Used elsewhere- Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, United States Solicitor General, United States Attorney General, and Chief United States Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials; Justice Jackson: "Any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect, in no uncertain terms, to make no statement to the police under any circumstances". Who you gonna believe?
The real jewel here is his statement at the end, that you DO NOT have to cooperate with their investigation. Cops will say it is interfering with their investigation, to do so. It isn't. Interfering is a criminal act, not cooperating is utterly legal to do. It is why the right to remain silent exists in our American Constitution, so that you CAN refuse to cooperate and save yourself from malicious prosecution.
Members of law enforcement need to stop interpreting a citizen asserting his rights as a personal attack against the officer. The police are not our friends. Even the nicest cops can use your mistakes against you.
Absolutely....what they don't take into account is...traffic stops are at a very high percentage....road piracy and nothing else....I have gotten about 7 traffic tickets in my life....I was guilty of the infraction twice....one of those I didn't even pay the fine because it was dismissed when the cop didn't show.....5 of the 7 were completely make up BS....but in the day before cameras...and the your word against the cops...I paid all 5 of those tickets.
@@Andrewflusche my brother lived in a small town for a few years. He worked in the town’s government building doing maintenance and whatnot. He would regularly play cards and hang out with the sheriff at his house for poker night and sports events. This turned in its head completely once a criminal rolled into town and hurt somebody. My brother became a suspect. He cooperated, as he was innocent and they were buddies. He tried to tell them it was BS and they should know better, but every bit of that “friendship” was immediately nuked from orbit. They eventually caught the guy, but that betrayal really took a toll on my brother. I don’t blame him. In a way, I have to blame the system and no the cops, as they have a job to do, but it seems it could’ve been handled better. I can imagine this even happens to cops once the state zeroes in on somebody.
@@platty9237 to be fair, the cops shouldn’t be giving anyone priority just because they’re friends anyway. While I feel bad for your brother and maybe they could have handled it better, ultimately their decision to prioritize catching a criminal over personal connections was the right one.
This reminds me of a case in Michigan. A guy got pulled over for a traffic stop. The cop asked if he could search the car and the driver said no. The cops held him for no reason other than saying no to the search and waited for the dog. The then found enough drugs to launch Detroit into orbit and he was convicted. After appeals it was deemed an illegal search, the conviction was tossed, and he sued the depart for a large settlement.
guy in ND was driving on the I-94 2 mph below the speed limit with both hands on the wheel. Cop thought that was suspicious so he pull them over. They found 500 lbs of weed in the car and the judge threw out the case because cops had no probably cause for the traffic stop. Happened January 2018.
It's frankly disturbing that this is the kind of person who often gets to decide people's fate at the side of the road. Sure, you can fight it in court, but at that point it's already a de facto punishment. And they know that and abuse it daily. Don't listen to cops. Don't talk to cops. Don't volunteer anything to cops. Maybe someday we'll have a good-faith police culture where they're honorably trying to protect the public, but what we have now is a long way from that, and you must protect yourself against it.

Never tell a cop that has you detained " take your time, I have all day". You want your Attorney to be able to argue the detention was more than a slight inconvenience. Love ya Andrew!!
I believe consent should never be given for a search or seizure (investigatory detention). There is no downside to refusal whether guilty or innocent. You can't guarantee a friend didn't accidentally lose a pill that he legally possessed, but if it rolled under the seat unbeknownst to driver or passenger then the driver is busted.
Rich Rich, the cop knows the law and knows he can legally lie to you, which is what he is doing. Seriously, people need to stop thinking the police are idiots and start thinking that their behavior is CALCULATED, and INTENTIONAL. They know exactly what they are doing.

@@pak3ton Stupid saying. In my country many soldiers go to college after their service, or have already graduated college. Others attend while serving.
cops brought a dog to my car once, I informed the police that I train police dogs. when I saw the cop give the exact same command that I train into animals to do a false positive reaction. when I went to court to fight the charges there was no mention of a dog in the discovery, the prosecutor and the judge never mentioned it either.
@@bucknaked31 in order to train a dog to give a positive positive you have to teach the dog how to signal you that there is a positive positive. in order to do that you have to first teach the dog how and what to react to. this essentially teaches a dog a false positive. the false positive, to the trainer, is simply a function of training the dog. police have taken that false positive, necessary as a part of the training, and used it to arrest people illegally
I dont think dogs should even be allowed to accuse someone. They cant be held accountable or be a witness against their partners who make them hit illegally.
Well, they could if the entire interaction was recorded and the defense could scrutinize it (especially a record of false positives the dog gave out). To me, it's another factor in probable cause and not the smoking gun law enforcement makes it out to be.
Technically, if I recall, dogs hitting on something is not admissable, at least not for a "scent lineup". They can only be used for "probable cause". but they are, in the end, dogs. They also get treats to learn how to signal or alert to something. As that they are dogs and cannot be questioned on what they areactually hitting on, they cannot be 100% used as guilt of something. Did the dog hit on pot, or because the person who owned the car had a cheeseburger and fries leak juices and grease into the seat? Or did the officer make a gesture, either deliberately or inadvertantly, that would lead the dog to think if it did the "alert" that it would get a treat?
Not to mention that all dogs are trained to act a certain way on a signal from its handler. The data shows that there is a 50% chance that the dog is right. Let that sink in. The courts determined that is perfectly lawful for the police to break your rights on the equivalent of a coin toss.
By no means am I a lawyer but I've seen countless incidences where police act as though they think that THEY have a law degree. Even to the point where they'll make up laws on the spot. If you go prepared with a small stack of statutes in your car in case you need to reference them they'll argue with you and try to convince you the law is different than what you have printed directly from the government websites and bills.
Correct. Even if you are 100% correct, you aren’t going to win against the cop on the side of the road. That’s why it’s important when pulled over to only hand over your license & registration and then plead the 5th to and/all further questions. Also, get a dash cam
Yeah it's sad. I used to carry the statutes for motorized bicycles, and even when you showed them the code they said "yeah but I think you also need...", No, it specifically says it's treated like a bicycle, does a bicycle need that? No? Ok, because it repeats it specifically for what you're saying like 2 lines below that. Then oh you think it needs a full on motorcycle license, well it doesn't, it's treated like a bicycle (plus most people riding actual motorcycles don't have a valid motorcycle license anyways), but I show them a valid actual motorcycle license and reiterate doesn't matter anyways. It's like they think they can wave their hands and be Congress AND the Senate AND the executive branches all as one person (and without being elected or mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution I might add). No you can't just make up laws, and even those made up ones I'd be fulfilling anyways, now go fish somewhere else and READ the LAWS!
Great. Keep calling them out. This is a a great example of a cop who either: is incompetent in listening/comprehension skills - which in turn probably feeds into the show case of misunderstanding or purposely misunderstanding the laws they enforce.
Interacting with a cop is like interacting with your drill sergeant. Yes sir, no sir and may I have another? Say NOTHING! (Unless you really want another)? Then get an arrogant asshole attorney to fight for you in court.
I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do that as long as nobody you're advising would think you're a lawyer. It's not "giving legal advice" as much as it is "pretending to be a lawyer."
Thank you so much Mr. Flusche for this and all your other videos, they have taught me so much. I love your presentation style, your acting as lawyer, defendant, and cop...everything. You provide such a valuable service.
Another great one by Andrew. Over the last few years I have watched a LOT of police interaction videos and have come to the conclusion that while there might be some good cops out there many police departments do NOT adequately train their officers is constitutional law. I have seen a ton a videos where cops routinely violate people's constitutional rights. Sometimes it is just the officer being a jerk, but MANY times it is evidence of the officer being ignorant of constitutional law. IMO police department deserve the large legal suits waged against them when they neglect to train their officers.
You're a lawyer and you've offered your friendship to your viewers, so you've mentioned before that people can say, "My lawyer friend (you) advised me to not talk to the police." or "My lawyer friend advised me to not answer any police questions." This is better than just, "Don't talk to the police." because it implicitly shifts the "being uncooperative" blame to the "lawyer friend" instead of the suspect, which can help keep the engagement polite.
I see how the Rodríguez ruling could also affect inland, and border, immigration checkpoints. The purpose of these checkpoints is to determine the immigration status of the people in the vehicle (don’t get me started on the Constitutionality of that!). To delay them further in order to get a dog (which has been proven to be of questionable reliability, don’t get me started on that either!) is in direct violation of the SCOTUS ruling in Rodríguez.
The officer plainly stated they've got tricks up their sleeve. If following the laws & constitution they are payed to protect. Why do they require tricks?
there was also a case where the dog sticking its head in the car was a violation of search and seizure even though the cops argued "it was a natural dog thing". A cop telling you to not listen to advice from defense attorneys on how to deal with cops is akin to the fox telling the chickens that he's entitled to be in the henhouse.
I was on a cross country bus ride back in 1999. We stopped in Birmingham for a transfer. A cop w a dog came into the bus to inform us we would all be subjected to the dog checking us all as we exited the bus. To be completely honest, I had a small amount of Marijuana on me as well as a pipe. I also have a lot of experience working w aggressive dogs (doesnt pay well financially). As we exited the buss the dog sniffed us out. I passed the dog, but it started barking at the person behind me. That person was detained/searched and released. I love dogs. They have a great sense of smell, but as predators their dense of prey provokes a stronger response. How was this legal in the first place. We were on a greyhound bus, and the cops subjected everyone on the bus to a dog smell test. They didn't search the luggage compartment, so it's hard for me to believe they were looking for any significant amount of drugs. It seems like they just mess w people and every once in a while they accidentally mess w someone who has power, or, nowadays get caught abusing their authority on a phone camera. Where's the probable cause to subject a busload of people (some who are no doubt terrified of a police trained German shepherd)? They didn't show a warrant. I literally had pot and a pipe in my underwear, thats why i took the bus instead of driving, but the dog didn't go on alert when smelling me. It just seems like cops have been getting away w this kinda stuff for so long they don't even care what the laws are.
As an attorney I would love to have that cop in my jurisdiction. "Your honor it is clear he has no idea what he is doing and violates Rodriguez because *plays tape*".
Hey Andrew, could you do a "what if" video for CDL holders? it seems like a different rulebook for enforcement officers and they can throw the book at you a lot easier than driving a personal vehicle. your content is great and keeps me on my toes :)
Mate if you get pulled over with a CDL then you better pray you aren't in a semi and that the officer in question isn't a DOT hound. DOT officers are a particularly insidious kind of asshole because if they can infer that there is a single problem with that load even so much as an overly rusted bolt on trailer door then they can shut you down for a complete inspection. Bottom line is DOT is a professional driver's worst nightmare personified
Been trucking for 20 years. I'd love to see an in depth guide on what "rights" we really relinquish with a commercial license and what rights we maintain. Where you coming from and where are you going is standard practice to be asked which in my understanding is required to be answered under commercial laws. Exactly why a video would be amazing
Actually, since the police possess guns, badges, and the presumption of innocence, they CAN do just about anything they want. It's up to us, the non-LEOs, to remember to stay calm, keep quiet, and expect to seek our recourse in the courts. Thank you, Andrew, for your vigilance and helpful vidoes!
This “instructor” is Dennis Benigno a former overly aggressive cop. His use of force incidents were 5 times higher than the Woodbridge PD and New Jersey statewide averages. He is the founder of Street Cop Training. He left policing after only 3 years, in 2015, months before the township settled a $70,000 false arrest lawsuit with three women who were arrested after he leaped onto the hood of their car, pointed a gun at the driver and threatened to shoot her. He took action based on his unsubstantiated hunch they had shoplifted at the mall.
My school didn’t have pre law, I have a crim minor and took all the rando law classes offered, I will always side with what I learned from an attorney’s point of view. “Magic phrases” as you call them are how our legal system works. Attorneys are the ones who know the magic! You can be polite and still uphold your rights.
I would ask the police officer 1 question, after hearing his diatribe: "Officer, if you were to be detained at the side of the road, and flashing your badge at the detaining officer didn't get you immediately released, would YOU actually follow your own advice, about 'being cooperative with the detaining officer', or would you 'take your chances with shutting your piehole'?!?!"
Like you said in one of your other videos, "Just keep your mouth shut." The only thing you have to do, when contacted by police for a traffic violation, is to give them your drivers license, insurance, and registration. You to not have to say anything at all.
Why is exercising your rights being considered "uncooperative?" Why can't you cooperate whilst keeping your mouth shut and not assisting them with their investigation? I don't like being told I'm uncooperative because I am not in the mood for chit chat.
This is pushed on both crime drama such as CSI and Law and Order and on true crime. If you say you refuse to talk to police without a lawyer, consent to cops running around your house without a warrant, don't agree to a polygraph, or don't consent to having swabs stuck in your mouth, you are considered "not cooperating" or you are "being suspicious". There are people in jail because they said they were someplace at 10PM and a receipt or cctv camera says 10:30 PM or 9:45 PM. The time stamps could be 100% wrong. Machine time stamps are subject to what they are programmed for-so if you live in Virginia but the camera's storage computer is located in Dallas, the time may go by Dallas time. Do the cops know this? No. But they do know you said something about being someplace at 10:00 PM and there is a camera or receipt showing a different time. And polygraphs are medical quackery that they can use to get you to talk to them and they can use that to help them decide if you are guilty. Do you know if you have a medical or mental illness issue that can cause weird readings on polygraphs? Do you know but don't want to disclose your entire medical history to a bunch of police officers? Don't talk to cops or consent to them getting anything without a lawyer to advise you.
Is like when they put you in the ground and start hitting you while yelling "Stop resisting". Is so that they can give you a beat down without suffering any consequences for their crime.
Should save a copy of his video for when he inevitably ends up in court for a bad search. He can explain these "tricks" and the contempt-of-cop act to the jury.
One topic for a video you may want to consider is whether store or mall employees can prevent you from leaving a store during a "lockdown." The same would apply to police who are in a mall during "lockdown." A large mall in Northern Virginia just went into "lockdown" when a lighting fixture fell and exploded. Can I, a customer, be detained against my will by either the mall staff or police? Or may I exit the mall without interference?
Hi Andrew! Here's how I deal with the "Can I search your car" question. It works every time. Cop: Do you mind if I search your car? (They often phrase it this way to try and confuse you.) Me: (Politely) Yes, I mind. I don't consent to that. Cop Why not? (insinuating I have something to hide) Me: (in a light, joking tone of voice) Because I'm a slob in my car and I don't want to spend 20 minutes picking up all my crap by the side of the road. That would be embarrassing! Cop: chuckles and moves on. Ta da! It's all about the attitude. Make it about you and your slovenliness, not about them and their request. ;-)
A roadside stop isn't the place to chat with the cops. Just say "no, I do not consent to a search." What's a good place to chat with the cops? Trick question. There isn't a good place.
@@Andrewflusche Ah yes, good point. And usually, I'm a bit more brief in front of a cop. LOL It depends on how they ask/what their mood seems to be like. My goal is to lighten the mood and make them chuckle instead of getting all antsy about my refusal. So far, it's worked. Fortunately, I haven't had to do it often, but if it comes up again, I'll remember to be more brief. BTW, thank you, Andrew, for all the good work you do. I love your channel! And thanks so much for responding to my comment!
@@Falconlibrary Oh, I'm aware of that. But as mama said, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. If you lighten the mood, remember that they're still people even if they're assholes, and stay respectful, this approach usually works. I've de-esculated situations this way for myself and others. Believe it or not, most cops actually respond well to being spoken to politely. Most of the time, it's all about the energy you put out. If you give them attitude right off the bat, you've just set the tone for a bad encounter.
@@Andrewflusche One more thing- my "routine" when getting pulled over (fortunately, this doesn't happen often): Pull over immediately. Put hands on top of steering wheel, palms open and fingers showing. Don't move until they approach. When they arrive at your window, smile politely, and show them you are rolling down the window and nothing else. Contritely say, "Okay, what did I do?" to the officer. Usually, they'll lighten up a bit, and often they chuckle.
I've got a neat trick. "I choose to remain silent, and would like to summon my attorney". It kills me how people are stupid enough to talk to the police.
What are you going to do if they hold you for 2 hours waiting for the dog.. answer.. Nothing. maybe sue later. But good luck with the good ole boy judges.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been watching your content for a long, long time. This is the absolute best video you’ve made. I’ll be sharing this with friends and family that think I am paranoid when I tell them “Don’t talk to the Police!” Anyway, thank you for creating content that helps people know their rights.
I've been a cop for 20 years, and I love this channel. Never thought of you as bashing the police. And truth be told, all the advice you give on here, we (cops) also give to our friends and family and loved ones. Keep up the good work. Good cops swore an oath to defend and protect the Constution and civil rights, and we will always keep that oath.
The question is why are they out to get our own citizens in a victimless crime? Policing equals money for the city and state. Welcome to America, home of the police state!
Let's think for a moment - If I wanted legal advice , should I ask a lawyer or a cop ? There is a difference between " cooperation " and " compliance ". One can cooperate while being peacefully non compliant. Don't talk with police except to outline your non consent to consensual conversation and non consent to search.
Thank you for making videos like these! It's insane that government minions that we pay for, go out of their way to lie to us like this. If we had a truly free country these cops wouldn't exist.
if you consent to a search and then revoke the consent, they have to stop the search and can't get back into the vehicle without a warrant unless they found something in the short time they had consent
4:49 It's difficult to get people to acknowledge this fact. Most Americans, public servant and private citizen alike will argue this ad infinitum. We need more references to this by credible attorneys. I'd like to request a video, from your perspective, devoted to this topic.
Andrew, love your videos. Could you please make a video explaining this topic? If i am in a parking lot, such as Lowes, Home Depot, Shoprite, etc., can the police give me a ticket for not stopping at one of their “stop signs”? These parking lots are usually private property, owned by the store.
Everyone just carry a sign that says," I took a vow of silence, therefore I am unable to answer your questions. Please refrain from touching me as it is part of my religion." Hand him your stuff, if ur a driver pulled over, or just turn 90⁰ away from the cop. If they continue
There was a case where a detainee subject of a motor vehicle violation was held over one hour waiting on a K9. I believe it was either the eighth circuit or Arkansas state appeals court on a case where a dog had to be brought in from a distant city (Texarkana?) The delay was held not to be a violation. I think a ten minute rule is long enough but obviously prefer no delay in release from involuntary detention once the investigation of the original traffic violation was over, as in not even a one second detention longer than reasonably necessary to investigate and write a traffic ticket.
I had a local smoky follow me several blocks into town from the highway and pull me over 1 block away from my home. He told me I had failed to signal my turn within 100ft (having turned onto the highway from a parking lot less than 100ft before the next turn) yet he waited that long to stop me. He asked a bunch of questions and commented on where I worked (I was in company uniform heading home... he'd worked there for a day or two and quit cuz he couldn't handle a physical job back before he became a cop). He eventually asked to search my vehicle and I refused. "No sir, you may not." I replied and then he told me he was going to call the dogs in and that if they alerted on any of the doors, they were going to search my vehicle. I didn't know what to do about any of that. Shortly the k-9 unit rolled up and the dog started "alerting" on their own vehicles, the fire hydrant, a spot in the grass, every single door of my vehicle... it was CRINGE. This dog was just trained to make that motion at anything so they could have a reason to search. I had nothing to hide. That officer went through everything in my vehicle, left everything strewn about and all over the floor/seats/console/dash. And this was at night, mind you. ALL of my neighbors came out to see what was going on, there were rumors ranging from me being in a wreck to my home being raided by swat. Absurd. Small town police are the worst, too. Everyone knows that guy is a shithead hack that only wanted to drive around writing tickets. In the end he found nothing. Because there was nothing. I did not want him doing EXACTLY what he ended up doing: Making a damned mess and leaving me to clean it up. I have nothing but respect for LAW ENFORCEMENT that respond to potentially dangerous situations and genuinely protect and serve. I have NO (0%) respect for "revenue generators" that just make questionable traffic stops all day and every day, abusing the law to hit their quotas.
I have heard that if the police simply ask , "Hi , 👋 how are you doin today"❓👮Or, "Sure is a hot one today , right"❓. These are two examples of your complying to questioning (interrogation) . Am I correct on this ?
I don't use TikTok, and I just get timeouts when connecting to the guy's website. Who is this advice giver and where does he, uh, "serve the public"? This looks like a great video to acquire and have handy, just in case.

@@Andrewflusche my brother lived in a small town for a few years. He worked in the town’s government building doing maintenance and whatnot. He would regularly play cards and hang out with the sheriff at his house for poker night and sports events. This turned in its head completely once a criminal rolled into town and hurt somebody. My brother became a suspect. He cooperated, as he was innocent and they were buddies. He tried to tell them it was BS and they should know better, but every bit of that “friendship” was immediately nuked from orbit.
They eventually caught the guy, but that betrayal really took a toll on my brother. I don’t blame him. In a way, I have to blame the system and no the cops, as they have a job to do, but it seems it could’ve been handled better. I can imagine this even happens to cops once the state zeroes in on somebody.
@@platty9237 to be fair, the cops shouldn’t be giving anyone priority just because they’re friends anyway. While I feel bad for your brother and maybe they could have handled it better, ultimately their decision to prioritize catching a criminal over personal connections was the right one.
This reminds me of a case in Michigan. A guy got pulled over for a traffic stop. The cop asked if he could search the car and the driver said no. The cops held him for no reason other than saying no to the search and waited for the dog. The then found enough drugs to launch Detroit into orbit and he was convicted. After appeals it was deemed an illegal search, the conviction was tossed, and he sued the depart for a large settlement.
Now that's Justice
God what a terrible experience! Glad they were made whole
guy in ND was driving on the I-94 2 mph below the speed limit with both hands on the wheel. Cop thought that was suspicious so he pull them over. They found 500 lbs of weed in the car and the judge threw out the case because cops had no probably cause for the traffic stop. Happened January 2018.
It's frankly disturbing that this is the kind of person who often gets to decide people's fate at the side of the road.
Sure, you can fight it in court, but at that point it's already a de facto punishment. And they know that and abuse it daily.
Don't listen to cops. Don't talk to cops. Don't volunteer anything to cops. Maybe someday we'll have a good-faith police culture where they're honorably trying to protect the public, but what we have now is a long way from that, and you must protect yourself against it.
Remember: the job of a cop isn't to protect you or defend you, it's to arrest you and anyone who breaks the law.
@@hannibalbarca1147 ...to arrest anyone they/jurisdiction targets to be taught a lesson/taken into custody/interrogated. FTFY. Cops mission plan just like any other military organization. They get target packages and execute the mission.
@@hannibalbarca1147 And anyone he or she _thinks_ might be breaking the law. And anyone who doesn't exhibit the requisite amount of submissiveness and kowtowing to the cop's "authoritah".
@@Milesco Yes! Your last sentence, especially, is on the money! Cops get so butt hurt if you don't kiss their ass and act like a cowering dog while at the same time speaking to us like we're beneath them to exert their "authority."
Maybe if everyone does that and the cops get tired of look like fools in court things might change. Insurance companies are raising rates on police departments that have tons of expensive settlements. Maybe it's time for these companies to cancel the worst PD customers as being too expensive to insure.
This is what happens when people get education from TikTok, thanks Andrew for addressing this!
Never tell a cop that has you detained " take your time, I have all day". You want your Attorney to be able to argue the detention was more than a slight inconvenience.
Love ya Andrew!!
I believe consent should never be given for a search or seizure (investigatory detention). There is no downside to refusal whether guilty or innocent. You can't guarantee a friend didn't accidentally lose a pill that he legally possessed, but if it rolled under the seat unbeknownst to driver or passenger then the driver is busted.
"Don't be a jerk, but you don't have to cooperate." - Andrew Flusche
If knew the law and was smart enough to pass the bar he would most likely choose to be a lawyer. He’s a cop for a reason.
Rich Rich, the cop knows the law and knows he can legally lie to you, which is what he is doing. Seriously, people need to stop thinking the police are idiots and start thinking that their behavior is CALCULATED, and INTENTIONAL. They know exactly what they are doing.
@@TEverettReynolds Except police ARE idiots. They're just malicious idiots who don't have to know what they're doing, they can simply be evil and will be backed up by the legal system.
in our country we say: " if you arent good enough for college, you can always be a cop ( or soldier.. its basically the same) "
@@TEverettReynolds where is the law that say cops can lie? i want to read it by myself but im not goin to read the whle constitution just to find out xd
so can you please quete it.
@@pak3ton Stupid saying. In my country many soldiers go to college after their service, or have already graduated college. Others attend while serving.
cops brought a dog to my car once, I informed the police that I train police dogs. when I saw the cop give the exact same command that I train into animals to do a false positive reaction. when I went to court to fight the charges there was no mention of a dog in the discovery, the prosecutor and the judge never mentioned it either.
Why on earth would a dog be trained to perform a false positive?
@@bucknaked31 to give cops the probable cause necessary to search your vehicle without your consent
@@bucknaked31 in order to train a dog to give a positive positive you have to teach the dog how to signal you that there is a positive positive. in order to do that you have to first teach the dog how and what to react to. this essentially teaches a dog a false positive. the false positive, to the trainer, is simply a function of training the dog. police have taken that false positive, necessary as a part of the training, and used it to arrest people illegally
I dont think dogs should even be allowed to accuse someone. They cant be held accountable or be a witness against their partners who make them hit illegally.
Well, they could if the entire interaction was recorded and the defense could scrutinize it (especially a record of false positives the dog gave out).
To me, it's another factor in probable cause and not the smoking gun law enforcement makes it out to be.
Technically, if I recall, dogs hitting on something is not admissable, at least not for a "scent lineup". They can only be used for "probable cause". but they are, in the end, dogs. They also get treats to learn how to signal or alert to something. As that they are dogs and cannot be questioned on what they areactually hitting on, they cannot be 100% used as guilt of something. Did the dog hit on pot, or because the person who owned the car had a cheeseburger and fries leak juices and grease into the seat? Or did the officer make a gesture, either deliberately or inadvertantly, that would lead the dog to think if it did the "alert" that it would get a treat?
Not to mention that all dogs are trained to act a certain way on a signal from its handler.
The data shows that there is a 50% chance that the dog is right. Let that sink in. The courts determined that is perfectly lawful for the police to break your rights on the equivalent of a coin toss.
By no means am I a lawyer but I've seen countless incidences where police act as though they think that THEY have a law degree. Even to the point where they'll make up laws on the spot.
If you go prepared with a small stack of statutes in your car in case you need to reference them they'll argue with you and try to convince you the law is different than what you have printed directly from the government websites and bills.
Correct. Even if you are 100% correct, you aren’t going to win against the cop on the side of the road. That’s why it’s important when pulled over to only hand over your license & registration and then plead the 5th to and/all further questions.
Also, get a dash cam
Yeah it's sad. I used to carry the statutes for motorized bicycles, and even when you showed them the code they said "yeah but I think you also need...", No, it specifically says it's treated like a bicycle, does a bicycle need that? No? Ok, because it repeats it specifically for what you're saying like 2 lines below that. Then oh you think it needs a full on motorcycle license, well it doesn't, it's treated like a bicycle (plus most people riding actual motorcycles don't have a valid motorcycle license anyways), but I show them a valid actual motorcycle license and reiterate doesn't matter anyways. It's like they think they can wave their hands and be Congress AND the Senate AND the executive branches all as one person (and without being elected or mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution I might add). No you can't just make up laws, and even those made up ones I'd be fulfilling anyways, now go fish somewhere else and READ the LAWS!
"just cooperate and we'll be nice" says the guy with the gun and the fragile ego and the license to ruin your day just because he feels like it
Yeah officer, you can trust the salesman at a car dealership too.
But that undercoat and pinstriping are important!
Thank you, Andrew. You are a national civil rights treasure . I mean that sincerely. 👍🏻
As a former cop, and more specifically a K-9 handler and in-service trainer, I really want to smack this other “trainer”.
Yeah, I'll bet you were a "good cop" who stopped "bad cops" when you were part of the Blue Lives Matter tribe, right?
Great. Keep calling them out. This is a a great example of a cop who either: is incompetent in listening/comprehension skills - which in turn probably feeds into the show case of misunderstanding or purposely misunderstanding the laws they enforce.
Either way that guy probably shouldn't be a cop.
Interacting with a cop is like interacting with your drill sergeant. Yes sir, no sir and may I have another? Say NOTHING! (Unless you really want another)?
Then get an arrogant asshole attorney to fight for you in court.
I'll take the advice of a lawyer over a cop any day.
How do you know a pig is lying? His lips are moving.
asking a cop for legal advise is like asking a car mechanic on traffic laws...
Another cop that the only "laws" he knows are 1- "do what i say or go to jail" and 2- "We had a call"
How many states are you licensed to practice in? Because if I'm ever in need, I'd love to have a lawyer like you. Thanks for the great videos!
This Tik-Tok cop seems like a real hot head. You can see it in his demeanor, and mannerisms that he's itching for a beat down.
Agree!
Wow, this cop is a real piece of work. Don't talk to cops. EVER.
Is t he giving legal advice without being a lawyer? I didn’t hear him include that caveat.
I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do that as long as nobody you're advising would think you're a lawyer. It's not "giving legal advice" as much as it is "pretending to be a lawyer."
Thank you so much Mr. Flusche for this and all your other videos, they have taught me so much. I love your presentation style, your acting as lawyer, defendant, and cop...everything. You provide such a valuable service.
You're welcome, and thank you!!!!
Another great one by Andrew. Over the last few years I have watched a LOT of police interaction videos and have come to the conclusion that while there might be some good cops out there many police departments do NOT adequately train their officers is constitutional law. I have seen a ton a videos where cops routinely violate people's constitutional rights. Sometimes it is just the officer being a jerk, but MANY times it is evidence of the officer being ignorant of constitutional law. IMO police department deserve the large legal suits waged against them when they neglect to train their officers.
It’s not training. It’s intentional.
You're a lawyer and you've offered your friendship to your viewers, so you've mentioned before that people can say, "My lawyer friend (you) advised me to not talk to the police." or "My lawyer friend advised me to not answer any police questions." This is better than just, "Don't talk to the police." because it implicitly shifts the "being uncooperative" blame to the "lawyer friend" instead of the suspect, which can help keep the engagement polite.
I see how the Rodríguez ruling could also affect inland, and border, immigration checkpoints. The purpose of these checkpoints is to determine the immigration status of the people in the vehicle (don’t get me started on the Constitutionality of that!). To delay them further in order to get a dog (which has been proven to be of questionable reliability, don’t get me started on that either!) is in direct violation of the SCOTUS ruling in Rodríguez.
The officer plainly stated they've got tricks up their sleeve. If following the laws & constitution they are payed to protect. Why do they require tricks?
Their cult following love cops, and to those people, nothing any cop could and would do is out of order when "getting the bad guys".
“Don’t talk to the police.”
But what if a Police officer on TikTok says it’s a good idea????
That cop is a lying turd and should be exposed as such.
there was also a case where the dog sticking its head in the car was a violation of search and seizure even though the cops argued "it was a natural dog thing".
A cop telling you to not listen to advice from defense attorneys on how to deal with cops is akin to the fox telling the chickens that he's entitled to be in the henhouse.
Remember cops are allowed to lie to you.
I was on a cross country bus ride back in 1999. We stopped in Birmingham for a transfer. A cop w a dog came into the bus to inform us we would all be subjected to the dog checking us all as we exited the bus. To be completely honest, I had a small amount of Marijuana on me as well as a pipe. I also have a lot of experience working w aggressive dogs (doesnt pay well financially). As we exited the buss the dog sniffed us out. I passed the dog, but it started barking at the person behind me. That person was detained/searched and released. I love dogs. They have a great sense of smell, but as predators their dense of prey provokes a stronger response. How was this legal in the first place. We were on a greyhound bus, and the cops subjected everyone on the bus to a dog smell test. They didn't search the luggage compartment, so it's hard for me to believe they were looking for any significant amount of drugs. It seems like they just mess w people and every once in a while they accidentally mess w someone who has power, or, nowadays get caught abusing their authority on a phone camera. Where's the probable cause to subject a busload of people (some who are no doubt terrified of a police trained German shepherd)? They didn't show a warrant. I literally had pot and a pipe in my underwear, thats why i took the bus instead of driving, but the dog didn't go on alert when smelling me. It just seems like cops have been getting away w this kinda stuff for so long they don't even care what the laws are.
As an attorney I would love to have that cop in my jurisdiction. "Your honor it is clear he has no idea what he is doing and violates Rodriguez because *plays tape*".
When I was a teen, a cop pulled me over and said we would have to "wait all night" for a dog.
Hey Andrew, could you do a "what if" video for CDL holders? it seems like a different rulebook for enforcement officers and they can throw the book at you a lot easier than driving a personal vehicle.
your content is great and keeps me on my toes :)
Mate if you get pulled over with a CDL then you better pray you aren't in a semi and that the officer in question isn't a DOT hound. DOT officers are a particularly insidious kind of asshole because if they can infer that there is a single problem with that load even so much as an overly rusted bolt on trailer door then they can shut you down for a complete inspection. Bottom line is DOT is a professional driver's worst nightmare personified
Been trucking for 20 years. I'd love to see an in depth guide on what "rights" we really relinquish with a commercial license and what rights we maintain. Where you coming from and where are you going is standard practice to be asked which in my understanding is required to be answered under commercial laws. Exactly why a video would be amazing
I'm a dog trainer, and most cops signal the dog for a false alert. Giving them probable cause.
Actually, since the police possess guns, badges, and the presumption of innocence, they CAN do just about anything they want. It's up to us, the non-LEOs, to remember to stay calm, keep quiet, and expect to seek our recourse in the courts. Thank you, Andrew, for your vigilance and helpful vidoes!
This “instructor” is Dennis Benigno a former overly aggressive cop. His use of force incidents were 5 times higher than the Woodbridge PD and New Jersey statewide averages.
He is the founder of Street Cop Training. He left policing after only 3 years, in 2015, months before the township settled a $70,000 false arrest lawsuit with three women who were arrested after he leaped onto the hood of their car, pointed a gun at the driver and threatened to shoot her. He took action based on his unsubstantiated hunch they had shoplifted at the mall.
Yup. I’ve been held over two hours in Benson, Arizona after midnight waiting on dog.
Never take legal advice from police. It can never end well.
My school didn’t have pre law, I have a crim minor and took all the rando law classes offered, I will always side with what I learned from an attorney’s point of view. “Magic phrases” as you call them are how our legal system works. Attorneys are the ones who know the magic! You can be polite and still uphold your rights.
I would ask the police officer 1 question, after hearing his diatribe:
"Officer, if you were to be detained at the side of the road, and flashing your badge at the detaining officer didn't get you immediately released, would YOU actually follow your own advice, about 'being cooperative with the detaining officer', or would you 'take your chances with shutting your piehole'?!?!"
Like you said in one of your other videos, "Just keep your mouth shut." The only thing you have to do, when contacted by police for a traffic violation, is to give them your drivers license, insurance, and registration. You to not have to say anything at all.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I got one question for that cop. Was he always a oath violating scumbag? or did the job of being a cop, turn him into one!!
Never take Legal Advice from a cop of any kind!!!
Why is exercising your rights being considered "uncooperative?" Why can't you cooperate whilst keeping your mouth shut and not assisting them with their investigation? I don't like being told I'm uncooperative because I am not in the mood for chit chat.
This is pushed on both crime drama such as CSI and Law and Order and on true crime. If you say you refuse to talk to police without a lawyer, consent to cops running around your house without a warrant, don't agree to a polygraph, or don't consent to having swabs stuck in your mouth, you are considered "not cooperating" or you are "being suspicious". There are people in jail because they said they were someplace at 10PM and a receipt or cctv camera says 10:30 PM or 9:45 PM. The time stamps could be 100% wrong. Machine time stamps are subject to what they are programmed for-so if you live in Virginia but the camera's storage computer is located in Dallas, the time may go by Dallas time. Do the cops know this? No. But they do know you said something about being someplace at 10:00 PM and there is a camera or receipt showing a different time. And polygraphs are medical quackery that they can use to get you to talk to them and they can use that to help them decide if you are guilty. Do you know if you have a medical or mental illness issue that can cause weird readings on polygraphs? Do you know but don't want to disclose your entire medical history to a bunch of police officers?
Don't talk to cops or consent to them getting anything without a lawyer to advise you.
Is like when they put you in the ground and start hitting you while yelling "Stop resisting". Is so that they can give you a beat down without suffering any consequences for their crime.
Should save a copy of his video for when he inevitably ends up in court for a bad search. He can explain these "tricks" and the contempt-of-cop act to the jury.
One topic for a video you may want to consider is whether store or mall employees can prevent you from leaving a store during a "lockdown." The same would apply to police who are in a mall during "lockdown." A large mall in Northern Virginia just went into "lockdown" when a lighting fixture fell and exploded. Can I, a customer, be detained against my will by either the mall staff or police? Or may I exit the mall without interference?
Yet another layer to my distrust of them. Its not about serve and protect, its what can I arrest you for.
No surprise that a cop would be wrong about the law. Or lying.
I like the handcuffs at 4:50. I wish those were in use more often.
Glad I found your channel. Going to share it with many people.
Rights are like muscles; use ‘em or loose ‘em.
Thank you for the great advice sir. I always enjoy watching you. And listening to you tell me how I can live my rights.
I appreciate that
Hi Andrew! Here's how I deal with the "Can I search your car" question. It works every time.
Cop: Do you mind if I search your car? (They often phrase it this way to try and confuse you.)
Me: (Politely) Yes, I mind. I don't consent to that.
Cop Why not? (insinuating I have something to hide)
Me: (in a light, joking tone of voice) Because I'm a slob in my car and I don't want to spend 20 minutes picking up all my crap by the side of the road. That would be embarrassing!
Cop: chuckles and moves on.
Ta da!
It's all about the attitude. Make it about you and your slovenliness, not about them and their request. ;-)
I like that response! The only problem is it's a lot of words, and it gives the police more opportunity to claim you had "slurred speech."
A roadside stop isn't the place to chat with the cops. Just say "no, I do not consent to a search."
What's a good place to chat with the cops?
Trick question. There isn't a good place.
@@Andrewflusche Ah yes, good point. And usually, I'm a bit more brief in front of a cop. LOL It depends on how they ask/what their mood seems to be like.
My goal is to lighten the mood and make them chuckle instead of getting all antsy about my refusal. So far, it's worked. Fortunately, I haven't had to do it often, but if it comes up again, I'll remember to be more brief.
BTW, thank you, Andrew, for all the good work you do. I love your channel!
And thanks so much for responding to my comment!
@@Falconlibrary Oh, I'm aware of that. But as mama said, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. If you lighten the mood, remember that they're still people even if they're assholes, and stay respectful, this approach usually works. I've de-esculated situations this way for myself and others. Believe it or not, most cops actually respond well to being spoken to politely.
Most of the time, it's all about the energy you put out. If you give them attitude right off the bat, you've just set the tone for a bad encounter.
@@Andrewflusche One more thing- my "routine" when getting pulled over (fortunately, this doesn't happen often):
Pull over immediately. Put hands on top of steering wheel, palms open and fingers showing. Don't move until they approach.
When they arrive at your window, smile politely, and show them you are rolling down the window and nothing else.
Contritely say, "Okay, what did I do?" to the officer.
Usually, they'll lighten up a bit, and often they chuckle.
I've got a neat trick.
"I choose to remain silent, and would like to summon my attorney".
It kills me how people are stupid enough to talk to the police.
Great reaction video chockfull of useful information! Thank you!
What are you going to do if they hold you for 2 hours waiting for the dog.. answer.. Nothing. maybe sue later. But good luck with the good ole boy judges.
This needs an answer.
You're awesome dude. So glad your channel exists. It would be amazing if you could branch out into ways to handle the feds for people as well.
The more I hear cops talk, the more I realize how crooked they are.
I’m not planning on moving to Virginia, however if I did, the gentleman presenting these videos would be the sole reason.
This channel is great. I don’t think I’ve seen one video here that didn’t teach me something 🤙
Thank you for this video. I’ve been watching your content for a long, long time. This is the absolute best video you’ve made. I’ll be sharing this with friends and family that think I am paranoid when I tell them “Don’t talk to the Police!” Anyway, thank you for creating content that helps people know their rights.
NOT almost of their tricks are legal. Luke, you know, some will even donate the drugs to you for your drug case!
"Trust us, we're the good guys. YOU GOT THAT?!"
Every evil guy believes itself to be the good guy.
Every single one of them.
I've been a cop for 20 years, and I love this channel. Never thought of you as bashing the police. And truth be told, all the advice you give on here, we (cops) also give to our friends and family and loved ones. Keep up the good work. Good cops swore an oath to defend and protect the Constution and civil rights, and we will always keep that oath.
Officers like this are a danger to society.
The question is why are they out to get our own citizens in a victimless crime? Policing equals money for the city and state. Welcome to America, home of the police state!
Involuntary consent cannot exist logically.
Let's think for a moment -
If I wanted legal advice , should I ask a lawyer or a cop ?
There is a difference between " cooperation " and " compliance ".
One can cooperate while being peacefully non compliant.
Don't talk with police except to outline your non consent to consensual conversation and non consent to search.
I really enjoy your videos!
The cop is likely to "smell" something in the vehicle...doesn't that give them Carte Blanche with little consequence?
Thank you for making videos like these! It's insane that government minions that we pay for, go out of their way to lie to us like this. If we had a truly free country these cops wouldn't exist.
This cop is the epitome of the level of intelligence required to be a cop.
That is an awesome bow tie. I was gonna comment on it and say "Good Stuff".
if you consent to a search and then revoke the consent, they have to stop the search and can't get back into the vehicle without a warrant unless they found something in the short time they had consent
I love these videos! Andrew you make such serious topics educational and entertaining! Thank you!
This channel is awesome. Thank you! It is criminal you don’t have more subs.
4:49
It's difficult to get people to acknowledge this fact. Most Americans, public servant and private citizen alike will argue this ad infinitum.
We need more references to this by credible attorneys.
I'd like to request a video, from your perspective, devoted to this topic.
Thanks. This is a great channel.
MEETKEVIN just got arrested for DUI. He did not follow your rules, and it turned out BAD for him. Would be GREAT if you can do a video on this!!!!!
Andrew, love your videos. Could you please make a video explaining this topic? If i am in a parking lot, such as Lowes, Home Depot, Shoprite, etc., can the police give me a ticket for not stopping at one of their “stop signs”? These parking lots are usually private property, owned by the store.
Everyone just carry a sign that says," I took a vow of silence, therefore I am unable to answer your questions. Please refrain from touching me as it is part of my religion." Hand him your stuff, if ur a driver pulled over, or just turn 90⁰ away from the cop. If they continue
There was a case where a detainee subject of a motor vehicle violation was held over one hour waiting on a K9. I believe it was either the eighth circuit or Arkansas state appeals court on a case where a dog had to be brought in from a distant city (Texarkana?) The delay was held not to be a violation. I think a ten minute rule is long enough but obviously prefer no delay in release from involuntary detention once the investigation of the original traffic violation was over, as in not even a one second detention longer than reasonably necessary to investigate and write a traffic ticket.
Love your vids bro. Keep up the great work
Another thing this cop shows that I learned from YT lawyers: Cops can and will lie to you to get an arrest or conviction, or just for the hell of it.
What about locked containers during either a consensual search or if the dog alerts?
We appreciate you also. Thank you!
Tiktok being full of lies? Well that's new!
That guy needs some REAL training!
Has anyone ever sued for dog SCRATCHING auto?
I had a local smoky follow me several blocks into town from the highway and pull me over 1 block away from my home. He told me I had failed to signal my turn within 100ft (having turned onto the highway from a parking lot less than 100ft before the next turn) yet he waited that long to stop me. He asked a bunch of questions and commented on where I worked (I was in company uniform heading home... he'd worked there for a day or two and quit cuz he couldn't handle a physical job back before he became a cop). He eventually asked to search my vehicle and I refused. "No sir, you may not." I replied and then he told me he was going to call the dogs in and that if they alerted on any of the doors, they were going to search my vehicle. I didn't know what to do about any of that. Shortly the k-9 unit rolled up and the dog started "alerting" on their own vehicles, the fire hydrant, a spot in the grass, every single door of my vehicle... it was CRINGE. This dog was just trained to make that motion at anything so they could have a reason to search. I had nothing to hide. That officer went through everything in my vehicle, left everything strewn about and all over the floor/seats/console/dash. And this was at night, mind you. ALL of my neighbors came out to see what was going on, there were rumors ranging from me being in a wreck to my home being raided by swat. Absurd. Small town police are the worst, too. Everyone knows that guy is a shithead hack that only wanted to drive around writing tickets. In the end he found nothing. Because there was nothing. I did not want him doing EXACTLY what he ended up doing: Making a damned mess and leaving me to clean it up. I have nothing but respect for LAW ENFORCEMENT that respond to potentially dangerous situations and genuinely protect and serve. I have NO (0%) respect for "revenue generators" that just make questionable traffic stops all day and every day, abusing the law to hit their quotas.
In the next Q&A can you go over the whole traveling vs driving defense?
I have heard that if the police simply ask , "Hi , 👋 how are you doin today"❓👮Or, "Sure is a hot one today , right"❓. These are two examples of your complying to questioning (interrogation) . Am I correct on this ?
I don't use TikTok, and I just get timeouts when connecting to the guy's website. Who is this advice giver and where does he, uh, "serve the public"? This looks like a great video to acquire and have handy, just in case.
