  • James Freeman does First Amendment Audits, Cop Watch, cop block, asking cops the same questions they ask us, and more. With Live PD and Cops being cancelled, James Freeman is now doing LIVE COP WATCHES, which are actually live, and don't have the "cops can do no wrong" bias. Sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's light and humorous.
    I think I kind of like this cop. He seems to have a sense of humor, but that didn't mean that I wasn't going to go and get the video he took of me from his phone!

    I worked for a state university for several years, and on day one I was told that everything I do at work is public record. I was further told that since I had control of most of these public records, I was to provide them without question or delay to anyone that requested them. The only exceptions were things with any student information, and any personnel issues. It was made crystal clear to me that if I failed in my duties as a keeper/creator of public records, I would be terminated the same day. Why are our "police" not trained the same way?

      Officer Paula almond.
      Expecting EVERYONE to obey the law does not make you a sovereign citizen. Only those who believe the law does not apply to them are sovereign citizens and the single largest group of sovereign citizens are those working as police. That is why they are called cops instead of LAW ENFORCEMENT officers.
      www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
      Article. VI.
      “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (emphasis added); and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
      www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=19&page=transcript
      Marbury v. Madison (1803)
      The question, whether an act, repugnant to the constitution, can become the law of the land, is a question deeply interesting to the United States; but happily, not of an intricacy proportioned to its interest. It seems only necessary to recognize certain principles, supposed to have been long and well established, to decide it.
      That the people have an original right to establish, for their future government, such principles as, in their opinion, shall most conduce to their own happiness, is the basis on which the whole American fabric has been erected. The exercise of this original right is a very great exertion; nor can it, nor ought it, to be frequently repeated. The principles, therefore, so established, are deemed fundamental. And as the authority from which they proceed is supreme, and can seldom act, they are designed to be permanent.
      This original and supreme will organizes the government, and assigns to different departments their respective powers. It may either stop here, or establish certain limits not to be transcended by those departments.
      The government of the United States is of the latter description. The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken, or forgotten, the constitution is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished, if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed, are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act.
      Between these alternatives there is no middle ground. The constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it.
      If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act contrary to the constitution is not law: if the latter part be true, then written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to limit a power in its own nature illimitable.
      Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the FUNDAMENTAL AND PARAMOUNT LAW (emphasis added) of the nation, and consequently, the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void.
      It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that in declaring what shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (emphasis added), the constitution itself is first mentioned; and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the constitution, have that rank.
      Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that A LAW REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS VOID (emphasis added); and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.
      www.archives.gov/founding-docs/amendments-11-27
      Amendment 14, section 1:
      “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY LAW WHICH SHALL ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES (emphasis added); nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Obviously the officer is nearer retirement than he is the beginning of watch and he wants to go along to get along. But specifically what I was referencing was that prior to FOIA-ing officer Spears personal video, there was no PROOF that he was actually recording! But thanks anyway for your comment Columbo.

If you recall, if you are old enough, late 2015, Apple refused to reveal the San Bernadino terrorist attackers phone passcode to authorities. However, so I’ve heard, that municipality paid up words of one million dollars for a hacker to break into it. So what I’m saying is, officer spears could’ve recorded the encounter, erased it, and would’ve never been discovered. Use your head for something other than a hat rack son.

  • @1godonlyone119
    @1godonlyone119 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have my own guidelines for dealing with cops during stops:
    1. Silence is Golden.
    Remain silent as much as possible. Cops will try to twist anything and everything you say and use it against you:
    They will try to escalate a conversation to an argument, and escalate an argument into a physical assault on you.
    They can't escalate anything if you say nothing. Never offer them any information, because they will use it against you.
    2. Don't answer any of their questions.
    If you choose to talk to them at all, then make sure you don't answer even a single question.
    They are not your friends, and they're not asking to benefit you, they are asking in order to harm you.
    Even if you have already said something, you can stop talking at any time. Let their questions hang unanswered.
    3. Don't engage in back-and-forth conversation with them.
    If you choose to talk to them at all, then don't let it turn into a back-and-forth conversation.
    They are trained to use conversations to trip you up, lower your guard, and get you to incriminate yourself.
    Whenever you notice it turning into a conversation, always revert to silence.
    4. Ask them questions.
    Cops are trained to use your statements as evidence against you, to incriminate you.
    It's nearly impossible to use your questions as evidence against you, because most questions offer no information.
    If you decide to speak to them at all, then you should ask them questions. Silence is always the best,
    but asking a question is always better than making a statement.
    5. Give them directives.
    Police officers are public servants, and they have no rights as police officers.
    Police officers have duties and responsibilities, and they answer to the general public.
    If you decide to speak to them at all, then you should tell them what to do.
    6. Trolling is legal.
    As a form of mental jiu-jitsu, you can sometimes get a cop off your back by trolling him (wise-cracking and insulting him).
    In some instances, they'd rather leave you alone than to stand there and get insulted.
    You have the freedom to say whatever you want. Wise-cracks and insults are legal, and they can't do anything about it.
    It's better to remain silent, give directives, and ask questions respectfully, but you are allowed to wise-crack and insult them with impunity.
    Be aware, however, that doing so may make them angry, so proceed with extreme caution: When in doubt, always revert to silence.

    Hey man, thanks so much for showing the FOIA request form and how you filled it out.
    I watch a lot of "auditing" videos lately, and have learned so much from watching the common patterns across different channels and videos or interactions. I'm learning the law through you guys.
    However, this is possibly the first time I've seen a video where someone has actually shown me some of the paper work side of these processes.
    I think a lot of people are anxious about the idea of doing what you do, for themselves, because they do not have a clue about the paper work, and with regards to anxiety, I suspect many people naturally go for the videos on handling interactions, instead of handling paper work.
    Lets face it, most of the exciting drama is not the paper work! I know this fro myself.
    But it's really nice to be gently walked into the paper work side of understanding our rights and becoming familiar with practicing the art of protecting everyone's rights.
    I'm from Ireland, so the American stuff only assists me so much.
    Over here though, we do have what is sort of like a constitution. It's called that, but it's Glossa'd (or glossed) from what I can see. However the fake courts here Act like it's a common law constitution.
    We appear to have a similar common law "constitution", with legal Statutes and Acts applied on top.
    So in many ways it seems I may have this same ability to stand in the common law of the land, as well as step into the matrix of commerce, to be a citizen or person with a surname.
    Still figuring out what it is I don't know that I should know XD
    I do not want to interact with my government and let them know what I might know and use later, as they are more dangerous than what you guys might be used to.
    It seems best for me to gather knowledge outside of the states watch, as much as possible(spying on me through social media not withstanding).
    Anyway, I appreciate the inside view of the FOIA request process, and hope you can explain more about these types of processes, and how to avoid certain paper work tricks, scams or issues when interacting with the state or it's agents/agencies.
    I watch these videos mainly for the education, not the entertainment. Although, they are very entertaining too :)
    Thanks!
