial stop, contact, and detainment.

@@eq1373 But there IS. It's the time necessary to complete the LAWFUL purpose of the stop. For a DUI checkpoint, they're allowed under Sitz v. Michigan due to the SCOTUS majority opinion excusing them as a "minimal intrusion", necessary to screen drivers for signs of impairment. The time should be as little as fifteen seconds, if there's no overt signs of impairment, to wave the driver on through. Of course, a cop will, if he wants more time on a particular person, simply say things like "I smelled alcohol on his breath" (or the car smelled of 'weed'), or "his speech was slurred", "his eyes red" or "pupils dilated". This is where having a dash cam and using the cell phone to record, Record, RECORD the encounter can refute the cop's assertion(s) if he's wrong and/or LYING. Most jurisdictions consider fifteen minutes to be a "reasonable" time to hold a motorist for purposes of writing up a moving violation(s). Beyond that, there must exist "reasonable, articulable" suspicion that criminal activity is "afoot", mere "hunches" or "profiling" most certainly doesn't qualify, in order to hold the detainee any longer, to get the "drug dog" or otherwise investigate and/or get a search warrant for the vehicle. This is WHY you say as little as possible, but simply "Am I FREE to go?", and "I don't consent to any searches". Repeating those phrases won't necessarily get the cops to let you go, nor stop them from searching ANYWAY, warrant or not, or whether they get the four-legged "probable cause on a leash" to do the CUED "alert song-and-dance", but it will do a LOT to enable your attorney, should the matter come to that, to show that you did not consent to prolong the detainment nor to any searches or seizures. Typically, 45 minutes to an hour is considered the maximum that one can be detained in order to secure a search warrant or to wait for the K-9, beyond that, as it's ALREADY a de facto ARREST, it becomes questionable as to its legality.

*8:00** FWIW, the motorcyclist is a known 1A Auditor. At this point he is auditing, that is why he extended the stop.*

Very good of the motorcyclist to clarify that “Do you have ID?” was meant as an order to provide ID. I’ve seen a video of a someone being arrested for refusing to ID when the officers never actually requested that the person provide it; the officers actually asked “do you have ID on you?” To which the person responded “I don’t answer questions”. The officers literally never once asked, much less ordered, that the person provide the ID to them. Just saying that the fact motorcyclist caught the distinction is a great sign.

Answering that "question" by asking for clarification if they're ordering you, specifically, to hand over the ID could go a long way in diffusing the situation too. At least they can't argue as easily that you refused their orders, especially if you've recorded the entire interaction. As you should.

Law enforcement should be required to hand you their card anytime they interact with you. Before they get your id, they should have to provide their own.

Here in AZ there's another caveat. If an officer asks if you have a firearm in the vehicle, you are required to answer in the affirmative if you do.

If you do and they ask for it, you're required to hand it over for the duration of the encounter, at which point they're required to return it to you if they're not arresting you for something.

dumb idiots only make themselves into stressfull situations

I fully understand the frustration these people are in, just trying to do their job, the slightly cracked window already being a sign of "I don't trust you", but while the guy was not complying from the get-go (not that I'm stating he had to), he was NOT being aggressive. The other person, however, absolutely was. And as someone in a position of authority, that is virtually NEVER acceptable. Especially considering the officer risked damage to the car by slamming his door. How would the officer, or other officers, react if a civilain had slammed their door? Why is it okay for an officer to slam yours, and if you react with aggressiveness or hostility, you get the book thrown at you. But if the roles are reversed, the civilian has to just take it? That's an abuse of power.

How do you record the police with your phone without being cited for using it while driving?

I always love when one of your videos pops up in my homepage. Thanks again for important and citizen-saving advice and critiques!

Leaving your window up prevents them from saying the "smell of marijuana is coming from your vehicle."

The Mimms case relates to a Lawful Traffic Stop (for an Expired Plates violation). Are these kind of Roadside Checkpoints considered Lawful Traffic Stops (without an observed Traffic Violation)? I would argue no and that they could not Lawfully Order you out of the vehicle. Your thoughts?

Do you have to produce a license when it is not a stop and identify state?

In the first video, I know lawyers often say in court something's seem obvious and redundant but its important to preserve for the record. Wouldn't it be the same on the road. Also I once seen a use of force case. I believe the end result was basically the cop was within his right to ask the driver out of the car. However when the driver would not get out of the car but was not aggressive or appear to be of any threat the officer was not in his right to escalate to force to remove him from the car. I'm sure this would be very jurisdiction specific but I found it interesting.

First guy should have had his door locked. One good reason to keep your window rolled up as much as possible (and never roll down more than one) is to undermine a case if a cop claims (falsely) to smell marijuana.

the alleged detection of Marijuana odor is not lawful cause

I've been told by an attorney that Pennsylvania VS Mems has 2 qualifying conditions that have to be met before the police can order you to get out of the vehicle. Condition one is that it must be a lawful traffic stop. Condition two is that the police officer must have reasonable suspicion that you constitute a reasonable threat to them. Your response would be appreciated.

ill give the last cop credit too, he respected the guys rights at least

Thank You for your very helpful videos. You are helping more people in more ways than you likely realize.

Excellent! You should do more of these types of videos Andrew. Thank you!

Andrew helped me in Spotsylvania VA to get out of a traffic charge. Andrew is amazing! So professional and so effective! I hope I don’t have need of using him again but if I ever have the need Andrew F. Is who I’m going to here in our area! Love him! Highly recommend!

I'd seen that motorcycle video before and he was not so much trying to "not talk" to them as test their actions, which is why he wanted an incident number and information after. I think the 1st video should have done that as that officer who opened his door and started screaming was WAY out of line and should be disciplined for his unprofessional actions. Great stuff/info Andrew! I hope I never NEED it. LOL

After watching a few of your videos, I researched buying a dash cam. Now ordered. Will feel better with it in place.

How can they ask for ID if there is no infraction?

I would respond with: "I do not answer questions." If he said he would place me under arrest, I would respond with: "I do not answer questions. I want to speak with my lawyer." Record everything.

The motorcycle guy handled it well. (Except the end of course) People misunderstand the idea of the 5th. You dont have to invoke it for it to take effect, you're invoking it by NOT incriminating yourself by answering questions. You can still talk to them, and be polite saying "is it OK if I reach into my pocket", "are you ordering me to [lower my window]" "good evening" etc Of course if you've had anything to drink or even if you havent, they can claim your speech was slurred etc. But then again, they can claim you smelled like marijuana or other even if you did absolutely nothing and was quiet

Thanks for the compare/contrast and critique here. It's really good to see examples of mistakes you can make while attempting to exercise your rights, as well as how to handle it perfectly. Funnily enough, the true path is a kind of Zen, where you accomplish everything by doing nothing.

Keep a mind like water to get through a police road block.

The fact that the supreme court doesn't understand that these "no-probable-cause-having check points" are unconstitutional let's me know clearly that they can't be relied upon for protecting people's rights against unconstitutional legislation. Also, I still don't see how people don't realize that Pennsylvania v mimms was a unconstitutional ruling. Just because the order was a "minimal intrusion" doesn't escape the fact that it is used to circumvent 4th amendment protections. How is it any different than, if instead of illegally searching your pockets, he orders you to turn your pockets inside out for officer safety? I wouldn't be surprised if this hypothetical senario gets tested in court and the upper courts affirm that "officer safety" is more important than the rights of the people.

The supreme court is part of the incorporated U.S. which as a contract entity is not beholden to following the constitution. Hence why they license people for things the constitution says are a right. Anything in the federal U.S. jurisdiction is statute law. If you subject yourself to their rules, you gotta play by them. Smarter to be a State National or USA Citizen. Then you can exercise your rights. Well, provided you don't face an ignorant or corrupt official. But there are ways to deal with them.

I understand and agree with the idea that it’s best to comply with an officers request to roll down the car window (unnecessary power plays against the police often end badly for the citizen), but what I’m wondering is, by doing that aren’t you giving the officer the opportunity to say he/she smells an odor of alcohol or marijuana coming from inside the vehicle? I think maybe that’s why some people say it’s best to keep the window only minimally cracked.

@harveywallbanger1738

7 ай бұрын

Other people claim that if you only open your window a crack, then any odors will be concentrated to the officers nose. In the very rare times I've encountered a DUI checkpoint, I just stop, roll down my window, and set there and read my book while officers talk at me. Usually, one of the officers end up telling me to proceed. I think it helps that I'm old and don't care.

I've always been curious about the legality of cops telling you to tilt your head back to look up your nose. Some people crush & snort pills (& other drugs) & cops used to harass me & my friends all the time & sometimes asked us to look up our noses for residue of drugs is what I assume. But I always wondered if we were legally required to do that. & we were just walking in most cases; not driving.

They have no legal right to do that unless they can provide reasonable suspicion or probable cause, but if you refuse, it may escalate the encounter. That's a tough one. I personally think that those cops need a lesson on the constitution, but the question for you is whether it is worth it, given that it could be a nasty fight, with you even being arrested. If they violate your rights, do you have the resources to hire the quality lawyer it takes to fight them in court? Are you willing to go to the trouble to assert your rights in this matter, not knowing how far they may carry it? It's a tough decision.

Why is he saying that you should comply with rolling down the window more? This attorney has great advice (as many others) on dealing with dui checkpoints, but he lost me with that one. Seems counterproductive to roll your window down more as obviously the cop can claim they smelled “the odor of an alcoholic beverage”. (All cops use the same phrases)

Question re the motorcycle dude. If you’re asked to raise your visor and do but keep your eyes closed while the visor is open, is that still deemed compliance?

If there was no infraction to be pulled over, why do I need to provide ID ??

Thank you for this video. I saw that first one before and I get annoyed when the person tried to "get" the police by asking teh same question over and over again.

Great tips, as always!

Quick question. Can officers stop every car at a checkpoint in Va. ? If they can’t, like every law office website says they are “prohibited”. Where is that written.

In Kentucky they need 4 things. A written plan for the event , signage with a designated pull off lane clearly marked, a supervisor on scene, and an announcement to the public.

I've never seen a DUI checkpoint in real life before, but it's got to be unconstitutional to just detain and question people completely at random without any sort of probable cause, warrant or consent.

@brucesmith9144

2 жыл бұрын

It has been ruled constitutional if they stop all drivers and also that they publicly announce where DUI checkpoints are held. The local news outlets in my area would run an article stating when and where police would hold a DUI checkpoint. That was public notification. Most of the time these stops net them citations for expired registration, license, inspection or insurance violations.

​@@toledojeeper2932we're saying it's bad law because the 4th amendment is written in clear English and we know how to read.

Madison to basically give themselves the ability to override the legislature.. you know, the elected representative lawmakers of the people.

Loved it. My wife is always asking how to safely and peacefully ignore/dismiss police. However passively standing by tends to be the issue for lack of legal regulation that protects our CONSTITUTIONAL right. E.g right to security of documents and freedom of speech and the grand 5th. If we just quietly ignore these unconstitutional acts. How do we expect to fight them in court. Can one sue the police for unconstitutional acts if one fully comply with the unconstitutional act?

Yes. It is understood that you are being compelled under the threat of force. Ideally you would have them state that you could/will be arrested if "blank".

When ordering you to get out leave your car in gear and let it roll off they've ordered you to exit your car not to secure it. They need to be specific with their lawful orders.

Driver2 motorcycle: Explain why driver has to show license when stopped withoyt any infraction having taken place.

Rolling the window down allows the cop to abuse the go-to lie of "I smell alcohol." It's true, they could pull him out, but it's much easier for a cop to just lie in the first place. If prefer not to make it easy for him.
