Search and Seizure: Crash Course Government and Politics #27

This week Craig talks about police searches and seizures. Now, the fourth amendment says that you have the right to be protected against "unreasonable searches and seizures" but what exactly does this mean? Well, it's complicated. The police often need warrants issued with proof of probable cause, but this isn't always the case - such as when you're pulled over for a moving violation. We'll finish up with the limitations of these protections and discuss one group of people in particular that aren't protected equally - students.

    There is one thing you didn't clarify in this video, if you do get pulled over for speeding, they CANT search you or your car unless they see visible evidence of a crime committed or anything illegal in your car. Just because you are pulled over for speeding isn't probable cause to search you or your car.

    But then they create their own problem, they have to prove that you were speeding away from a crime if they cannot they don't have probable cause, so if they search your car under false premises don't matter if you have 50 kilo's in your car any lawyer will get it thrown out and you should file charges against the officer. The same thing is true with say they find a roach in your car they will get you to plead ot possession charges but don't panic prosecutors, lawyers, cops and judges are taught to lie so expect everything they say is as such. Now they have to test that roach, just like they have to test cocaine, heroin, meth etc, they have to prove the substance is what they claim it is, now in the cases of small amounts of a substance they need a certain amount to even test, in the case of the roach they would need more marijuana to actually test that what is contained in that roach, they have to destroy their evidence just to prove what it is.

    True, What you describe are exceptions to the warrant requirement: the automobile exception: An officer may search a vehicle if they have a reasonable belief that contraband is contained inside the vehicle; and the plain view exception: Able to be seen without conducting a search. This includes partially hidden items that can be easily identified.

    In cop situations: 1. Always film or record the audio of the interaction if at all possible. It's always legal to do so, but the police may claim otherwise. 2. Never consent to a search unless you are 100% sure the police won't find anything. Police will ask you casually, "Hey, mind if we check in here?" or something, and your natural inclination will be to say "Ok" because you want to seem agreeable and not suspicious. But don't do that. State in a clear voice, "No, I do not consent to this search." 3. Ask, "Am I being detained?" or "Am I free to leave?" If they say you're free to leave, LEAVE. 4. If the police say you're not free to leave, then stay there, remain calm, do whatever they say, and DON'T SPEAK. If the police start asking you questions (anything beyond your name and address), you don't have to answer. And you probably shouldn't. Just say, "I'm invoking my right to remain silent." 5. In such situations, where the police have you in custody and are questioning you, they really should read you your Miranda rights. That's the whole "You have the right to remain silent..." spiel. Once they say this to you, DEFINITELY shut up. Don't really say anything other than "I'm invoking my right to remain silent" and "I'd like a lawyer." 6. Cop interactions can be extremely high-stress situations, but try to remain calm. Move slowly. Don't make any threatening motions, like quickly reaching into your pocket. Speak calmly, slowly, and clearly. 7. If a cop seems to be ignoring your rights and threatening you, don't try to fight. *Just do what you need to do to survive.* Most cops do their best to follow proper procedure, but there are enough "bad eggs" on the police force that are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise bigoted that police brutality and murder is a serious concern for some people. For example, I told you in step 1 to film the police -- but your primary goal is to get out of the situation alive, so if filming the police is going to escalate a dangerous situation, it's very valid to choose not to do so. Please be safe. Bonus tip: If you are a bystander and you see an escalating police situation, FILM FILM FILM it! And then upload it to social media ASAP.

    1. It's a bit unnecessary, but not illegal, so go ahead. 2. That's dependant on the situation. In some situations, the police have every right to search your car, whether you consent to the search or not. For example: If you are suspected of harbouring a criminal or holding illegal substances. 3. This doesn't always work, because in some cases, you can be stopped, but not detained, and still not be free to go. An example of this would be a roadside safety check where you are required to provide your license and registration, after which you are free to go. 4. Usually, your name, address and license information is enough and the officer will let you go. However, if you refuse to answer other questions like "Do you have any drugs in the car?", that could be construed as you trying to hide the fact that you do. In that situation, saying 'No' would be the safer option, since police officers really don't want to be searching every person they see. 5. This is correct. However, your Miranda Rights don't apply to anything you say to them without being questioned. Also, police don't have to read you your Miranda Rights until they formally question you after you've been arrested. They usually read them immediately after arresting you to get around that. 6. Having lists like this don't help. They start an antagonistic relationship between the civilian and the police officer, which escalates these situations to a point where they really don't need to be at. But yes, threatening the police and reaching into your pocket quickly (especially in the US where they have lots of guns) is generally a bad move, as it would be with anybody. 7. I wouldn't have put it like this at all. The police aren't out to get you, but if you absolutely find the need to fight the police on every single matter, don't do it on the street. Take it to the courts, where problems can actually be solved by somebody with the power to do so. Bonus tip: Feel free to record, but note that it must be in a public place and not on private property without the owner's consent. Also, do not get in the way of the police or try to confront them, since that will just get you in trouble for obstruction of justice. Say nothing and just film it if you really must. All in all, it's good to know your rights, but it's very bad to have this entirely antagonistic approach to the police. If you really want to know what it's like to be a police officer, have a word with your local police and try to organise a ride-along, where you get to see what they do on a daily basis. They may not let you record it for privacy reasons (for the people they're arresting, not the officers), but usually they will let you come along.

    2:56 Law enforcement *cannot* search your vehicle for speeding, if they have no reasonable suspicion that you are committing a crime. Speeding is a moving violation. Violations do not give law enforcement probable cause to search you, the vehicle, or any other occupants, because violations in of themselves are not crimes. Now, if you were speeding and the officer uses roadside tests to determine that you are under the influence of a drug, or if you or someone else in the car were doing something obviously illegal, *then* the police would have probable cause to conduct a search.

If the police officer has enough reason to consider you are drunk (by the smell or the way you are talking) you are going to be charged for DUI, unless you use your right to take a breathalyzer test to prove you are not drunk.

I have heard people who may be border line drunk should take this option since it will take more time to get a blood test done. I was a passenger in a car once and the guy driving got tested. He passed the breathalyzer so we got to go home.

What happens is if it's you say against what the police officer says, the police officer will be right, because they have "public faith" (I don't know if this is the correct translation to english), so in some situations, a police officer testimony is enough to prove you guilty. In this case the breathalizer is your chance to prove you are not guilty.

    I've never heard that speeding (or other minor traffic law violations) constitutes probable cause to search a car.. unless they reasonably suspect you're fleeing the scene of a crime, which isn't the case with most speeding situations. All the cops I've ever worked with have to get consent to search when there is no obvious probable cause, like a weed smell or a weapon/ drug just lying in the passenger seat. I live in Tennessee, so maybe other states have different definitions of probably cause?

    It would depend on the severity and nature of the speeding. For example if they caught you doing 90 in a 55 or you were super jumpy when you were pulled over. They could make the case that they had reason to probable cause to believe that you were trying to evade someone or had something in your system that made it dangerous for you to operate a vehicle. Another example would be a situation where the police could demonstrate that they had reason to feel threatened, like if you were aggressive and refused to comply with lawful instructions (such as keeping your hands on a steering wheel). But in that situation they would be limited in what they could search without your consent, so unless they open the door and a bunch of illegal drugs fell out, there wouldn't be much they can do. Good insight though.

    Nah... officer discretion or how you look can come into play here. 🤔... speeding can be probable cause. I also live in TN, and worked in Law Enforcement. Same definition but the officer has to articulate why he/she did what they did in their report. Often pull someone, they act in a suspicious manner, pull from vehicle, talk to them and weigh the story, if the story is fishy start asking questions and doing a plain view search... if they act aggressively or defiant or the officer is working alone... cuff them and place in rear of cruiser while waiting for an assisting officer then do the plain view search. Maybe call for a drug dog to walk the vehicle if the totality of circumstances warrant it. If those things don't find anything, undetain the person and wave good bye. Lol

    It depends on the totality of circumstances no matter how you slice it. People forget that speeding tickets arent receipts for bad driving they are in lieu of incarceration. Speeding is -at least in Tennessee- an arrest able offense. Things within arms reach while more likely to cause a problem for an officer but in reality everything in the vehicle is under the control of the captain of the vehicle. This logic is why even though someone else tossed a Mickey De's bag in the back of your truck at Walmart when you legally do the speed limit and it flies out you get a ticket for littering. Arms reach of the driver is usually a matter of open container or other activity along those lines. But all of that is really splitting hairs, the driver has ultimate responsibility for the operation of the vehicle no matter what they can/could have refused to drive or other tactic if they didnt want this responsibility.

    I'm pretty sure unless a police officer has some other reasonable suspicion (such as seeing drug paraphernalia in your car or smelling marijuana), a traffic violation isn't enough to allow a search of your vehicle. Although, if an officer asks if you mind them taking a look, and you don't assert your 4th amendment protected right, you're consenting "voluntarily" to a search, so anything they find is allowed to be used in court.

What they can not do is open the glove compartment or the trunk without your express voluntary permission (in most states). The inside of the car is considered a public space because there are windows in all directions, but the compartments are considered private property because you need a key to gain any form of access (this is the legal reasoning that 90% of states go by).

    Well...there's a great deal of space between 'reasonable suspicion' and 'probable cause'. Probable cause means that police have a very high degree of belief that a crime has been committed...and this usually facilitates an arrest on the spot. Reasonable suspicion means that police have reason to believe that a crime may have been committed (in the past) or that a crime will be committed (in the immediate future). These are quite different...and it's a very important distinction.

    the motor vehicle exception wasn't accurate. the police can not conduct a search based on a simple moving violation. they still need probable cause that there is something illegal in the vehicle. there just isn't a warrant requirement. other ways searches are conducted are search incident to arrest which generally covers what the person being arrested at the vehicle can reach for and if the car is impounded inventory searches are lawful. but to summarize moving violations that you can't be put in jail for do not reach the level for the police to conduct a search. in general though when a moving violation takes place, police will ask for consent and individuals with nothing or a lot to hide will give it.

One requires probably cause and the other only reasonable suspicion of involvement or about to be involved in a potentially illegal activity.

    Great video! People ALWAYS forget to include the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. The courts, thought not often, use the Ninth Amendment to cover PRIVACY. When one is being unlawfully searched (occurs often), their PRIVACY is being invaded when we all are born with the EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. Lastly, the Tenth Amendment, per its context, further strengthens that!

    The entitled, lower earning spouse asking for a consultation is likely to get silence. Their attorney is likely to sell them out because if statutes were followed everyone would settle out of court and no money for judges and attorneys. If the lower earning spouse feels that they won't hire an attorney unless they communicate clearly - here's what I experienced. Bonnie Shields appeared to be helpful and was working unbundled. She entered general representation without my knowledge. I read the Introduction to Rule of Professional Conduct (LexisNexis 2014) and there was a ruling stating that unbundled attorneys can enter general representation and do whatever they want on the record. The party has no access to the record except requesting that the court accept the attorney's Motion to Withdraw. That, at least was the law back in 2014 - the Supreme Court changes it weekly to prevent constituents from upholding their civil rights. After entering general representation Bonnie Shields' communications became muddled. The attorney then requests the appointment of a guardian ad litem. A party can't get their attorney dismissed for representing the interests of the opposing party - the rulings claimed its fine. A corrupt judge such as Angela Arkin will not dismiss an attorney. So then the party appeals. But if the attorney preemptively requests the appointment of a guardian ad litem - only the guardian ad litem can appeal. So the two attorneys and the guardian ad litem can rack up endless bills and the party is helpless. The judge gets kickbacks from all of this. She also traditionally removes the party from Permanent Orders and orders the wealthier party to pay the state funded guardian ad litem's fees a second time. She then closes the case, has the attorney hire a locksmith, enter the residence of the poorer party, steal the social security card, Xeroxes of I.D.s, medical and financial documents as well as titles, etc. The guardian ad litem now claims to have power of attorney. If the party appeals the GAL hijacks that litigation and creates endless bills again. All this, without tipping the public as to the correct law - something that a pro-se appeal could get onto a record. I'm giving away copies of my outdated appeal and story freely. The party is also instructed that they can request some of their stolen property back. If the do they get hit with an attorney bill because the case is considered closed (the attorneys and judges still use it - the courts decide whatever makes more money.) It sounds wild - but the judicial branch is unsupervised. Attorneys make their own terms of employment and if a judge feels the statutes get in her money making way she informs a justice. The Court Improvement Committee passes local laws and court rules to make all legislation irrelevant. Many of my friends told me they suffered the same scam by the attorney they hired. The judges intimidate them with fraudulent incarceration, mental hospitals, chemotherapy, etc. Judge Arkin created a 3 month schedule so that the statutes of limitation on the deniable domestic assault kicks in. She has always scheduled hearings around my husband's need to deny the domestic assault. It doesn't help with the injuries or medical bills. I worry that the GAL, Virginia Fraser Able will put me in prison for not taking chemotherapy. I don't have cancer. There is no medical documents showing cancer. But doctors are unregulated and I've seen one fraudulent medical document already. The judge could put me in jail anyway.

    Guy Shepard 1. What picture 2. You mean to tell me that every British police officer rolls over and lets criminals beat the shit into them, or American officers are hardmen who catch every criminal and never get hurt? You can watch police footage from Britain if you like, most of it's just watching someone whine over a speeding ticket or whatever, but never have I seen officers have to use lethal force to take down a criminal- bare hands and muscle does just fine. Besides, lethal force isn't illegal in the UK. It's allowed when raiding buildings which are suspected to have weapons (we *do* have SWAT teams), and of course in situations like terrorist/criminal hostage situations. Otherwise, if the suspect is dangerous but doesn't have a firearm, officers are armed with tasers anyway, which are still pretty dangerous. Someone in a few streets down the road was raided by police after murdering someone, and died after being shot in the eye.
