I understand it's your right to film you weren't doing anything wrong but it's not your right to be a total a****** so next time just answer the question and quit being a douchebag. I personally know that cop and he is a really good guy so he was just checking in on those women to make sure they were okay because they felt unsafe. So next time yes you can exercise your amendment rights but quit acting like a total douche
That was pure art. You shut him down with absolute style. You remained calm, but assertive and used nothing but law, and facts. A small note for the cop; glad he took the whooping and walked away. Many more wouldn’t have been able to resist their own ego. An awesome audit.
Erik Williams I didn’t say the cop acted perfectly. There were a great many things he did wrong. However the only compliment I gave was that he didn’t let his ego ride over his choices. He walked away with his tail between his legs where many other cops wouldn’t have done.
"Officer, if people are uncomfortable with someone out in public with a camera, you should go hold their hand and inform them it is perfectly legal. "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" Go serve the people."
Handled like a BOSS! Outstanding audit. Direct and straight to the point. No yelling and screaming, just a strong assertion of your rights. I loved when you pulled out the notepad like they do.
That was the best cop interaction I have ever seen. I wish all auditors would learn from you Sir. If you have broken no laws, you don’t need to talk or explain yourself to anybody including the police. Great job.👍👍👍
Swift kick in the ball and away he went. This was a good example of a cop knowing the law damn well, but chose to ignore it. This guy should not be a cop.
I did not think you could improve on the velcro maneuver, yet you did by producing the laminated copy of the Fifth Amendment. Bravo! I bet you will be heading up to North Liberty very soon.
Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968) (an officer with reasonable suspicion that a person was committing, about to commit, or had committed a crime could stop the person to investigate); Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648 (1979) (officer may not demand identification absent reasonable suspicion of a crime);
@The Los Alamos Voice No offense, please, but normally when Auditors fail at "the silent treatment," it's because they can't keep their mouths shut. (Just saying...) In all seriousness, it takes practice.
This why every citizen must know their rights down to quoting the local statute. If need be write it down in a small notebook like Indiana News did. Indiana the great state that is the starting point of the KKK. Indiana News TOP NOTCH TOP NOTCH
That's why I enjoy watching these audits - those educational turning points like the one at 3:04 where the cop realizes that you know your rights and that his spiel to get your ID (which works on most citizens) will not work on you. You can see it in his face. He was put in check but was nice about it.
Extremely well-done. Outstanding on many fronts and a true example of how to properly do these types of audits. Indiana News never lets viewers down. A crucial element, which Indiana News displays with pinpoint accuracy each time, is standing ground and remaining firm in the face of police confrontation. This is easier said than done for many of us that do these audits nationwide and is of paramount importance each and every time. Having a "rights" card is always helpful in setting the tone for the encounter since it "stifles" them almost immediately and lets them know, that as the auditor, you know what is going on and will not be screwed around with. Not even for a minute.
Great as usual.. Thank you for your service. More often we're seeing the term 'feelings' come into play in all aspects of our society. Laws are being proposed and passed about personal feelings and being offended. The work you and other auditors do is greatly understood and underated by the public at large, but incredibly necessary.
Love what you did in this video. I loved the note book, I am getting old and will have to have one to keep up. Thank you for showing me its ok to have one.
I always carry a notepad because I forget things. Recently I bought a fanny pack too - I carry my notepad in my fanny pack... these things are awesome.
Excellent job, man. Trust me, I got a feeling that cop was straight up Mirin' on the inside. It's not every day they run into such civically minded citizens. I really enjoy watching your videos. You approach every situation with a set of brass balls that A lot of people would love do. I know these situations have to be awkward for you. I support you, bro!
Love seeing that old notepad come out.....that officer seemed a bit dim.....he did the right thing though and got back into his vehicle. I'll give him credit for that. Nah I don't think I will, retracted😂
Well done 👍🏼 how it got that way in your country that police are like a corporation and try to get around the law to enforce what they want instead of serving the people and upholding the law is Strange and sad
If the police officer does not need to read it then he should go into the post office and explain to them that it is his constitutional right to record in public
You did an outstanding job of interacting with that officer. Certainly far better than I ever could. It would have been nice to get him to say his name and badge number. Also, pursue having allow you to inspect his law enforcement identification card. Another possibility is to assert your civil right of Free Association and choose not to associate with him.
2:03 (COP) "You're making people feel uneasy." No I'm not. I'm not making anybody do anything they don't want to do. They can feel uneasy, or they can feel comfortable. How they feel is neither my business, my fault, nor my problem.
Don't you just love it how their vehicles say Public Safety and yet a vehicle had to go into the left hand lane on to oncoming traffic if there have been any to get around them while he was double-parked talking to his Thug buddy. Excellent vid thank you very much
Wow! I'm so glad you came armed with the law. All auditors should have the laws, pertinent to their activities, in written form or ready to bring up on an electronic device. GREAT JOB!
thats the way all cops in my home state of Indiana should back down when he is wrong in the first place.. Good job.. Am glad you have all the info you need to conduct these audits wrote down..
Should have demanded his license, registration and proof of insurance. He was illegally parked across a driveway without his emergency lights - that is an illegal act and he is not above the law
you are a great auditor, your cool head and quick responses make them all freeze in their tracks. I truly enjoy your videos more than any others that do what you do. keep them coming champ!!!!!!
Officer when you show up or just passed by you make me feel uncomfortable . Because I know you're not held accountable for your actions and you follow no traffic laws .
This auditor handled the fifth amendment protections perfectly. After a little fishing, the officer realized he was in a checkmate situation and disengaged. The fifth amendment gives you the right to remain silent and not answer any questions during a police encounter. However, first you MUST verbally announce you are invoking your right to remain silent; THEN you can legally refuse to answer questions. NOTE: There is case law that says total and complete silence (not verbally invoking your fifth amendment rights) can be cause for an obstruction arrest.
leef_me and Slim News - I may have mis-spoke using the term “case law”. Remember, the police can and will do anything they feel like doing, legal basis be damned. There are RU-vid videos of a traffic stop in New Jersey where a lawyer did remain totally silent and the officer arrested her for obstruction. While the case was dismissed, a wise auditor should always exercise strong CYA behavior unless they are prepared to be arrested. Search RU-vid for “lawyer arrested for remaining silent.”
Slim News - good to know. 👍 however I believe there are many other cases where such silence did not have such a happy outcome. Always best to CYA when dealing with police.
CHC Cops Hate Cameras ...FL Statute 901.151 is the Stop & Frisk (Terry Stop) guidelines. 856.021 is the Loitering statute, nothing to do with Failure to Identify...901.151 is the applicable statute that Akron Ohio needs...aka “Terry Stop.”
Two Black Labs COPS in FL will often pair the two. 901.151 says "a violation of the criminal laws of this state" and applying 856.021 can make that happen. If you are loitering, you are in violation and must ID. Of course, you and I know that won't fly, but many persons who may know the Stop and Frisk law might not be as familiar with the Loitering and Prowling law, thus will ID to the COP.
Tyrant handled like a boss. This could be used as a training video on how to deal with this kind of cop. "Need to ID you to make sure you're OK". "Making people feel uneasy." "Suspicious person." "Trying to figure out who you are." Smartass comment at 3:01.
BROWN V. TEXAS, 443 U.S. 47 (1979), REQUIRES REASONABLE ARTICULATE SUSPICION OF A CRIME TO REQUIRE DETENTION / IDENTIFICATION. The United States Supreme Court case in which the Court determined that the defendant's arrest in El Paso, Texas, for a refusal to identify himself, after being seen and questioned in a high crime area, was not based on a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing and thus violated the Fourth Amendment. The application of the Texas statute to detain appellant and require him to identify himself VIOLATED THE FOURTH AMENDMENT because the officers lacked any reasonable suspicion to believe that appellant was engaged or had engaged in criminal conduct. The Supreme Court has interpreted the Fourth Amendment use of the word “seizure” to mean both the seizure of evidence and, as in an arrest, the seizure of a person. The Court also applied probable cause to searches, seizures, and arrests conducted without a warrant.
