**********I actually misspoke in this video and did not give full clarity. Please read below!**********
I misspoke on this video. Due to much of my time in law enforcement actually being in the state of Georgia. Under Implied Consent all drivers agree to recognize upon earning their driver's license agree to O.C.G.A. § 40-5-55 and § 40-5-67.1When we asked a driver to take filed sobriety test we always incorporated the breath test and or chemical test as well. If they refused the FSTs they would still need to take the breath or chemical test. If they refused then they faced their license being suspended. So even if they did not take the field sobriety test they were required to take a breath or chemical test.
Thank you, you willingness to admit and correct your mistakes speaks to your character! Their are many channels who don't have the courage to do that! I appreciate your commitment to accuracy.
I do not quite follow you. Are you saying one has to always take the field breath test but not the physical "stand on one leg test", etc?
I don't know where you get your information or how long it was since you were a LEO, how much experience, or what state you come from. You might want to clearly preference that in your videos. NHTSA sets the standards for field sobriety. A person indicates a failure by showing a specific number of clues per test. A person passes if they don't show the required amount of clues. It might be your verbage I have a slight issue with. You might want to also advise people that laws differ state by state. They change and might have after your change in employment. Your statement that field sobriety tests are not pass or fail is completely wrong. The tests are exactly pass or fail. You can say "indicates a pass or fail". However, you are now splitting hairs. People can pass field sobriety tests. I've had many pass. I'm sure that every police officer has. If you haven't, you were not in this career long. Then, I'm wondering why you commenting from this platform (We The People University). SFST's can also be used also for evidence gathering. The last time I looked at a Indiana probable cause affidavit (yesterday) they have a list of standardized field sobriety tests. Next to it are the words pass or fail with a box to check them accordingly. I think you also insinuated that without doing SFST'S there isn't any evidence of intoxication (maybe in this video). Overall, this isn't accurate either. You can establish probable cause without any field sobriety tests. I'll give you an example. The driver may have had poor driving behaviors, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from their breath, open container in plain view, slurred speech, glassy eyes, disorderly clothing (urinated on themselves) poor manual dexterity, they may be confused. Upon exiting a vehicle a LEO might observe unsteady balance, ect. Individually, you have next to nothing, you put all or some in a combination you can have probable cause. That's all that is required. You are correct that anyone can refuse SFST's. It is not a requirement that someone complete them at least in Indiana. Sometimes it would benift people to do them sometimes not. Refusal to perform the tests does not establish probable cause. You could say that some or all of those observations could be signs of a medical condition. You are correct. That's where a search warrant for their blood comes in. Which in my area requires a trip to the E.R. This is a great opportunity for medical professionals to take a look at the individual. When the blood draw results come back with anything at or above .08 or illegal drugs you most likely will be at least a per se violation. For those extremely unfortunate yet rare incidents that a person has a medical condition are arrested that person may consider a civil lawsuit. You are also correct that a person doesn't have to assist in a LEO investigation. I'll agree this police officer didn't say or do things perfectly, nor does anyone.They weren't completely awful or even close. I find you commenting on his errors then making your own shows how difficult this job can be. The officer telling him it is a lawful offer that he has to remove his sunglasses isn't accurate. That is not a lawful order. Maybe he misspoke like you. We all error it is part of life. This police officer isn't perfect and he isn't training someone completely wrong. At least with me, I never want to arrest anyone. I want to be the last resort. I hate the feeling of taking someone's freedom from them. Sometimes, it has to be done. The more information I have, the better decisions I can make. I work for the people. Not to sound rude but, saying you are a former police officer and former deputy sheriff doesn't really qualify you as an educated officer. There are just as many current uneducated officers as former ones. I really wouldn't take advice from anyone less that 10 years experience. That is about when an officer is grounded and decently educated. No matter the experience level or years of service, officers will make mistakes.I'm sure you did. Do you have any other education? Maybe a bachelor's or master's degree? Just something more than I did this job so I'm qualified. It might also help if you pointed out what the officer did well. That would cut down on the deviciveness. Unless that is the goal then you are doing well. There are a lot of aweful police officers out there. I do believe there are more good ones than bad. I do believe the system is broken and needs reformed. I do believe officers need to be held accountable. If that means being written up or even jail time. Even as a police officer I am not a back the blue guy, a thin blue line guy or any of that nonsense. I'm a pro common sense guy. I'm guy a that got into a career to help people. I will not dispute that I've been mortified of the actions of some law enforcement just as I've been mortified of the actions of the public. I truly believe that besides victims and family members of victims created by LEO's there is no one more angry at bad officers than good officers. Good officers pay the price for bad officers every day. Those that say good to that or they earned that are a part of the problem. It seems that it is not acceptable if law enforcement is treated poorly by one that we take it out on everyone. So I would challenge everyone to treat everyone how they want to be treated respect goes a long way for everyone.
Am I able to refuse a FST in New York? What are the consequences of not consenting?
@@Lightw0rker777 so.. FST'S (feild sobriety tests) include tests like the "walk and turn", "nystagmus eye tests", "ABC's and counting".. chemical tests are breath, blood and urine tests, a breathalyzer is the most common chemical test used during DUI investigations. It's important to understand the difference between "FST'S (eye test) and Chemical Tests (breathalyzer)". A breathalyzer is NOT an FST, it is a chemical test. No state requires you to preform FST'S, there is no punishment for refusing FST'S in any state... BUT there are punishments for refusing Chemical tests (aka a breathalyzer). When you get a license you are agreeing to provide a BAC (blood alcohol count) upon request of law enforcement. An officer can order you to provide your BAC (usually in the form of a breathalyzer) during a DUI investigation, if you refuse to provide your BAC or refuse the breathalyzer your license will automatically be suspended for 6 months to 1 year depending on your state.
The police will always ask you to preform FST'S before asking you to take a breathalyzer because their goal is to gather as much evidence as possible. FST'S strengthen their case.. if you refuse the FST'S (which is your right! And you cannot be penalized) the officer will then ask you to provide a BAC (blood alcohol count) using a breathalyzer. You CAN legally refuse a breathalyzer, in fact most lawyers recommend that you do (especially if you've actually been drinking) BUT your license will be suspended automatically.
It's also important to know that if you decide to refuse the breathalyzer and your license does get suspended for 6 months, a judge can over turn that suspension. Many times courts will look at a DUI suspension and decide that the officer did not have enough suspicion of intoxication to initiate a DUI investigation in the first place and the judge overturns the suspension. So, don't let the fact that your license will be suspended scare you into taking the breathalyzer. If you refuse the FST'S and the chemical tests, they have VERY LITTLE evidence that you were driving while intoxicated, as a result those cases are usually dismissed and your license reinstated. They may have other evidence like the officer saying "he smelt alcohol on your person" or they may have dash cam of you swerving BUT in a courtroom that evidence alone without FST'S makes a much weaker case. You are always better off refusing FST'S.
It's also important to understand that if you decide to refuse the chemical test (breathalyzer) and accept your license being suspended, an officer MIGHT still be able to arrest you on "suspicion of DUI" based solely on his observations. Observations such as " your speech is slurred, the odor of intoxicants, swerving, you appear unsteady on your feet"..Once you've been arrested he can apply for a search warrant for your blood and FORCE you to provide a BAC through blood sample.
Also, if you decide to take the breathalyzer and you blow a 0.00, the officer might still arrest you on "suspicion of driving under the influence" based solely on his observations!! An officer can use his observations such as " red glossy eyes, he smells weed on you or in the vehicle, or you were driving erratically" to help establish the probable cause he needs to arrest you. So, it's important to understand that even if you pass the breathalyzer you may still be arrested. Most lawyers recommend that you ALWAYS refuse FST'S and only submit to a breathalyzer if you haven't had anything to drink. If you have been drinking refuse both FST'S and chemical tests, let them arrest you and try to apply for a search warrant for your blood, it might be denied (strengthening your case).
So, to summarize you CAN refuse FST'S (walk and turn, eye tests, ABC's) without any penalty.. You CAN refuse chemical tests (breath, blood, urine) BUT you will be penalized and your license will automatically be suspended. Hope this helps!
If you lie to a cop, it's obstructing an investigation.
If they lie to you, it's Tuesday.

Whenever a cop says "Oh, you wanna go that route?" you know they are about to violate someone's rights.
I've heard it put this way, a DUI test will never be used to prove your innocence, only your guilt.
Im a recovering alcoholic and have avoided a dui on numerous occasions before I got sober by not refusing field sobriety tests. I could pass 1 with ease regardless of my blood alcohol level and since I never refused 1 I was never forced to take a breathalyzer. Thankfully I don't have to live like that anymore.
@@1badombre82wait wait wait, you avoided a dui by NOT refusing to take a sobriety test? These tests are designed for the person to fail. How did you pass them? Assuming you were obviously drinking, and that the BAC cutoff is literally one beer in most states. Expound please, I’m curious
@@rogermoreno1152 I was never asked to take a breathalyzer because I never refused a field sobriety test. I was a professional drinker so it was always easy to pass. I warned them ahead of time that I was missing a ligaments in my dominant foot (wich I am) to explain any slight wobble
@@1badombre82 ok, but as I said the field sobriety tests are designed to be failed, even by completely sober people. I’ve seen several cases of sober people failing them, many because of poor balance. Having to do the stand on one leg thing for so many seconds is almost impossible for anybody, even sober people. A lot of people just have shit balance and coordination. You must be a one in a million to have passed any of them
@@rogermoreno1152 well yeah I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But in my experiences they weren't administering it in hopes of arresting me for dui
My dad who was a cop for 25 years in Philly told me one thing I’ll never forget - never talk to a cop - they are not your friend and aren’t going to be your buddy. Car stops make every citizen hate cops because many times it is an excuse to give a ticket and bring in money.
Truth
My dad was a detective in Philly, in the early 80's himself. He always told me, never answer questions, and do what they "order" you to do. Today's officer's don't know what to do with you, if you're doing what they are about to tell you to do, already. Bahahahaha

It turns out that the test for citizenship is pretty tough and requires immigrants to know more about America than most Americans.
@@comfortablynumb9342 No more truth was spoken than that...hes probably a software engineer to boot...
Officer is a jerk. Hope he still doesn’t have a badge
Id bet most immigrants probably understand their rights here more than citizens do and that's pathetic.
This is my new favorite American citizen. He stood up to a police officer that was clearly trying to hem him up.
This trooper is not the type of person you want to be a cop, in any way, form or fashion. What a tyrant.
Unfortunately most of our “finest” are the opposite of that. Cops break the law more than lawful firearm owners. A fact people need to start considering. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Little jerk!
That cop is the kid who got picked on all through school and entered the police force with a giant chip on his shoulder. Glad this guy recorded this, this is actual footage of someone recording a truthfully bad situation.
All cops are!!!!
True!!!
I would have hung this cop by his bvds from his locker when he was in high school.Thats why he became a cop.To get payback.
No, cops we’re the bullies.
Sorry, just repeated what you said?
You can tell that officer loves his authority.
Obvious case of little man syndrome
Add short man syndrome to that he probably got picked on in school all the time that's why he is a cop. I've run into cops that can't wait to fight, both should be barred from becoming cops on a psych. test.
"YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAAAAY!!!"
That is what a psychopath looks like.
This citizen is great! Im glad he knows and exercises his rights.
I continuously resent the fact that I feel paranoid instead of protected every time I see a cop. If they were the good guys, I would have no reason to feel that way.
Amen , I was raised on a police salary and was taught to respect them , but in light of my dealings with officers like this one have made me very untrusting of the badge
@@jamesstocks6083 Same here my friend.

I had to pause the video after that one I burst out hollering.
Same here! That had me chuckling something fierce!!
That cop was dying Inside
I was surprised the cop didn’t say yes. Total worthless human. I hate him so deeply. 😓😰😰
Was just gonna say that...And that is something my ass would come up with
This cop has never in his life heard someone say they're afraid of him. I can see the one bullet the department gave him in his pocket. Sad this is a officer in our country.

Tell him the truth; “I don’t trust you. I think you are corrupt and dangerous.”

😂😂👊
The “officer” is a horrible one. Man, he thinks he’s above all things. He is one reason we all need to know our rights. What a complete jerk.
Yep..its these sort of cops that give the whole force a bad image. They have the self righteous "respect my authority" sort of personality and they get off on having power over others.
These kind of officers shouldn't ever be allowed to interact with the general public, at best they should work at the county jail.
@@c7wc When I read your comment I read that as, “Respect my authoritaaaayyy!!!” 😂. But you’re completely correct, power in the wrong hands will be used to enforce tyranny and should be kept in check.
@@elizabeth84266 ahahaha that's 100% how I meant it too. The over the top South Park type power trip lol.
You get people who get into the profession for the wrong reasons, those who enjoy the power dynamic of having control over others. Those who let their emotions and feelings dictate their actions, and it's completely detrimental to a police forces public image/ the people's trust in police.
They are ALL horrible.
By rights of force.
They will never protect citizens because all they want is have power over them.
“I am not your dog! You do not tell me to sit!”
Poor trooper died inside when the “suspect” said that, cuz he knew he’d lost by that point and wasn’t gonna be able to make this guy dance to his tune. You could see it written all over the trooper’s face.
Bully as a child, bully as an adult. NEVER talk to cops!
I doubt he was a bully as a child. I suspect he was bullied as a child. He is now a bully for damn sure.
That guy was real weird , not sure what but something ain't right about him mentally
This trooper was 100% picked on all throughout school.
Dunked in toilet every week ... and loved it..
100% and now taking out on everyone he comes in contact with! Sad! Most cops are!
What a creepy looking clown.
thats exactly what i thought - you know he was saying “when im a cop , nobodys gonna pick on me - im gonna bully people. or try to”
Looks like he was picked on his whole life, and wants his revenge on the world. And picked the law enforcement profession to carry out his revenge.
They literally hate it when people know their rights . He’s was so mad none of his orders worked .
this cop has an attitude, power trip..
Cop's on a power trip. Was pulled over recently for a DUI checkpoint. Told me I had to do a roadside sobriety test. I told them that they were harassing an at-risk senior. I'm legally disabled and couldn't pass such a test. I told them to charge me or release me. One or the other. Stuck to that statement and after 15 minutes of "ordering," me to do this or that, they finally told me to leave.
Best outcome. possible. Best to say NOTHING beyond the proverbial "Name, Rank, Serial Number." You need never justify yourself to any LEO; a cop must establish Reasonable Suspicion to detain in order to investigate for a crime(s), and Probable Cause to arrest. Hold the police to those standards, and don't give them ANYTHING. They are NOT your friends and don't have YOUR interests in mind.
The thing about all of this that just kills me is that police are supposed to protect people. But they prey on the public instead.
They only protect if it's on video so they can claim " Hero". They don't give 2 shits about anyone.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Sooooooo true
Not good to generalize. It’s never accurate.
They don't protect there own wives r husbands We have no chance
This officer belongs in prison. He is a tyrant and needs to be stripped of his job
That cop definitely got beat up in high school.
without a doubt
Probably gets beat up by his boyfriend, too.
Absolutely
Dude... when the trooper just stares at him silently with his skinny head and glasses and giant hat LOL there's no way I wouldn't start laughing.
That trooper just turned from Colonel Hartman from "FMJ" to shithead in hat lmao
Cop: "I'm giving you an order!"
Driver: "So, you could ORDER me to cut the grass & it means nothing." Touchet sir 😆
I use this argument all the time at work when I'm told by management to just do what I'm told. Then, because it's usually some violation of policy, or a law even, I just agree to do it .... AFTER they make the demand in writing and put their name to it. That usually puts an end to the demand 😄
"No, officer, I won't get on my knees and FELLATE you!"
You can just tell that this little man would make an excellent "War Criminal".
And here you have it ladies and gentlemen, a field training officer in action. This answers a lot of questions.
That officer has no idea what to do.
Never assist the police in their investigation against you. Best advice in one of these videos I have heard in a while.
Every word you give them is evidence and they tweak it just enough that they can violate our constitutional rights. We give them the rope and keep talking till they have enough to hang us.
This guy is amazing. Knowing your rights makes you have power. It’s why the police and politicians don’t have any desire for people to be educated and informed of the truth.
Fact.
You think it's the responsibility of the police to educate people about the law?
Add that to the list of things we expect cops to do at all times - always be perfect, never make mistakes, know everything about every situation the second they show up, respond to calls within 5 seconds of being called, shoot guns out of people's hands so you don't have to kill them, disarm people with knives or blunt weapons without hurting them, know every single law and every applicable exception, and educate people about all of those laws.
And do all of that while people are demanding to defund the police, stringing up good cops for enforcing the laws on people with the wrong skin tone, convincing good cops to quit, demanding more training while demanding less money go towards training, etc.
Might just be easier to not break laws, like driving drunk.
Usa , the nazi police state .
This is the reason people have a grudge against the police. They use the public to extort them ..they are nothing better than organized crime
@@ericsw03 Didn't say it was the officers job...he should know the law though...kinda comes with the job. On the subject of expecting gold out of men and women in blue, you're damn right I expect a certain level of professionalism and higher standards than a civilian! They accepted the job, and not just any job but one that holds the line between life and death when interacting with people.
I was taught for about a month that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. The government decides what we learn. We went through the entire constitution in about 3 days... That should tell you all that you need to know. Step outside of party lines, and vote for who you think best is the most intelligent and assertive. Intelligence takes top priority though.

Wow. Ur genius.
If you don't answer questions you might get in trouble, but being silent has the benefit of diffusing and unarming the cops bag of tricks. Punch that quota gents. Part of an investigation is to see if the person isn't a threat. Mission accomplished. This man was sound judgment and is a true American.😊
I love this guy and with how he is standing for his rights. His honesty should be evidence to the more senior LEO
When a cop says "because I said so" basically translates to, "I don't what the hell I am doing" If a cop can't tell you exactly the reason for his order, he should not be a cop.
Yes, the way the police officer spoke about him getting out of the car clearly let one know he thinks anything he says people have to do. Definitely loves the power.
maybe he is tired of the internet lawyers
@john V
Maybe the populace is tired of ignorant lawless oathbreaking road pirates who “fake it till they make it” via threats of force & violence, to pull us over next to 80mph semi-trucks & cars that could kill us at any moment for a NON-EMERGENCY attempt at revenue collection.
All the officer had to do was say "because Pennsylvania v Mimms states that you must vacate the vehicle when asked by an officer".
@@BlackWat3rGTR but they also do not have an obligation to do so.
This whole interaction lasted as long as it did because cops HATE when you tell them no and will do whatever it takes to try and get you on any technicality as punishment for defying them. You will go to jail for the most minor of offenses to teach you not to ever tell them no or question their authority.
which of course makes you hate police and far more prone to give them shit at every single opportunity from then on.
Boy, ain’t that the truth!
Judges are the same. How dare we challenge a false ticket, and after missing 4 days of work as they jerk us around, demand they schedule a court date that fits our schedule. Well, we paid hard for that, and it is clear we will get nowhere trying to fight it any further. It’s disgusting.

I may never need to know this sort of stuff, but I am happy I at least have the knowledge now. Thank you sir for making these videos !!
He’s 67!? He looks 12
Retired LEO here. I unknowingly took advantage of people that did not know their rights. I drank the cop koolaid. After receiving my bachelors degree in criminal justice, the Constitutional law class taught me the real deal and I feel ashamed for not upholding the oath. No one I ever encountered though, knew their rights. Please people, know and exercise your rights to put cops in check. You may actually be educating them.
Cops get pissed when those they encounter are well-versed in their rights. I recall a DUI checkpoint "refusal", where some buzz-cut "Good ole' boy" pushes some kid around, and conducts an unlawful search of his ride, AFTER having the drug dog scratch it up with his claws. All through the search, the cop mocks the kid to his partner, who sees the kid's cell phone left videotaping, and deliberately shines his flashlight into it to blind away any footage, as "he KNOWS his 'rights' " with an almost-comical drawl.
There was nothing about this guys language or demeanor that would lead someone to believe he was impaired. Abuse of power denied. Love it.
You didnt witness his driving. Spedch is not tge only indicator of an impaired driver.
@@bobvest8973 if he had probable cause from the driving, he'd have arrested the guy.
@Shane Colis you dont seem mean spirited. Im saying from the video we watched we honestly dont know what the officer witnessed or if he had RAS for a DUI suspicion leading to the stop.
I am very involved in my constitutional rights and very much understand them. I exercise them regularly. I am very involved in the audit community. But I do refuse to watch videos with a closed mind and i refuse to assume the cops are always wrong and the citizen is always right. I understand these youtube personalities ha e followers who think very one sided but I think openly and weigh every video seperately based on the evidence revealed in each video. That is the only way you can truely decide if someone rights had been violated. In this video there is no evidence the cop had RAS and there was no evidence that the cop was violating the mans rights either. That is because we only ha e a small part of the interaction and we ha e none of the video of what transpired before the stop. Therefore we camt actually say if his rights are being violated
@@admthrawnuru not true. You dont need probable cause to have reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspucian can be swirving, almost hitting a semi, following to closely. Upon further investigation he lacked probable cause for an arrest. Mainly because the man was smart enough to refuse the field test.

In June of 2022 my special needs son and I were driving to work when I was pulled over by the highway patrol. I was put through the field sobriety tests in the rain on the side of a busy road. I blew zeros on the breath test but was arrested for DUI. The trooper called my wife to come pick up my son. When my wife arrived she said that there was something wrong with me and that I should be taken to the hospital - the trooper hand cuffed me and said no, he’s going to jail. After 2 hours of mug shots and finger prints I was released to my wife who took me directly to the hospital where I was told I had a heart attack and small stroke. These officers really need to learn how to differentiate intoxication from a medical emergency emergency, and if they are unsure, to always error on the side of caution.
The charges against me were reduced but I still paid a lot of money on attorneys fees, court fines, reinstating my drivers license, impound fees, etc. My attorney sent me the body cam footage but I haven’t watched it because I don’t want to relive that painful moment.
So sorry you had to deal with that. I had a similar experience without the yawnful details these cops should be more empathetic to different circumstances. It's horrible how that one arrest costs us citizens thousands in fees and impounds when we're trying to be productive members of our community. The lack of concern is appalling...
Tell me again, why we NEED them??? They are dehumanizing people. Harassment and collecting for their overlords!!!!
All the cops care about is arrests and revenue. He knew you were sober.
If you truly experienced the "heart attack" and/or "small stroke", then you ought to have retained an attorney immediately to sue the officer and his jurisdiction for failure to ensure proper care while you were in custody. Even if the arrest proved justified, which your narrative indicates was NOT, the officer still has an obligation to ensure reasonable care while you're in custody.
@@selfdo Thx for your reply. When they released me from jail and my wife took me to the hospital, I was not discharged from the hospital for 5 days. I had 5 stents placed in my coronary arteries to increase blood flow to my heart muscle. Also had the stroke. My PCP - primary care physician - wrote a scathing letter to the court, stating my medical issues and that I should file a law suit against law enforcement for delaying my needed emergent medical care. The attorney I hired was referred was referred to me by a family member and he seemed mainly interested in fighting the charges. I was not in a good mental state at the time and was focusing on healing. It’s been 2 years now since this happened, but I agree with you, I should have pursued suing law enforcement for delaying my medical care if for no other reason than educating law enforcement.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Props to this guy for sticking up for himself in the face of tyranny.

Intimidation is 1 of the "Malignant Narcissists" greatest weapons to manipulate the unsuspecting...
It's absolutely disgusting that if I lie to a police officer, I'm a criminal - obstructing justice. If a police officer lies to me, he's just doing his job.
A superb example of a narcissist and an armed one. It is only a matter of time before someone gets really hurt because of him.
He will shoot someone guaranteed
I have a real narcissist here in my county. I am over 70 now and several years ago two county deputy's cars actually slid into my driveway, ordered me to stand about fifty feet away and they would talk to me in a minute. I have never in my long life did anything wrong. Never committed a crime. Heck, i haven't had a speeding ticket in over forty years. The two cops just stood at their cars joking and talking, so after about ten minutes i walked over to find out what was going on. In a flash the one crazy cop jumped on my back and started punching me, and then the other came over. I thought he was going to pull the cop off of me, but then he also started beating me. They threw me to the ground and my head hit a big rock knocking me out. As i was coming to, they began kicking me from head to toe. I was bruised from my head , down my body and even my feet were bleeding and bruised from them stepping on them. Then i was charged with assault on a cop! The judge, the cops and my public defender worked together and my public defender told me to take a plea deal. I was shocked. Then my public defender said i should take a plea deal or i would go to prison for five years. I am old and on a small fixed income so i couldn't afford a real lawyer. I ended up taking a deal which i had to attend several different programs. One was Alcoholics anonymous (i never have drank alcohol).. a drug addiction class (have never used drugs) and a psychiatric class. (which i actually led the class when the Doctor had to leave and go somewhere (which she did every day) She actually put me in charge of teaching the class! lol There are a lot of nutcase cops out there and one of the cops who attacked and beat me has killed people since, but they always say he was justified. One was an old man in his back yard and the cop was alone. He said he thought the man had a gun. He was very old and was holding a beer can. I am wary now and always have my Kahr 40 at my side. I'm too damn old to put up with it anymore. Sorry for writing a novel. Your post just hit the nail on the head and it reminded me of my incident.

@@ANunes06 The sad truth is that you will never see that kind of a behavior out of cops in Eastern Europe, as they are usually much more civilized than US state troopers. However they also have more rights to stop, search and arrest than their US counterparts, so it works both ways.

@@miltonmoore8369 I can tell you're blind as a bat.
I am so uneducated on the law and got pulled over for DUI in California the day before Thanksgiving. I answered every question honestly because I thought honesty is the best policy and it got me arrested overnight. Now I have to go to court in a month to find out my fate. I did a blood test, and will show positive for legal substances, only. I got pulled over for a burnt out tail light which I didn't know I had, otherwise I was driving just fine.
Your first mistake was trusting a piggie! 🐷
Your first mistake was trusting a piggie! 🐷
So what were you arrested for?
There's a distinction between being "honest" versus ratting yourself out. You owed the officer NO recount of what you ate, drank, smoked, snorted, sniffed, applied dermally, or suppositoried "up your shaft". Nor did you need "splain" your itinerary. If asked questions, all you had to do was verbally assert your 5A right to remain silent and demand the presence of counsel before the police asked any more questions, then STFU. Yes, cops habitually go into "jerk" mode when a subject won't talk nor furnished them with evidence against him that he doesn't have to give up, or simply doesn't consent to any searches of his person, effects, vehicle, or home. To them, asserting your rights means you're "hiding something" or "know you're guilty". And, BTW, having only "legal" substances in any blood test for DUI most certainly WON'T get your off the hook, as a "drugged DUI" can be substantiated quite well by OTCs and/or Rx. May be hard to actually prove they impaired you, but likewise, it'll be difficult and expensive to assert in court that they DIDN'T.
I love the way they always say "you want to go this route" when you start demanding your rights....
“I want to let you know this officer is a real piece of sh**”!
God bless you sir! And this is a real LAWFUL CITIZEN angry at an officer who tried to intimidate him to get him to comply with every demand! The cop threatened to arrest him for not taking his sunglasses off and for not telling him if his drivers license displayed his current address! I’m glad there are American citizens out there like this man! You did great. Thank God you were recording too!

I was pulled over. I had 1 beer 2hours before I drove. I was asked to take the FST. I thought no problem I am sober.
Took the test, and I thought I aced it.
Nope....took me into custody and did a breath test at the sub station which came back .03. Well below the limit.
The officer still booked me for duece based off of my FST performance.
D.A. charged me and explain there is two ways they can charge . B.A.C. or F.S.T. I got it reduced to wreckless driving. My attorney informed me, that you do not have to take the F.S.T.
Had I not, I would not have been charged.
Roflmao
" if you give me an order to cut the grass do I have to do it?" I love it the guys a smart ass. But he has a lawful point!
"Eh you can give me order to cut the grass here" got me scremin😂😂😂
"You can order me to cut the grass here.. Is that a lawful order?" Funny stuff. 😆
I was looking for this comment. That's a very important point. If there is such a thing as a lawful order, to what extent does it exist? In most states, the words "lawful order" will only be found in the transportation section of the statutes, and it pertains to police or school crossing guards directing traffic. It doesn't give cops the ability to bark any order, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable, and turn it into a crime for not obeying. Now, having said that, the courts likely won't agree with me on this. You never see anyone charged with failure to obey a lawful order. They usually charge people with obstruction because there is no "lawful order" statute in the criminal codes in most states, and the courts let them get away with it.

This gentleman was simply being used as a training aid on how to abuse authority.
I hope the trainee learned that this approach doesn't work.

Not showing ID is a CRIME? How does showing an ID absolve someone of a crime? Cops show up, ask people for ID, and that's about all they seem to do. I've watched hundreds of hours of police interactions and I've never seen them actually investigate nothing... Less one Crime!
It failed…..bigly.
This trooper lives for these power trips, you can tell by the smirk on his face he is getting off to this. Probably bullied as a kid now he’s taking it out and getting “even” on innocent people so he can feel like a man…

Abiyah, you are one of my favorites. Your content is always excellent and you present it so professionally, and clearly. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I was impressed with how the driver stood his ground. Props! The only suggestions I would have would be for him to ask "am I being detained, or am I free to go?"
That's what I was thinking too. This entire scenario was nothing more than a failed attempt to coerce this fella onto doing something or saying something thst would land him in proper trouble. Pathetic and sad.
Cops lose their minds when a citizen uses their legal rights. Then they say " so you want to go down that road" as if following the rules & your rights is a dark alley road where you will get your ass kicked by these psychopaths.
This citizen is my hero. My life dream is to be able to use his line about asking a cop if I have to cut grass if he 'orders' me lol
I liked the I'm not a dog line.
Yup, citizens are always wrong, just ask any COP....
He should have told the cop he has a built in breathalyzer - all the cop needs to do is unzip his pants and suck vigorously on the probe until he gets a sample which he can evaluate for alcohol based on it’s flavor!

@@celesteonthetube Can you and Sonny itemize three things he did wrong, I dont see any. The officer tried to initiate a sobriety test, he refused, thats about it.
@@mannycastle3011 Yes.
1) Demand to exist the vehicle. Legal only if officer fears for their safety. In this case it’s for a field sobriety test.
2) Saying the driver must verify his address on license is current. Driver does not need to answer, considered aiding the officer in his investigation against driver, violation of (4th or 5th?) amendment rights.
3)Saying driver must remove his eyeglasses so he can see if driver is impaired. Again, driver does not need to as it would be aiding officer in the investigation.
This officer is nicer than most and is in training, so I give him some slack, but he is already making demands that would trick someone who doesn’t know their rights because they sound like it would be illegal to not follow them.
@@celesteonthetube and he can attempt to trick people as well as ask whatever he wants really. Then the driver can refuse to answer as he did. Everything worked out ok. Now,. As far as address,. I understand he cant demand to know the address,. However,. I believe the lawmakers are leaving their officers out to dry without giving them this tool. End of day is many people move and never change their address,. I believe it sld be a question that must be answered. The getting out of car, I'm going to assume ur correct,.

I used to back the blue. But over the years I don’t so much anymore. I don’t understand why cops don’t at least have to have a bachelors degree before ENFORCING THE LAW. Some of these cops have no degree whatsoever and don’t have any regard for peoples rights. It’s sad. Thank you for this video.
I used to aswell. Unfortunately it took 30+ years for me to change my view. After being pulled over 17 times in a 34 day period. All because someone living in my neighborhood just wasn't a fan of me but had a friend and happened to be a Sheriff Deputy. Person living in my neighborhood told his friend I was a big-time drug dealer and I supplied everyone in the area. You would think in order for Sheriff's Office to pull you over that many times in such a short period they would need some kind of proof or something. Those 17 different occasions they pulled me over I never got a ticket a citation anything because I wasn't doing anything illegal. But they kept pushing and I made a call down to the Sheriff's Office to ask why the fuck is going on and all sudden it just stopped. I'm about to go in all of the details because it's a lot but probably 25% of those stops they did some bullshit in like making me sit in mud as I'm in handcuffs. Dumping my Mountain Dew can out inside of my vehicle all over the inside and other childish and probably illegal Acts. Kind of odd no body Cam's wherever on no - cams wherever on so they claim.
In my opinion, rhey should undergo monthly psyche evals cause some of these guys aren't right in the head
Have you paid attention to the modern day F.B.I.& D.O.J...
One of my relatives is a good, honest man with even temperament and fastidious attention to the law. He was a sheriff's deputy for 20 years, then worked with the FBI task force as a liaison tracking, arresting, prosecuting, and convicting child pornographers and human traffickers. He was one of the few people in law enforcement I ever met that I would trust with my family's life, including my own. And when the conversation came up about abuse of police power, he said something that mortified me.
People tend to gravitate to becoming police officers from two sources:
(1) those that are humble, self-sacrificing, and are born of a character that wants to uphold, secure, *and* protect the rights and privileges of their encompassing community and its members. It could almost be considered a "calling", but one born from humility. They want to protect their neighbors, their children, and keep their community safe in a legal, moral, and ethical way, in accordance with the laws of their land.
(2) those of personality temperament that are engrossed in wielding power via a position of authority where they can tell people what to do or not do, how to act or not act, where to go or not go, how to stand or not stand, what to say or not say, etc. And they feed that mantra via the auspices of sporting the means to exact lethal force as a threat to accomplish it.
In short, they come from the pools of (1) servants, and (2) bullies that stroke their egos and get their rocks off by ordering people around.
What shocked me was my relative, a life-long public servant, telling me flat-out a non-trivial *majority* of officers he's known (thousands of them) fall into the latter category, not the former. This man had seen a LOT during his career, and I found it mortifying that, in his experience, most officers wear the uniform because they "dig it", not because they want to truly serve the public at-large. We always knew there were some; but it was a real eye opener to hear how even the "good" officers know just how bad it really is.
Lol bachelors wouldn’t mean anything, look at our politicians regardless of the political party they are in, and it looks like the FBI is hiding stuff
I love how he trained the new officer by challenging the training officer. That rookie learned a lot that day.
7:59 his cut the grass comment got me 🤣😂😂😂
Main lesson: one night in jail by refusing the test is better than 1 year in prison with a dui charge. Invoke your right to remain silent and your right to an have an attorney present
Never understood how lying to a police officer can get you arrested and tried in court, but if a police officer lied to you and you were under the impression they were telling the truth nothing happens to them. How is that even possible?
Tyranny and corruption. That's how. It is a direct result of the "Us vs. them" mentality.
First, the Con Edison has failed to prove that Butler’s non-criminal consumption of a legal substance rose to the level of abuse or that Butler’s consumption of alcohol adversely affected his job performance or the public’s trust (whatever that is). Moreover, the only consequence of off-duty chemical substance abuse is that the employee will be sent for a JFE. Here, Butler was sent for a JFE on December 16, 2014 tested negative for drugs and alcohol.
On December 13, 2014, Butler was purported observed by Officer Brito moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat a couple of hundred yards from the DWI checkpoint. Officer Brito did not testify that Butler was driving erratically or displayed other indicia of someone that was driving while impaired. The Union concedes that Officer Brito’s assumption that Butler’s actions were to avoid being identified as either a driver who had been drinking or a driver who might not have had a valid license is reasonable. It is also reasonable for Officer Brito to assume that if he could see Butler then Butler could see him. That assumption is not reasonable.
Officer Brito also demonstrated his expertise and training in many facets of alcohol and drug testing but the only verified test result was the breathalyzer results. This is important because clearly Brito had an animus against Butler. Brito testified that Butler was quietly being difficult and when Brito was asked why he issued Butler a summons for refusing to test AFTER he submitted to a breathalyzer test Brito testified that Butler was walking out of the police station with a summons regardless. Butler was issued a summons that was so patently meritless that the Westchester District Attorney’s office did not even submit opposition to Butler’s motion to dismiss. (Union Exhibit “2“)
The Union submits that Brito’s testimony is troubling. A police officer charged with upholding the law and who described himself as an expert in the observation of behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol and who is also charged with knowledge of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law issued a summons that (based on his expertise) he had to know was invalid Brito practically admitted that since Butler gave him a hard time and wasted his time that night (because he did not engage in criminal conduct), he was going to give Butler a hard time. That hard time translated into the issuance of an invalid summons that forced Butler to retain counsel and utterly wasted the time of the Court that dismissed the summons that the Westchester County determined unworthy of opposition.
Unfortunately, cops have this stupid thing called qualified immunity, and the legal ability to lie,. But I agree with you. I don’t see how it is right for them to lie, but we can’t. They are supposed to be upholding the law what is we can clearly see with every video that comes out pretty much on the hour. That I don’t think there is a good cop. And in my 50+ years, I’ve never met one. Now granted, I don’t go around breaking the law either. But from everything I’ve seen and everything I’ve witnessed in my life there are no good cops. Not one.
@@carsfabio I'm 60. Never arrested. Perfectly clean record. But like most people, I have had many interactions with police. I have never encountered a police officer that acted with integrity. I consider them thugs.
It's the same way that if you accidentally kill someone you go to jail and the police go on vacation.
That cop is on a power trip. He wouldn't talk to me like that without getting it dished back out. I can't stand arrogance. Kudos for this man standing up for his rights.
He got big mad because the guy know his rights
thanks for imforming us Abiyah
I'm so glad to hear you say the tests are not pass/fail and just for collecting evidence, failure almost a certainty- because I failed one stone cold sober. It was dismissed in court after I blew 000's at the station twice. These "visual drug impairment experts" cops are becoming are alarming now too.
Same thing happened to me. They kept escalating the test saying i failed until we finally used the breathalyzer that read o.oo. The cop didn't want to even tell me what it said just angrily then told me to leave now and be on my way. He was mad that I was sober 🤦♂️
I got pulled out after telling the cop I had 2 beers within the span of 5 hours. I passed the test
Same.
Ha ha , I passed one while I was drinking and speeding
It’s all an excuse to try and nail you! Exert your rights at every opportunity, cause the damned liberals are trying to take them away.
Amazing how the mention of live on Facebook initiated a near immediate change in body language of the officer as he suddenly knew that there was additional accountability he did not control in place.
The 🐔 💩 grin had me 🤣.
