My favorite part of that video is where she said she won't remove her bag and he could go ahead and cuff her with it on her shoulder, and he said ok, that's what I'll do...and then he quite obviously cut the fucking strap so he could get it off afterward. I would love to see another angle of that whole incident.
I have been pulled over a few times as an adult, and as a teenager I was unjustly, and occasionally justly, harassed by police officers...
I was never tazed, hit, or even arrested...
I guess it was my policy of doing what the fuck the officer tells me to do so I can go on my merry fucking way because even when were being a complete asshole there was no way I was going to make my situation worse by acting like a fucking idiot.
So yeah, I emptied my pockets, lifted my pant legs, and lifted my shirt so they could see I wasn't going around 'slashing tires' and guess what... after they were satisfied they had fucked with me enough...
they let me go.
Heh heh heh, works every time.
But I guess that was only because I was white.
I hope that guy got a mad payout from the cops and that cop is no longer working and his pension stripped.
Sovereign citizen shit is shit, but there are certain states, counties etc. that have specific laws that do protect people from not having to have issues id, DL etc. etc. etc. The dude in the car was fine, the cop needed to let him do his stupid shit, say his scripted lines, quote his state and local statues - then the cop can just do the standard bull, give the ticket anyway or use his ability to detain him for 24hr or whatever.
70ish in a 45? yeah not cool... but breaking the dudes window- then tazing him for...what?
As a libertarian I am on the fence generally with this - there is a balance that is to be had... in this case, the cop was way way wrong.
Wut? The guy refused to comply, you expect the cop to entertain his bullshit? I’d’ve tased that fucker a lot sooner than the cop did.
Yes, and the guy was complying he was going to explain his stance - that is what he got out, his 3 ring binder of sovereign citizen sayings - the cop, if the guy is being peaceful and is compliant - and technically he was - should wait it out and as I said, give the last resort of detainment for the 24-48 hours - and when he says "am I being detained" he can say "yes" - that "am I being detained?!" line is a basis off of, if you do a simple transgression like, speeding or jaywalking it is a ticket, NOT a detainment and if THAT is the justification FOR detainment you can sue or seek damages as it is not legitimate.
The cop was 100% the aggressor ripping out the dudes window then pulling him out of his car and tazering him many times.
