it is necessary...he’s literary putting his life on the line to expose how cops lie and intimidate ppl into giving up their rights...in many cases it’s simply just plain old ignorance of the law they’re supposed to uphold and “protect”...ppl can arm themselves w/ this information to complain about these injustices while they’re occurring or if they feel it’s not safe to do so (knowing that it could result in a life/death situation) then they can file complaints afterward knowing that their rights were violated
btw I know you’re a troll so I’m not really wasting this response on you but to anyone w/ half a brain that thinks you’re right I hope they read this
Um, I'm not sure why you're preemptively assuming that I'm unaware or acquiescent of the corruption of police officers and them intimidating people especially black people out in the streets. What I said and I want to clarify, is that arguing law with dumb ass cops is a
waste of time because the cop isn't the final say, the court is. The COURT is where things that matter happen. The cop is just an enforcer for code breakers.
I've literally went to court and contested bullshyt cops said that got me ticketed representing myself years ago. I probably have read/seen information that the average person is not cognizant of. I literally had PAGES worth of documents of several case laws and other stuff(based off a template) to contest something a bytch ass cop said. Basically I say this to say that I didn't say someone shouldn't contest or file complaints or w/e towards a cop, I said that voluntarily(EVEN if it's "legal") walking around doing things for the sole purpose of getting cops attention just to argue with them is imo not a good time(again imo).
I think you might've assumed I meant that he should be a good boy and cooperate with the cops and go home. NO way! I just said going into the street trying to "school" cops on your free time is a waste. I learned the game a long time ago man.
I KNOW that he's right, I agree and love the cacs getting crushed but I'm not one to say go ahead and make yourself a target. If you think I'm lying I can literally PM you the stuff I'm talking about and this stuff has worked. I literally had a judge YELL at me because here I am, some 19 year old black kid with dreads(at the time) with some lengthy documents full of legalese contesting a traffic ticket. I STILL have the documents of which I read that had all this information in it.
This was an excerpt from the document I had obtained from a person that knew all this.
......Now what is your probable cause to be arrested during a routine traffic stop?
Exercising your rights to an irate cop who’s pissed off because you know
your rights and are not afraid to exercise them? That would never hold up in
court. First of all, you must know that the Vehicle Code is the sole authority
for a cop making an arrest (custodial arrest) for a traffic offense.
A cop can arrest you without a warrant ONLY to take you before a
magistrate for a prompt probable cause hearing. You can’t be booked at any
time when your arrest is made for you to be immediately transported before
a magistrate:
“The court noted that under the conditions of the Vehicle Code the arresting
officer could either issue defendant a citation or take him before a magistrate
without unnecessary delay, and the Vehicle Code section, setting forth the
procedure required when an offender is taken before a magistrate, does not,
either directly or by inference, provide for a booking prior to appearance
before the magistrate.”Agar v. Superior Court, 21 Cal.App.3d 24;People v. Ramirez(1984) 154 Cal.App.3d Supp. 1
He can’t arrest you and take you to jail and book you, not for talking back to
him, not for refusing to sign a ticket, or not for exercising your rights. He
can only arrest you temporarily and that is to take you before a magistrate to
justify further restraint and if a magistrate is not available (perhaps due to
the time of day) the Vehicle Code instructs the cop what to do alternatively.
Consider the following:
“Mandatory Appearance Before Magistrate.”
Whenever any person is
arrested for any violation of this code, not declared to be a felony, the
arrested person shall be taken without unnecessary delay before a magistrate
within the county in which the offense charged is alleged to have been
committed and who has jurisdiction of the offense and is nearest or most
accessible with reference to the place where the arrest is made in any of the
following cases: (a) When the person arrested fails to present his driver’s
license or other satisfactory evidence of his identity for examination. (b).....
Never argue with a cop for accusing you of commission of a Vehicle Code
offense. On the street at the scene of the arrest is not the place to get into a
legal discussion or to argue law. Save that for court.
Okay, now this is real important and you never want to forget this! Many
cops will ask you a question so as to set you up for admission of guilt right
there on the spot. For example, a cop may ask you: “Do you know how fast
you were driving?”
This is a trick question! Remember, you still have your Constitutional 5th
Amendment right to not incriminate yourself, even during a traffic stop. Yes,
the 5th Amendment applies to traffic cases too! It applies to any legal case,
especially if it’s criminal!
If a cop ever asks you a question, exercise discretion and be judicious.
Remember, traffic is not about real law or even a real crime. Traffic is a
regulatory offense scheme, a strict liability statute scheme – all to raise
money and make your life a bit more miserable by inconveniencing you.
So basically, get being honest out of your mind in this situation (traffic stop)
because it will only be used against you later on in a court of law. It’s not
about honesty with government, but about being smart and knowing how to
play the game to your benefit. Remember, the System wants something from
you – your money! Don’t volunteer your money away unless you really
want to or because you like helping out government, a government that
doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you or any of its citizens.
So tl;dr, I'm not one of those soft shoe ass negro's that will just accept nonsense thrown at me because it's a cop. I merely said I don't waste time arguing with them, I just get them to come to court(which is what I did.)
The look on that bytch ass cop's face when he came to court was priceless. The motherfukka had the nerve to try to shake my hand and just say "eh I have to go back to patrol I'll just let this one go" when on the street this bytch thought he was the man showing off for his cac officer pal.
