Kinda annoys me when I see people say that kind of crap. But the NSA that people talk about happened after I left. And I was military when I was there. Military personnel had this grilled into us over and over as something called USSID 18. It was a serious no no to record a US citizen unless there were some legal requirements met - like warrants.
Simpler times. Back when small town common sense was utilized and values meant something. It wasn't about conservative vs liberal; it was about right vs wrong. RIP Andy.
@@dustinolvey8877 it really wasn’t, though. It resonated because so many people identified with similar towns IRL and were becoming nostalgic as that America began to fade into urbanization and moral relativism. Btw, my ecumenical “not about conservative vs. liberal” sentiment from over a decade ago was cringey and naïve. The force driving the soul out of humanity has definitely been the progressives. It goes back to the progressive eugenicists of the late 19th century, Marx, Nietzsche, and even Marquis de Sade, but there’s definitely a correlative thread of materialistic fallacy driving human misery.
That time never actually existed, outside fictional pieces of media. The reason it resonates with so many people is because it's the way they WISH things were. That's what fiction is. It's escapism to feel better for a while.
I usually laugh at people who shout "we want our country back!" - thinking of 1960s. But this is one big thing where US was definitely better in the past than now. We will never enjoy these rights again.
R.I.P., Andy Thanks for leaving this reminder. Geez, if only some folks could get as worked up about the rest of the Constitution and Bill of Rights as they do about the 2nd Amendment.
apburner1 And you think they aren't now? Under the present administration even the IRS has become a political weapon. What are you, a kool-aid drinker or did you just ride the short bus?
apburner1 Yes, in all honesty, Hoover was having a field day with the illegal surveillance. but not like the flat out Orwellian shit that's going on today. My heart breaks when I look back at what we were & compare it to the police state we've become.
Being honest. Being good examples to our families. Being a value to our communities. Upholding the founding documents of our nation which put into writing our God given rights. Holding our representatives in governance accountable. Being actively political. Owning guns These are a few acts of a patriot.
I love it! This is what America WAS all about. It's not a Dem -vs- Repub issue, they're both power grabbing like crazy and have been for years now. I love me some Ron Paul.
Much Respect. I was in a similar situation in health-care. I found out something about the relative of a friend that I had to keep confidential, no matter how badly it could have effected him. I almost told him, but when I got the chance I didn't. I'd like to think that the collective wisdom of the ages is greater than my own, and we have such a confidentiality for a reason. IDK what happeed with the relative, but had I told my friend, I still wouldn't know either way.
I like how everyone thinks that this is a presidential issue. It is not, it is a governmental issue. Regardless of who the next president is there will still be wire tapping problems. It is the duty of the people of these united states to press the issue and take back our right to freedom of privacy. The difficult part is convincing millions of Americans that they are responsible for their own security, from terrorist and government.
Times have changed. I remember being in 5th grade and the teacher explaining to us why entrapment by law officials was immoral and at that time (mid-60s) I think, illegal. Not anymore.
Our whole federal government is based on immorality. Look no further than the national debt. We've saddled generations yet unborn with trillions in debt they're going to be responsible for. People are distracted like global warming nonsense when they should be paying attention to real problems.
I grew up watching The Andy Griffith show. It was my dad's favorite show as a kid, and I grew up on the reruns. I can't say I've seen every single color episode, but I've seen every black and white one at least three times. See most of the color ones too. It's funny to me how conservative America thinks that the show was so in tune with Republican values. It could be at times. Plenty of examples as to why they feel that way. Yet if you watch the show and you pay attention to it in detail, there's plenty that would coincide with how liberals and Democrats see the world too. In fact what the show really was and continues to be is not a case for conservatism or a case for liberalism, but a case for what is right. A case for putting aside political affiliation and political allegiance, in order to do what is truly right. The Andy Griffith show wasn't about being conservative or liberal or anything politically. It was about doing the right thing. Being just. I think that's why it resonates with so many people regardless of their backgrounds
Most people think, Great god will come from the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights. jah!
This Country was never founded on anything great that’s why it’s a joke now. I’m an American and all but trust me I’ve learned things about our history that no one has ever learned in school just a bunch of dress ups and cover ups
They can dress Christopher Columbus up like he was some hero even though he was the worst excuse for a human being. The government can try and wash away all of the blood on their hands by hiding things in the history books but yet we can still see the residue. You can’t do wrong and stamp Gods name on it You’ll get revealed every time. This is why other countries laugh at this one because they act like they so good and righteous when they are in fact terrorist like they accuse other countries of being
@@antoniobarnes694 Sounds like your not happy here. Sounds like you wouldn't be happy anywhere though. Maybe you are someone comfortable being unhappy. Try to find the good, it's no skill to denigrate.
I’m happy here and anywhere. But that doesn’t mean I have to like all of the wrong evil doings that created this country. Now tell me this. Do you think it’s right to kill and capture innocent people for self gain and to steal from them. Do you think it’s right for them to enslave another race of people and steal their creations to help build this country? Yes or no?
All of a sudden, I recall a similar thing occurring some time later in the "Bored She Hanged Herself" episode from *Hawaii Five-O*, which was redacted from the series after a youngster copied the action(s)he saw in said epi and ended up dying because of it. Some time ago, that full episode was here in TH-cam, and the psychologist(dad of the young lady who died in the story) shared a tape recording he made of the boyfriend's conversation with him(he never cared for him, BTW) with Five-O head Steve McGarrett; after they listened, McGarrett said something to this effect, "No, this isn't admissible. We need proof that can actually go to court for review; a judge, after hearing this, would turn us away."
I sure like Andy Griffith. If I was in Opie's place, and my dad was in Andy's place, my dad would begin screaming at my from the top of his lungs, he wouldn't even let me say: "But pa" like how Opie was saying in this video. My dad would take away the tape-recorder, take the tape out, and brake it. He would say things like: I told you plenty of times to mind your own f***ing business!!! I wish my dad was like Andy :(
Yeah, a kid thinks like a kid where a softer approach can do wonders with a kid that will listen. Now braking the tape, well, disposing of evidence might be smart.
Vitajex! Whatcha doin' to me? You fill me with a-BOOM! and ecstasy! I discovered Andy Griffith first with his astonishing debut in A FACE IN THE CROWD. I have to pinch myself to believe this Andy is the same actor.
Now any and EVERY law enforcement agent will look for a way AROUND the law to suit the desired outcome. How could they use Opie's tape? They can't. However, once it's transcribed the transcription's admissible in court. Dirty pool I say.
Hearing the news that Andy passed away made me really sad.I couldn't eat and sleep but ,what comforts me is the fact that we are all destined to meet our Creator someday and Andy is very much lucky to meet Him already.Andy had no idea how he affected the course of my life(for that I'm forever thankful to him)and that his number one fan is on the other side of the world.Andy guide us all whom you had left on our life's journey here on earth.Bye Papa. xpol-polx
Don't let the facts get in the way of protecting public safety. When this once great show went to color, Andy Griffiths true colors came out. He was a true lefty. That wont ever stop me from loving the black and white episodes.
This video is great and underscores the cultural change and acceptance of a surveillance state. But don't think for a second all police officers were like this back then! Cops back in the 60's used to routinely arrest and assault blacks and minorities for racist reasons. They hosed down protesters at civil rights movements etc.. So as much as I agree that we've regressed in freedom and I pine for the days of Mayberry, remember that we've also made other big steps forward that are good.
I also find it insulting that politicians chose the name "Patriot Act" for those laws. There is nothing patriotic about systematic dismantling of the Constitution and democratic values of freedom and liberty. If anything, that law should be called something like "Freedom Loss Act" or "Anti-Privacy Act"
I've watched this at least 100x (not really). It's like a dream, like the America you learn about in school then find out is like the Easter Bunny and doesn't exist. Can I please live where/whenever this is.
This is the world I grew up in. I'd hate to be a kid today growing up with all eyes and cameras on you watching your every move. The patriot act is anything but patriotic.
It's also called ethics. What said between a doctor/lawyer and their client is strictly a private matter. Such evidence gotten in such a way would be thrown out as inadmissible and may end up causing the whole case to be thrown out as well.
I was not born inthe 60's butthe 80's.I'm fromthePhilippines.Idiscovered The AndyGriffith Show fromTH-cam.When my father died,who’s so close to me, lcould hardly accept it that I want to commit suicide,butonetime,as Iwatch The AndyGriffithShow,Isee myself in Opie and my father in Andy,Andy has some strong resemblance to my father.Ihad some flashbacksof mychildhood watching thosefatherandsonscenes.Those happymemorieswith myfather,watching the show ,made me decide not to take my own life anymore.
Their are people like that, but their absolute refusal to do anything corrupt prevents them from getting in power and the majority of the American people are too interested in drama and politics to see these honest people who refuse to be broken by corruption.
Send this to every president, every vice president, every cabinet member, every senator, every house representative, every legistalor, every governor, every lieutenant governor, every mayor, every council member, every police officer, every FBI/CIA/NSA agent, and every and anyone working in government, (hell send it to the taxpaying voters while you're at it) and I guarantee you MOST of them won't watch it.
I've overheard a couple in an Atlanta wondering what the "big deal" about Mark Felt being the key Watergate informant "Deep Throat", after seeing the story on television when it broke in 2005. We need better publicity in support of our activists.
I'm not from the USA, so I don't quite understand. Andy said eavesdropping is against the law. So if I overheard 2 people plotting a murder, I couldn't go to the police ?
Andy Griffith had it right a long time ago. The entire U.S. justice system today can really use a lesson.
"The law can't use THIS kind of help"
A very powerful and erudite statement.
Yep, it's a pity they never applied it.
how
Even the Roman Catholic Church similarly recognises the _seal of the confessional!_
@@Perririri They do that to keep themselves out of trouble
Opie is the NSA, Andy is sanity.
And sanity is sadly dead.

Wow! A man ahead of his time.Andy for President!
An important civics lesson brought to you by The Andy Griffith Show.
I remember this episode. Never thought about it concerning the patriot act until now.
Still an excellent & educational segment; thanks!

Not any more Andy...

Great teaching scene

Obviously of course this varied GREATLY depending on which small town/county and who happened to be in charge.
