I usually agree with everything you say but demonizing sovereign citizens as dangerous is ludicrous. What do you base this on? The one shooting involving a sovereign citizen and a son? When they shot a cop? You might as well say black people are unstable and dangerous.
This is the most ridiculous and biased "audit the audit" I've ever seen! Why are you defaming this man by referring to him as a "sovereign citizen", a group you refer to as a "violent domestic terrorist organization"? He never mentioned or claimed any connection. He has plead his position in court and won. He explained this, which the officer verified (conveniently edited out), and was released because what he said was true. I can't believe you tried to feed us that, "he didn't argue and let him go in the interest of having a better relationship with the man in the future" nonsense. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? And you gave him a "bad grade" because he studied the law and was able to articulate those facts in the courtroom and on camera in the street? Pull your head out.
@@frankh.3849 I'm certain that the accusation is more than base on variety than one incident and you compare an etiology that based on gamble on citizens of a country and a far discriminative that has been in human history for hundreds of years ... Those are not even close on severity
I agree, but I'll add that by letting this man drive away without a license he encouraged him to continue with (and probably escalate) his sovereign citizen nonsense.
@@bigisrick I'm pretty sure it was obvious that the guy has dealt with the local police often and this officer probably has heard about this guy from other officers. You want police officers to suspect every person they pull over of being murderers?
I don't agree. The cop needs to do his job. Its illegal to drive without a license or a license plate. And then he refused to offer ID... so he broke the law, and then told the cop he isn't going to comply at all and the cop let him go.... cop should be fired, this cop is the type to not try and stop an active shooter, or not run in a burning building, this is not the guy you want when you call for backup.
I think my favorite part about this was the officer essentially saying, "please help me understand you so that I can do my job better for others." That's an excellent officer. Odd situation, but excellent officer.
while i agree this encounter went well, officers shouldn't be expected to be angles to citizens. Just recently in my state an officer pulled over a man and was extremely nice to the man and as the officer was walking back to his car the suspect shot and killed him. The officer knew he had a gun but gave him too much respect. RIP that officer, the criminal was shot later.
@@kknox5793 well tbf, if he has a concealed carry license or whatever the case and the officer knew, then either way the situation would be prevented because that isn’t something he could’ve arrested him for. He would’ve (probably) had to deprive him of his rights in order to survive unfortunately
Dude, I must say I LOVE the fact that you do the black & white video during commentary. It helps the viewer distinguish easily in the scroll-over previews where the raw video takes place. Another excellent production, you sir are an S-Tier TH-camr.
except perhaps if the driver slams into another car at the next corner and maybe kills a driver because his car hasn't passed any inspection and he has no insurance.
@@sambest4707 not having insurance doesn't make somebody drive worse, and states are slowly getting rid of "car inspections" because they're proven not to impact crash statistics, and only impact the mechanics wallet. Some states are keeping "emissions" which obviously don't factor in. So neither of those things make a person more likely to die in an accident. If somebody happened to die while all traffic rules are being followed, they'd be just as likely to die from a licensed driver.
@@AliceA333 silly reply. No-one can ancipate what will happen when you are driving. Set out for work in a quiet suburban street and you can be killed at the next corner
@@sambest4707 Yes, an accident can happen anywhere. How does that disprove my statement? You believe that if somebody's insurance lapses they become a terrible driver? You must not have read my comment, or not comprehended it.
he should be promoted to union chief, and chief of police for every single department in the united states. i have developed a serious dislike for all police, in my feelings of rage the next time i am watching a police terrorizing video, i will remember there is at least one thats good.
One time my family and I were traveling to UAE by car, we lost the road and we entered UAE without going to the passport checks and all of that somehow (I know its kinda funny)but we ran into a police stop and one of the officers was really helpful, he drew a whole map of the roads and told us how to go back and then go the right way he was very nice, my mother always prayed for him after that incident
@@sambest4707 The only problem with that is how contradictory and ridiculous our laws have become... They'll enforce laws that shouldnt be enforced too
@@jessierude5879 While officers have some discretion they have a sworn duty to enforce laws. Legislators make laws. It would be chaos if cops didn't apply them. And then courts decide if the matter results in a conviction or fine etc. People have every right to object to any law but they need to petition politicians to change laws or even become one themselves. In fact there are 1000s of videos on YT showing cops doing their job & being criticized (sometimes rightly) but they're at the coal face getting all the flack when they don't have a choice to do anything else.
@@sambest4707 tbh I'm OK with them not knowing as long as they don't get pissy about others knowing more than their 8 week program asses. Like lets say I don't want to explain it to them so we ask for their supervisor if they remain calm and don't be hostile it would likely cause less hassle. Honestly a lot of times the mark of a good police officer is remaining cool in situations like that.
Man, that flashlight in the eyes crap is so foul. I'm a respectful person and I'd like to look you in the eyes when speaking to you. How long do you need to keep the light in my eyes? How does that make the situation any better?
I thought about hooking up a bunch of LEDs and mount them on my car panel and if a police officer shines his light in my eyes I use a push button with my foot to blind his ass! Bahaha
I noticed that as well. I live in my car and I hate it when police have their floodlights on my car and then come up to me and just keep their flashlight shining directly in my eyes while talking to me when I'm obviously just sleeping in my car. The police here are generally very polite to me, but it is annoying when they do that.
@@Randy2747 The strobe lights on my power banks are blinding even during the day, but I would expect an officer to take it as a threat if you did something to blind them, and it would definitely piss them off and they'd find something to give you a ticket for.
Resisting an extremely nice person is MUCH harder than resisting an overly aggressive one. I learned this in SERE. You can no longer play the victim card in the heat of the moment and any hostility displayed by you, makes you the aggressor.
For this reason, HUMINT specialists are almost always some of the NICEST and most patient people you will ever meet in your life. The kind of person who can become friends with anyone; because who isn't willing to let their friends in on some dirty little secrets, right?
@@stephenthompson7362 Oddly enough HUMINT specialists are generally concerned with avoiding undo attention. Being aggressive is counter productive as it gets you noticed.
I am unfamiliar with any of those acronyms. However that sound dishonest and manipulative. Pretend to be nice verbally push the other person to act aggressive then win? Like i said i have no idea what your talking about. But is that the jist?
@@shhh7549 SERE is an acronym for Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape and HUMINT is Human Intelligence for the Army. Basically, the tactics used are on a sort of scale. It takes far more energy to express aggression and in turn, can make a situation go left far more quickly which isn’t what you want if you want to survive or gather information. You wanna approach a person who is potentially hostile without triggering a fight or flight response. Frightened people are highly unpredictable and that makes them more dangerous.
Give this officer a medal! He has commendable interactive skills - polite, respectful, and he actually takes the time to listen and affirm which nowadays seems incredible. Wish he could be cloned for police departments across the country - at the least, he should be hired to offer training videos that are required.
Wow he didn't care that he didn't have a license, didn't care that he wouldn't give him his name , nothing. That's crazy. That could've gone a completely different route.
When you correct your status the cops can’t ski anything to you. Step your game up. Audit the audit is an agent trying to make status correction look crazy by calling it sovereign citizen. Don’t be fooled.
This officer is the equivalent of an Enterprise Rent-a-car employee with his customer skills ! He should team up with Long Island Audit for going to police stations for officer training
The police officer in this video should be President of Police Officer training and certifications nation wide! He is a prime example of what policing could be and should be in our country. I am ecstatic to finally see a professional and honorable police officer in one of these videos. If only we had more people in law enforcement like him, the police would have a much better reputation and relationship with the public! Great job!
I agree. What happens when either one of them is not respectful. When it's easy, it's easy. The real challenge is when it's not easy. What if the driver ran a red light and got pulled over - what should the cop do?
@@32266ms In that situation the best thing the cop could do is the exact same thing he did in this video, but leave him with a ticket for running a red. Why do I say that? Because the driver mentioned he's perfectly comfortable explaining his side of the story to a judge. A better question would be, what if it was the same driver in the same situation, but the cop was less reasonable than this one was - what should the driver do?
@@architeuthis3476 I don't really know what to say. How about asking how experienced you are in the world. How old are you? I don't want to sound harsh, but I don't see another way. Bad people lie to get out of trouble. And bad people exist. I think the reason the cop was reasonable here is because the infraction was tiny. If you run a red light, I think the cop needs to see your DL and verify insurance. Cops aren't allowed to let a driver without a license and insurance continue driving. So, what if the cop gives a ticket based on whatever name the driver gives and doesn't verify insurance - then the driver goes to the local bar, gets drunk, and kills a family while he's traveling? That kind of stuff happens. The cop would be roasted and the PD sued for millions. What's the responsible thing for the cop to do? To your question - it's simple, comply. Compliance is what you do. If you have no DL, you're not driving away. The car will get impounded. If the driver has no ID at all he will probably get arrested. We live in a nation of laws and laws are to be followed. We don't just make up the rules as we go along because we know better. You don't just say that law is dumb, I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm right and you're wrong. That's a recipe for conflict - that's what you do if you want to get in a fight at a bar. Is it hard to follow the law? Know your rights. Also, know your responsibilities. Every right you have is somebody else's responsibility. Stand up for your rights and uphold the rights of others. Be responsible.
@@32266ms Wrong. Compliance may be the simple answer, but isn't necessarily the best answer. This entire channel is about the balance between asserting one's rights and compliance.
@@architeuthis3476 Thank You. But I think non-compliance with a tyrannical cop can get you killed. So, comply, record, and fight in court. Being "Dead Right" is a horrible thing! What is a better answer? Knowing your rights and being able to articulate them might be it. But what if the cop is right? Cops aren't automatically wrong. In fact, knowing your rights can help you see when you've done wrong. I agree with your assertion about the intent of this channel. I think the rub on this particular video is to give bad actors another tool to get away with bad acts. There are legitimate Sovereign Citizens I think. But they don't live in communities amongst thousands of people. It's a lazy person that wants all the benefits of living in a developed society and doesn't want to follow the laws that are there to keep the peace and ensure that society continues to exist. It's "I have rights and no responsibility". I think this is specific to 1st world countries.
I grew up in Kalamazoo, east side, I have had a lot or interactions with the KPD. I wish that I could have had this cop every time instead of the officers that I interacted with hahaha. First time I saw the cop with a better grade than the citizen, too.
I was from the same City as well. The Interaction i had with police range from "A Standard Traffic Stop to them Pulling us Over and have 4 cops and a K-9 Unit yelling at my Dad at a Marathon Gas Station." But i am amazed to see this here.
That officer was so awesome and professional... Wow... Makes life so much easier when someone isn't attacking you or trying to trick you in order to do damage to you... Thank you for posting this.
The shame of it is that this Officer most likely excelled at his job so well and that he loved that he was was bumped up until he no longer has contact with the public day to day, which is what he was so good with. And is so desperately now. He’s probably pushing paperwork, problem solving and wishing he was back n his patrol car. But, I could b just b projecting?
Future police chief or elected Sheriff, hopefully elected Sheriff of a very large county like Los Angeles, Chi-town, Maricopa! Best LEO I've seen in a while, there's a shit ton of great LEOs but this guy seems to be a cut above the best out there. Granted it's a short interaction but my goodness the LEO is outstanding! The State and County in which they both reside are fortunate, both good men!
Either way, this cop is an INCREDIBLE guy and should be the role model for ALL traffic stops. Simple, friendly, attentive, and NOT a bully! We need more guys like him! God bless you sir 🎉💯
If we had more Law Enforcement officers like this that had the expertise to interface with people afflicted with mental illness, it would go a long way to restore the faith in Law enforcement.
Most of them are like this. If u had any idea of how many law enforcement encounters there are in a single year compared to the handful of horrible ugly videos u see it’s not even close.
@@shotgunshell80 it is not just the videos. Unfortunately police officers do not get enough training on mental health/illness and de-escalation. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to say that all police officers are the same or "tyrants"/the bad apples.
@@jasonbender2459 all three things you mentioned are petty details that mean next to nothing to the average person on a day-to-day basis. If someone is driving safely than it doesn't matter whether or not they have insurance because 99% of the time it's safe drivers who get hit by an unsafe driver (then it only matters that the unsafe driver has insurance). Honestly, a lot of the work cops do on a day-to-day basis is the enforcement of ticky-tack laws that provide more revenue to local governments than they ever impact society. Over policing is a problem in modern America and it's a breath of fresh air to see a cop who doesn't participate in it's practice.
@@jasonbender2459 I never said any of that. You certainly are proficient in the art of gaslighting. Literally never said any of that. I'd be more in favor of a warning system that is reasonable vs the type of ticky tack tickets cops are constantly writing people on a daily basis today. There is a middle ground ya know.
Your explanation of Sovereign Citizens was the first I have heard the concisely explains the "secret account" aspect of their BS. Their thought process now makes sense. It's BS, but at least it now makes sense. Thank you!
I always thought the whole “sovereign citizen” thing was just people who take the cliff notes version of the constitution at face value and have no understanding of the intricacies but I am now thoroughly baffled as to how they come up with this stuff
@@bosscus I'm in the UK. I don't get this. Surely if One is a Sovereign Citizen and not a US Citizen - One doesn't have the rights given under the US constitution. Therefore the right to bear arms, right to free speech etc doesn't apply to them? You discount yourself from the US, that's fine, you don't have the rights a US citizen has. Watch them say we recognise the Government then lol.
@@arabcheif Nah apparently “Sovereign Citizen” is like the US Citizen Premium Plus Rewards Package where you have all the rights and none of the restrictions. I hate it here
@@arabcheif - "One doesn't have the rights given under the US constitution. Therefore the right to bear arms, right to free speech etc doesn't apply to them?" This is probably due to UK vs US, but in the US, rights are protected not provided by US law. They're recognized as intrinsic and gained upon birth. The Constitution does not need to exist for these rights to exist. It's a philosophical stance. (I'm not a sovereign citizen, but understanding that core American philosophy explains why they don't think they lose any rights enumerated in the Constitution because the Constitution isn't the source of the rights but a pledge that the government cannot interfere with them.)
this officer showed exceptional judgement as he didn't appear to know the exact legalities of the situation, rather then turning a very minor infraction into a major situation he chose to use his discretion.
I do not believe in Sovereign Citizens and their views but this officer was OUTSTANDING. A very respectful and calm officer, you can tell he is fairly new and has a clear mental state. Outstanding officer. Positive attitude.
the traveler is 100% correct. I've seen letters written by state AG's to their DMV office regarding right to travel and that it is in fact true. I've seen videos of judges also basically admitting to it, without fully stating it on the record, and dropping charges so there is no evidence of him ruling in a traveler's favor. If you can articulate it all properly and be honorable with the judge, he will respect you taking the time to actually learn the law and always reserving your rights. If you don't reserve your rights, you waive them. People that go down for trying this, do not properly reserve their rights. Because once you state that you are doing so, if you are denied your rights, that's when the police or judge can be liable and in big trouble.
@@Jesse.Glanville You have the right to travel. That is, transport yourself from one point to another using whatever means and modes available to you; your feet, a scooter, a skateboard, rollerblade, a pogo stick, to name a few things. What you DO NOT have the "right" to do is to operate a motor vehicle. That is a activity that is regulated and a privilege extended by the state. Think about this: you could ride a horse without a license, a horse and buggy without a license (The Amish do it every day) but not a motor vehicle. There is no "Department of Horses" under the state. So if you're so concerned about your "right to travel", get a horse.
@@Jesse.Glanville it's a shame he tries to justify his perspective through "their" legal system and doesn't fundamentally protest against the states tyrannical encroachment on freedom in the name of safety.
@@SpeakAllowed1984 It's NOT an "encroachment". As citizens and residents of entities called "states", we come to a consensus about what activities will be allowed within the entity. We make this known and manifest through a republican form of democratic self government. Now how much will be allowed and what will be allowed is a matter of community standards and values. For example, Clark County in Nevada allows gambling but not prostitution. In some state counties, you can't buy alcohol (so called "dry" counties), in others, you can. Again, a matter of consensus. IMO, the error that so called "libertarians" make is their belief that individuals operate in a vacuum; that their individual actions don't affect anyone else. Sen. Rand Paul found out that's not the case the hard way with his neighbor. While this country does emphasize individual rights, they're not absolute. There are limits. So, my advice (such as it is), is to seek out neighbors and try to change minds and reach a new consensus that can be agreed upon that expand these "liberties" and "rights".
There are not enough examples of A+ LEOs. If this one goes far in the service, he can be a force for good for the people he serves. Thanks for sharing, another fascinating view of the issues involved in police interactions.
As a former Michigander, I can attest that it is hard for anyone living there. I feel like the LEO in this video is polite because he understands the struggle this man is going through. In Michigan you can either be mad at the world and see nothing change or just put your head down and get by.
@@j0m017 Hard living is an excuse to not follow the law? Hard living means "driving" magically becomes "traveling" WTF? I dont think its facism to require folks to have a valid license and registration when operating a motor vehicle. We were poor growing up, and for a bit, actually homeless. Sure it was tempting to steal food just so we could eat, but we didnt. We never broke the law or declared soverign citizens just because things were "hard".
Promote this officer! The professional, humble and respectful way he carried himself is worthy of respect. Every video that I have watched evolving sovereign citizens and law enforcement usually ended with the driver being dragged out of the car beaten or tazed arrested and the car impounded. Thank you officer your are an honorable man and you have my respect
This officer has got something "English" about him. Every encounter (3 in total) I've had with the police in the UK has been respectful. I watch a lot of US police interaction videos on TH-cam and most of them show the US police having ZERO de-escalation skills. It's frightening. This cop brings much needed respect to the badge.
The distinction comes from the legal definition and the commonly accepted definition. Similarly to how the Facebook corporation is a legal person, but isn't a human being.
I find it odd that Mr Gardner is given a C- while others are given an A while going off the rails with what seems a sole effort to end up winning a lawsuit.
Considering the language difficulties I see in that nation (Land of the Fee, Home of the Grave and all that 😉), maybe too many cops think "Soviet Citizen" and their deep state indoctrination gets triggered.
Pledging each citizens earnings to foreign investors... that's a thing that actually happens... but it's not a top secret government scheme... it's just capitalism
@@thewhitefalcon8539 No, that is not a thing that actually happens, nor can you prove that it does. And don't counter that I can't prove it doesn't happen: you made the initial claim, so the onus is on you to support it. Btw, income that hasn't happened yet isn't capital, so it has nothing to do with capitalism.
@@BigBri550 My dude, they just make houses so expensive that the majority of people decide to commit 30 years of future income to a bank to get one. And the banks trade this future income between themselves - what do you think a Mortgage-Backed Security is? It's not a conspiracy, it's just a new perspective on a normal everyday thing. Which I can tell you sorely need.
@@BigBri550 Investors of all varieties - both foreign and domestic - buy these mortgages. Either directly, through MBS, or indirectly, by buying stocks of the banks, or super indirectly, by buying S&P 500 index funds because these banks are in the S&P 500.
I had no idea they were an actual, legit group lol. I’ve only ever heard “I’m a sovereign citizen” when some obnoxious person is getting arrested for refusing to step out of their car or something.
Sovereign citizen is an oxymoron, n-e one who truly studies law and knows the definition of each word in it's entirety would know to never use these 2 words 2gether 2 describe themselves, trouble ensues when they do.
I replayed the ending to the encounter like 20 times in a row so far lol, what an awesome moment that probably changed his thought of the police completely.
Wow, this officer is genuinely nice! He was able to keep both himself and the sovereign citizen calm and collected. This encounter could have gone pear shaped in a New York minute in the hands of a less skilled LEO. Hats off to this guy!
Anything that your apply for a license for, you must lawfully be able to do outside of that licensing framework, otherwise that license is giving rise to unlawful activity.
@@christaylor9095 right. One is lawful, and one isn't. The only thing that makes driving without a license unlawful is paperwork, and the government's decision to make it so.
it's not necessarily a CONSPIRACY movement. you don't have to believe all that gold standard stuff to know that driving is an obvious RIGHT, not a privilege. to move and travel freely is the very ESSENCE of liberty. without freedom of movement, no other rights can be fully exercised. "no person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". that means the government cannot prevent you from traveling, by means of your own personal property, unless they prove via due process of the law that you're doing something illegal. making it ILLEGAL for anyone to travel via their own private property, unless and until they meet any and all government restraints on every aspect of that travel, is a de facto deprivation of liberty. further, conditioning travel upon consent to being summarily detained without cause at any given moment by government is de facto deprivation of liberty. it is the exact OPPOSITE of liberty- it is forcing innocent citizens to forfeit their right to liberty, and many other basic rights, without any due process. for example, requiring you to identify yourself to government for the purpose of investigating you, without any reasonable suspicion, solely because you are traveling via your own personal property, is a violation of every aspect of due process. private cars are how americans get where they're going. it's usually the ONLY way to get where you're going. and if you are deprived of getting where you need to be, you are deprived of everything else you have the right to do. to understand why government required permission for EVERY ASPECT of private travel on public roads is such a huge violation- no, NEGATION- of liberty, imagine it was 200 years ago and you were riding your horse instead of driving your car, and just by virtue of riding the horse, HAVING DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL, you can at any moment be stopped and questioned by the law- identification? license? registration? title? insurance? vin? where ya headed? ...ridiculous to imagine. weirder yet, imagine that, in order to legally ride your horse, you had to obtain government permission (and pay them) to own the horse, and seperate permission and payment to ride that particular horse, and seperate permission and payment for you yourself to ride ~any~ horse. ask yourself, why do you have to 're-register' your car every year? why do you have to get a new license every few years? why do you have to turn over your title and have a new one issued whenever you move to another state? why have courts ruled that whenever you are in your private vehicle on a public road, ALL of your constitutional rights are void or dramatically restricted? why can the government summarily TAKE your car from you for the most minor of violation? this guy and his ilk have a solid point.
I consider it a conspiracy movement because the foundational principles are based on a belief that they can renounce citizenship from a Federal corporation that doesn't exist OR that they believe, falsely, that they can selectively reject portions of the Constitution based on some pretty wild interpretations of legal precedent. Being that they are essentially anti-federalist anarchists, some of their government end goals are very similar to small government libertarian minded people. There's nothing inherently wrong with those end goals; however, the way sovereign citizen true believers go about those goals, for instance by separating themselves from the so-called corporate "strawman entity," are completely unsound. To put it another way, the sovereign citizen movement is a trap for libertarians. Like other conspiracy theories it creates false simplified explanations for the situation we find ourselves in and, even worse, it proports to offer a solution. Their legal argument is completely baseless and has resulted in serious legal consequences for some of the people who buy into their movement. This is different from intentional civil disobedience. People who intentionally break the laws to draw attention to what they see as unjust are making an educated decision and knowingly putting themselves at risk to further their cause. As long as they do not deprive liberty from anyone else, I don't really hold any ill will against people for civil disobedience, they know what they are getting into. Sovereign citizens are not making an educated decision to break the law in order to change it. They are operating on a mistaken belief that they have discovered a sound legal argument in defense of their principles and they suffer needlessly for it. Ultimately their goal of greater personal liberty is undermined by a perpetuation of false beliefs. (Side note: I don't entirely believe in removing Driver's licenses but I do agree that the State far outsteps their mandate to enforce public safety in the sheer number of personal liberties they demand we "voluntarily" give up in order to be licensed. It should be treated as a right, not a privilege. That said, your horse example: a man being stopped and questioned where he was going, why, and whose horse he was riding? ABSOLUTLEY something that would have happened all the time in historical community-level policing. Especially if you were a stranger. Residents and whatever passed for law enforcement (bailiff, sheriff, townswatch, ext...) would be very invested in knowing why you were riding through their town/city/on the kings road ext...)
@@Felcaster great analysis. as i said, the weird conspiracy part, and the end result, is indeed fruitless and twisted. that said, i... {ahem}... hate to beat a dead horse, but no frontiersman would cotton to having to produce government papers showing the horse belongs to him, another paper to prove the horse has government permission to be on the roads, another paper to show that the government is allowing him to ride his horse, etc. i'm gonna go ahead and say it: i would imagine that they would reckon they were being approached like a slave. we should be issued a license to drive, which should be permanent unless and until it is revoked for cause. we should get title once per vehicle no matter where we move- the way it stands, being forced to turn over your title to have a new state title it, feels like we are giving the state legal claim to our car. we should not need to 'register' the same car over and over- or at all. i worked at dmv in one of my lives and i still don't see the point or need to 'register' the same car every year. most importantly, we should not have to give up one ounce of property or privacy rights, or any other rights, while on the road. we literally pass only at the pleasure of an array of government agencies out there trying to pick us off the road. it's insane how eroded our constitutional rights have become. people don't know and don't care- until it affects them.
Thanks. Please beat as many dead horses as you need, I'm always happy to learn. I hear what you are saying, but I do not know if I would consider American western pioneers as an example of a functional government. They are a pretty diverse group, but I agree that a lot of them were fundamentally opposed to government oversight and taxation for various political or religious reasons. They weren't exactly sanctioned so much as they just stayed ahead of Federal government oversight. They actually created a lot of headaches: Violating Native American land treaties and then getting bailed out by the Federal military; Californian gold prospectors disrespecting individual land grants; Illinoisans lynching Mormons; anything to do with slavery; ext... That's besides the point though. I'm picking up what you are putting down, the vehicle licensing that so many people accept as the norm is in fact a very recent and invasive invention. I have nothing to add to your breakdown of what State licensing laws should be. I agree. I worked as a compliance manager for a repossession company in the past. There *are* laws that treat vehicles as private property, we followed them when RV's or trailer homes were being used as someone's primary residence. That was rare, but it was a perfect example of how it is fully possible to enforce an individual's rights; a corporation's rights (like a bank loan); and the State's obligation to protect public safety, without requiring Citizens to surrender any essential rights.
Much respect to the officer in this video. I think it’s say to say I speak for all the citizens of the United States of America that we wish ALL officers would be so humble and respectful towards us and I wish ALL auditors would be so humble and respectful as the man pulled over. This world would definitely be a better place!
There is such a thing as a Sovereign Citizen, the word is an inside joke about these fake constitutionalists , their whole "its an oxymoron'" thing was started because they got tired of cops instantly recognizing them and completely shutting down their script before the 40 minute mark, they know they are clowns and wanted to avoid the stigma that come by default with the title so they cry and whine about it. Also what does the word being an oxymoron have to do with anything in the grand scale of things, oxymoron's are common place in the English language such as virtual reality, Jumbo Shrimp, only choice and almost perfect and are completely acceptable
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. Two people treating each other with kindness and respect. It doesn't get any better than that! This officer deserves a huge raise!
In Federalist #84, Alexander Hamilton says that our Constitution is based on 5 previous documents. 1. 1100 Charter of Liberties. 2. Magna Charta 3. Petition of Rights 4. Grand Remonstrance 5.

Yeah the driver was certainly eligible for tickets and car impounded, whole nine yards. The very nice cop checked with other cops who knew him, he didnt say exactly what they said bit I would guess it was to the effect of. Yeah we know him, arresting him will be more trouble than its worth..hes on secondary streets near his home. Let him go. Cop was outstanding. No ego. No escalation. This should be training film nationwide. Best to detect and deter Real crimes. Pick your battles. Dont waste courts time. Cop was definitely an A+
More like the most biased explanation. That man didn't once even claim to be a sovereign citizen. It's obvious AtA has personal issues with people that identify as sovereign citizens. "Usually they become violent" which is based on what?
@@lauralishes1 This is not the only time i have seen and heard AtA use prejudice and biased remarks. Often he also misses relevant parts of the parts of the law that apply.
I’m referring to the portion of the video where AtA explains the fundamental basis of their ideology; not to any opinions of whether those beliefs are correct or not.
@@lauralishes1 Man said im traveling at least 15 times, hes a sovereign citizen. And yes he should have issues, do you even understand the purpose of this channel? Dumbass sovereign citizens only hurt their movement
The officer was acting like a human being with humility. Wow, What if all people were like that. Peace Officer. This was a significant interaction. He gathered the facts and was not committing a crime so he let him go his way. Beautiful! Mr. Gardner was very peaceful in his conversation.
Today I’ve watched a Battle Creek encounter with a Calhoun County Sheriff’s Deputy who scored an ‘F’ and was eventually FIRED, now a Kalamazoo Public Safety Officer who scored an A+. For those geographically challenged, Kalamazoo County and Calhoun County are next to each other in Southwest Michigan and are significantly different and independent from one another.
someone had to file for the video release, for some reason, someone did do that. the most common reason would be a complaint about the circumstance, however the entire video seems positive. it's very likely it was mr. gardiner, but probably not to complain. it's unironically probably for his own collection of 'evidence', he believes he is essentially his own nation, and would need it to defend himself and add to his profiled manifesto for future arguments and examples of his 'exemption'. Sovereign citizens are the karens of the legal system, he is somewhat delusional despite being polite and kind, and so demanding to have a copy of the police officers bodycam even with no incident is completely in the norm for them. ATA is referencing why the video exists at all with that statement, it's not a coincidence most police interactions recorded and released are negative, they are intended for scrutiny itself, and so when someone files for the camera footage of an interaction like this, to some degree, you do have to wonder why. It's not like the police released it.
Ego is the #1 reason getting cops in trouble and costing PD's across the country. This officer's interaction was exemplary of what it means to serve the public.
This is the first time a police officer received an A on Audit the Audit as far as I've seen,, I wish all police offices was like this guy👍👍 Some people just don't have hate embedded in them..
220 lbs is average for 6'5" if they're a weight lifter. 200 being the normal weight and 25 lbs of muscle being the average growth for the first year of working out. --- Also larger frames put on muscle pretty poorly. So, even if they had 30 - 35 lbs of muscle, they would need good genetics to get volume. (though none of this affects strength)
I still can't wrap my head around how this "sovereign citizens" should work even with your long explanation. That officer have a huge patience and so polite to deal with the matter. It's a rare treat, Kudo's to him.
Basically its a religion based off a fake conspiracy theory that has no actual real meaning, which is why it's so difficult to understand for a person with a functional brain. But that doesn't mean sovereign citizens aren't entitled to free speech and respect from public servants though.
Hey ATA. Thank you for your ever educational and entertaining content. May you please cover the Malcolm Zigler police interaction? It will be highly appreciated. Thanks again
Lol, he just let him drive off without insurance....or a drivers license... most wouldn't feel this was a good thing if their family member was killed or hurt by him.
This is a very good point, and while I thought that the officer was amazing I don't think letting this person carry on driving without a license or insurance was the right call.
A license doesnt stop someone being hurt or killed. I dont know why he was let off either but I dont see the logic in your argument in regards to licensing
Just a curiosity here. After watching many of these videos, the cops always state that they cant be involved in civil matters. So, how can they write tickets for civil infractions, such as this, when they are supposed to enforce criminal law? All opinions are welcome.
I appreciate the "Sovereign Citizen" logic, but when this guy T-bones someone else's car by accident and doesn't have the 34K to pay the repairs and medical bills for his victim, the other person is SOL.

I usually agree with everything you say but demonizing sovereign citizens as dangerous is ludicrous. What do you base this on? The one shooting involving a sovereign citizen and a son? When they shot a cop? You might as well say black people are unstable and dangerous.
This is the most ridiculous and biased "audit the audit" I've ever seen! Why are you defaming this man by referring to him as a "sovereign citizen", a group you refer to as a "violent domestic terrorist organization"? He never mentioned or claimed any connection. He has plead his position in court and won. He explained this, which the officer verified (conveniently edited out), and was released because what he said was true. I can't believe you tried to feed us that, "he didn't argue and let him go in the interest of having a better relationship with the man in the future" nonsense. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? And you gave him a "bad grade" because he studied the law and was able to articulate those facts in the courtroom and on camera in the street? Pull your head out.

Cop needs to do his job. Dude could have had warrants for murder
@@bigisrick I'm pretty sure it was obvious that the guy has dealt with the local police often and this officer probably has heard about this guy from other officers. You want police officers to suspect every person they pull over of being murderers?
I don't agree. The cop needs to do his job. Its illegal to drive without a license or a license plate. And then he refused to offer ID... so he broke the law, and then told the cop he isn't going to comply at all and the cop let him go.... cop should be fired, this cop is the type to not try and stop an active shooter, or not run in a burning building, this is not the guy you want when you call for backup.

That's an excellent officer. Odd situation, but excellent officer.

Agree this officer was an example to the rest.
while i agree this encounter went well, officers shouldn't be expected to be angles to citizens. Just recently in my state an officer pulled over a man and was extremely nice to the man and as the officer was walking back to his car the suspect shot and killed him. The officer knew he had a gun but gave him too much respect. RIP that officer, the criminal was shot later.

this should be the golden "standard". Almost all the other officers shown on this channel are simply "unsuited".

@@sambest4707 not having insurance doesn't make somebody drive worse, and states are slowly getting rid of "car inspections" because they're proven not to impact crash statistics, and only impact the mechanics wallet. Some states are keeping "emissions" which obviously don't factor in.

Man, that flashlight in the eyes crap is so foul. I'm a respectful person and I'd like to look you in the eyes when speaking to you. How long do you need to keep the light in my eyes? How does that make the situation any better?
Flashlight is pointing at the hands of the guy, as it’s supposed to be so there’s an immediate assessment of threat (if it occurs)
I thought about hooking up a bunch of LEDs and mount them on my car panel and if a police officer shines his light in my eyes I use a push button with my foot to blind his ass! Bahaha
I noticed that as well. I live in my car and I hate it when police have their floodlights on my car and then come up to me and just keep their flashlight shining directly in my eyes while talking to me when I'm obviously just sleeping in my car.

The fact it was on THIS site is the part that amazed me the most........
It's so rare to see this type of good policing! But it's out there!! They just have to stop supporting the bad cops!!
Resisting an extremely nice person is MUCH harder than resisting an overly aggressive one. I learned this in SERE. You can no longer play the victim card in the heat of the moment and any hostility displayed by you, makes you the aggressor.
Facts. SERE school is a gem for real life application.
For this reason, HUMINT specialists are almost always some of the NICEST and most patient people you will ever meet in your life. The kind of person who can become friends with anyone; because who isn't willing to let their friends in on some dirty little secrets, right?
@@stephenthompson7362 Oddly enough HUMINT specialists are generally concerned with avoiding undo attention. Being aggressive is counter productive as it gets you noticed.
I am unfamiliar with any of those acronyms. However that sound dishonest and manipulative. Pretend to be nice verbally push the other person to act aggressive then win? Like i said i have no idea what your talking about. But is that the jist?
@@shhh7549 SERE is an acronym for Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape and HUMINT is Human Intelligence for the Army. Basically, the tactics used are on a sort of scale. It takes far more energy to express aggression and in turn, can make a situation go left far more quickly which isn’t what you want if you want to survive or gather information. You wanna approach a person who is potentially hostile without triggering a fight or flight response. Frightened people are highly unpredictable and that makes them more dangerous.
Give this officer a medal! He has commendable interactive skills - polite, respectful, and he actually takes the time to listen and affirm which nowadays seems incredible. Wish he could be cloned for police departments across the country - at the least, he should be hired to offer training videos that are required.
This officer is the best I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I’d buy him a drink or something if I could, we need more like him.

The officer and the driver I think were very respectful of each other.

@@32266ms In that situation the best thing the cop could do is the exact same thing he did in this video, but leave him with a ticket for running a red. Why do I say that? Because the driver mentioned he's perfectly comfortable explaining his side of the story to a judge.
A better question would be, what if it was the same driver in the same situation, but the cop was less reasonable than this one was - what should the driver do?
@@architeuthis3476 I don't really know what to say. How about asking how experienced you are in the world. How old are you? I don't want to sound harsh, but I don't see another way. Bad people lie to get out of trouble. And bad people exist. I think the reason the cop was reasonable here is because the infraction was tiny. If you run a red light, I think the cop needs to see your DL and verify insurance. Cops aren't allowed to let a driver without a license and insurance continue driving. So, what if the cop gives a ticket based on whatever name the driver gives and doesn't verify insurance - then the driver goes to the local bar, gets drunk, and kills a family while he's traveling? That kind of stuff happens. The cop would be roasted and the PD sued for millions. What's the responsible thing for the cop to do?
To your question - it's simple, comply. Compliance is what you do. If you have no DL, you're not driving away. The car will get impounded. If the driver has no ID at all he will probably get arrested. We live in a nation of laws and laws are to be followed. We don't just make up the rules as we go along because we know better. You don't just say that law is dumb, I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm right and you're wrong. That's a recipe for conflict - that's what you do if you want to get in a fight at a bar.
Is it hard to follow the law? Know your rights. Also, know your responsibilities. Every right you have is somebody else's responsibility. Stand up for your rights and uphold the rights of others. Be responsible.
@@32266ms Wrong. Compliance may be the simple answer, but isn't necessarily the best answer. This entire channel is about the balance between asserting one's rights and compliance.
@@architeuthis3476 Thank You. But I think non-compliance with a tyrannical cop can get you killed. So, comply, record, and fight in court. Being "Dead Right" is a horrible thing! What is a better answer? Knowing your rights and being able to articulate them might be it. But what if the cop is right? Cops aren't automatically wrong. In fact, knowing your rights can help you see when you've done wrong. I agree with your assertion about the intent of this channel. I think the rub on this particular video is to give bad actors another tool to get away with bad acts. There are legitimate Sovereign Citizens I think. But they don't live in communities amongst thousands of people. It's a lazy person that wants all the benefits of living in a developed society and doesn't want to follow the laws that are there to keep the peace and ensure that society continues to exist. It's "I have rights and no responsibility". I think this is specific to 1st world countries.

The Constitution does not need to exist for these rights to exist. It's a philosophical stance.

the traveler is 100% correct. I've seen letters written by state AG's to their DMV office regarding right to travel and that it is in fact true. I've seen videos of judges also basically admitting to it, without fully stating it on the record, and dropping charges so there is no evidence of him ruling in a traveler's favor. If you can articulate it all properly and be honorable with the judge, he will respect you taking the time to actually learn the law and always reserving your rights. If you don't reserve your rights, you waive them. People that go down for trying this, do not properly reserve their rights. Because once you state that you are doing so, if you are denied your rights, that's when the police or judge can be liable and in big trouble.

Now how much will be allowed and what will be allowed is a matter of community standards and values. For example, Clark County in Nevada allows gambling but not prostitution. In some state counties, you can't buy alcohol (so called "dry" counties), in others, you can. Again, a matter of consensus.
IMO, the error that so called "libertarians" make is their belief that individuals operate in a vacuum; that their individual actions don't affect anyone else. Sen. Rand Paul found out that's not the case the hard way with his neighbor. While this country does emphasize individual rights, they're not absolute. There are limits. So, my advice (such as it is), is to seek out neighbors and try to change minds and reach a new consensus that can be agreed upon that expand these "liberties" and "rights".

As a former Michigander, I can attest that it is hard for anyone living there. I feel like the LEO in this video is polite because he understands the struggle this man is going through. In Michigan you can either be mad at the world and see nothing change or just put your head down and get by.
@@j0m017 Hard living is an excuse to not follow the law? Hard living means "driving" magically becomes "traveling" WTF? I dont think its facism to require folks to have a valid license and registration when operating a motor vehicle. We were poor growing up, and for a bit, actually homeless. Sure it was tempting to steal food just so we could eat, but we didnt. We never broke the law or declared soverign citizens just because things were "hard".
A force for good? He's not even a force! He refused to protect his community by enforcing basic safety laws.
Promote this officer! The professional, humble and respectful way he carried himself is worthy of respect. Every video that I have watched evolving sovereign citizens and law enforcement usually ended with the driver being dragged out of the car beaten or tazed arrested and the car impounded. Thank you officer your are an honorable man and you have my respect
This officer has got something "English" about him. Every encounter (3 in total) I've had with the police in the UK has been respectful. I watch a lot of US police interaction videos on TH-cam and most of them show the US police having ZERO de-escalation skills. It's frightening. This cop brings much needed respect to the badge.
Nah UK police are scum. Worse than the US. During lockdown I saw many incidents of brutality and crushing the rights of citizens. They are filth.
Obi-Won Gardener: “I am not driving; I am traveling.”
Kalamazoo Stormtrooper: “You are not driving; you are traveling; Move along.”
Travel along!
The distinction comes from the legal definition and the commonly accepted definition.
Similarly to how the Facebook corporation is a legal person, but isn't a human being.
I find it odd that Mr Gardner is given a C- while others are given an A while going off the rails with what seems a sole effort to end up winning a lawsuit.

This is the best summary of sovereign citizens that I've seen.
I had no idea they were an actual, legit group lol. I’ve only ever heard “I’m a sovereign citizen” when some obnoxious person is getting arrested for refusing to step out of their car or something.
Sovereign citizen is an oxymoron, n-e one who truly studies law and knows the definition of each word in it's entirety would know to never use these 2 words 2gether 2 describe themselves, trouble ensues when they do.
If he still uses his common law name than he isnt a "sovereign" citizen. It seems like he still does since we know him as Mr. Gardner
Just a “few bad apples”.
'Sovereign citizen' is oxymoronic. You morons.
I replayed the ending to the encounter like 20 times in a row so far lol, what an awesome moment that probably changed his thought of the police completely.
This body cam footage should be required viewing at police academies. This officer is beyond impressive.
Why didn't I think of this earlier? Just rip the plate off and never deal with traffic tickets.
The smile on Mr. Gardener's face at the end. This was an awesome interaction
Wow, this officer is genuinely nice! He was able to keep both himself and the sovereign citizen calm and collected. This encounter could have gone pear shaped in a New York minute in the hands of a less skilled LEO. Hats off to this guy!
Respectful sovcit respectful cop. One of the best interactions I’ve seen.
"I'm not driving, I'm traveling"
"Thats great sir. Just need to see your licence to operate a motor vehicle"
Anything that your apply for a license for, you must lawfully be able to do outside of that licensing framework, otherwise that license is giving rise to unlawful activity.
@@Kawlinz what?
@@christaylor9095 why can you get a license to drive a vehicle but you can't get a license to break and enter?
@@Kawlinz because one does immediate, intentional harm to another and one does not.
@@christaylor9095 right. One is lawful, and one isn't. The only thing that makes driving without a license unlawful is paperwork, and the government's decision to make it so.
The sovereign citizen conspiracy movement continues to be one of the strangest things to witness out there.
I'm intrigued
it's not necessarily a CONSPIRACY movement. you don't have to believe all that gold standard stuff to know that driving is an obvious RIGHT, not a privilege.
to move and travel freely is the very ESSENCE of liberty. without freedom of movement, no other rights can be fully exercised.
"no person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". that means the government cannot prevent you from traveling, by means of your own personal property, unless they prove via due process of the law that you're doing something illegal.
making it ILLEGAL for anyone to travel via their own private property, unless and until they meet any and all government restraints on every aspect of that travel, is a de facto deprivation of liberty.
further, conditioning travel upon consent to being summarily detained without cause at any given moment by government is de facto deprivation of liberty. it is the exact OPPOSITE of liberty- it is forcing innocent citizens to forfeit their right to liberty, and many other basic rights, without any due process. for example, requiring you to identify yourself to government for the purpose of investigating you, without any reasonable suspicion, solely because you are traveling via your own personal property, is a violation of every aspect of due process.
private cars are how americans get where they're going. it's usually the ONLY way to get where you're going. and if you are deprived of getting where you need to be, you are deprived of everything else you have the right to do.
to understand why government required permission for EVERY ASPECT of private travel on public roads is such a huge violation- no, NEGATION- of liberty, imagine it was 200 years ago and you were riding your horse instead of driving your car, and just by virtue of riding the horse, HAVING DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL, you can at any moment be stopped and questioned by the law- identification? license? registration? title? insurance? vin? where ya headed? ...ridiculous to imagine.
weirder yet, imagine that, in order to legally ride your horse, you had to obtain government permission (and pay them) to own the horse, and seperate permission and payment to ride that particular horse, and seperate permission and payment for you yourself to ride ~any~ horse.
ask yourself, why do you have to 're-register' your car every year?
why do you have to get a new license every few years?
why do you have to turn over your title and have a new one issued whenever you move to another state?
why have courts ruled that whenever you are in your private vehicle on a public road, ALL of your constitutional rights are void or dramatically restricted?
why can the government summarily TAKE your car from you for the most minor of violation?
this guy and his ilk have a solid point.
I consider it a conspiracy movement because the foundational principles are based on a belief that they can renounce citizenship from a Federal corporation that doesn't exist OR that they believe, falsely, that they can selectively reject portions of the Constitution based on some pretty wild interpretations of legal precedent. Being that they are essentially anti-federalist anarchists, some of their government end goals are very similar to small government libertarian minded people. There's nothing inherently wrong with those end goals; however, the way sovereign citizen true believers go about those goals, for instance by separating themselves from the so-called corporate "strawman entity," are completely unsound.
To put it another way, the sovereign citizen movement is a trap for libertarians. Like other conspiracy theories it creates false simplified explanations for the situation we find ourselves in and, even worse, it proports to offer a solution. Their legal argument is completely baseless and has resulted in serious legal consequences for some of the people who buy into their movement.
This is different from intentional civil disobedience. People who intentionally break the laws to draw attention to what they see as unjust are making an educated decision and knowingly putting themselves at risk to further their cause. As long as they do not deprive liberty from anyone else, I don't really hold any ill will against people for civil disobedience, they know what they are getting into. Sovereign citizens are not making an educated decision to break the law in order to change it. They are operating on a mistaken belief that they have discovered a sound legal argument in defense of their principles and they suffer needlessly for it. Ultimately their goal of greater personal liberty is undermined by a perpetuation of false beliefs.
(Side note: I don't entirely believe in removing Driver's licenses but I do agree that the State far outsteps their mandate to enforce public safety in the sheer number of personal liberties they demand we "voluntarily" give up in order to be licensed. It should be treated as a right, not a privilege. That said, your horse example: a man being stopped and questioned where he was going, why, and whose horse he was riding? ABSOLUTLEY something that would have happened all the time in historical community-level policing. Especially if you were a stranger. Residents and whatever passed for law enforcement (bailiff, sheriff, townswatch, ext...) would be very invested in knowing why you were riding through their town/city/on the kings road ext...)
@@Felcaster great analysis. as i said, the weird conspiracy part, and the end result, is indeed fruitless and twisted.
that said, i... {ahem}... hate to beat a dead horse, but no frontiersman would cotton to having to produce government papers showing the horse belongs to him, another paper to prove the horse has government permission to be on the roads, another paper to show that the government is allowing him to ride his horse, etc. i'm gonna go ahead and say it: i would imagine that they would reckon they were being approached like a slave.
we should be issued a license to drive, which should be permanent unless and until it is revoked for cause. we should get title once per vehicle no matter where we move- the way it stands, being forced to turn over your title to have a new state title it, feels like we are giving the state legal claim to our car. we should not need to 'register' the same car over and over- or at all. i worked at dmv in one of my lives and i still don't see the point or need to 'register' the same car every year.
most importantly, we should not have to give up one ounce of property or privacy rights, or any other rights, while on the road. we literally pass only at the pleasure of an array of government agencies out there trying to pick us off the road. it's insane how eroded our constitutional rights have become. people don't know and don't care- until it affects them.
Thanks. Please beat as many dead horses as you need, I'm always happy to learn.
I hear what you are saying, but I do not know if I would consider American western pioneers as an example of a functional government. They are a pretty diverse group, but I agree that a lot of them were fundamentally opposed to government oversight and taxation for various political or religious reasons. They weren't exactly sanctioned so much as they just stayed ahead of Federal government oversight. They actually created a lot of headaches: Violating Native American land treaties and then getting bailed out by the Federal military; Californian gold prospectors disrespecting individual land grants; Illinoisans lynching Mormons; anything to do with slavery; ext...
That's besides the point though. I'm picking up what you are putting down, the vehicle licensing that so many people accept as the norm is in fact a very recent and invasive invention.
I have nothing to add to your breakdown of what State licensing laws should be. I agree. I worked as a compliance manager for a repossession company in the past. There *are* laws that treat vehicles as private property, we followed them when RV's or trailer homes were being used as someone's primary residence. That was rare, but it was a perfect example of how it is fully possible to enforce an individual's rights; a corporation's rights (like a bank loan); and the State's obligation to protect public safety, without requiring Citizens to surrender any essential rights.
Much respect to the officer in this video. I think it’s say to say I speak for all the citizens of the United States of America that we wish ALL officers would be so humble and respectful towards us and I wish ALL auditors would be so humble and respectful as the man pulled over. This world would definitely be a better place!
There is no such thing as a "sovereign citizen" You can not be Sovereign and a citizen. That is an oxymoron.
And you notice how he didn't think he needed a DL but was all about reserving his rights.
There is such a thing as a Sovereign Citizen, the word is an inside joke about these fake constitutionalists , their whole "its an oxymoron'" thing was started because they got tired of cops instantly recognizing them and completely shutting down their script before the 40 minute mark, they know they are clowns and wanted to avoid the stigma that come by default with the title so they cry and whine about it. Also what does the word being an oxymoron have to do with anything in the grand scale of things, oxymoron's are common place in the English language such as virtual reality, Jumbo Shrimp, only choice and almost perfect and are completely acceptable
Yes!! Finally someone that knows the law. People don’t understand that being a citizen is the problem. You can’t be sovereign and a citizen.
Ya well, plenty of oxymorons in America

A very positive and peaceful interaction, that man is a very well-composed officer.
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. Two people treating each other with kindness and respect. It doesn't get any better than that! This officer deserves a huge raise!
I always love it when they bring up the Magna Carta
Sir, I don't need a license, I am a boat captain. /s
Sir I don't need a licensed I am a pilot
In Federalist #84, Alexander Hamilton says that our Constitution is based on 5 previous documents.
1. 1100 Charter of Liberties.
2. Magna Charta
3. Petition of Rights
4. Grand Remonstrance
5. English Bill of Rights
So there is some validity in bringing up the Magna Carta. To understand your Constitution, you need to also study these documents and the history that goes with them.
As a Kalamazoo residence this video makes me proud. The Kalamazoo police department seems to be doing something right in training and hiring.
Yeah the driver was certainly eligible for tickets and car impounded, whole nine yards. The very nice cop checked with other cops who knew him, he didnt say exactly what they said bit I would guess it was to the effect of. Yeah we know him, arresting him will be more trouble than its worth..hes on secondary streets near his home. Let him go.

@@RandOmdudeon lol omg
I live near Kalamazoo and I’m definitely happy to see how this was handled
I love how you explain everything bro like damn you realize your a teacher better than most teachers in the world.
Today I’ve watched a Battle Creek encounter with a Calhoun County Sheriff’s Deputy who scored an ‘F’ and was eventually FIRED, now a Kalamazoo Public Safety Officer who scored an A+. For those geographically challenged, Kalamazoo County and Calhoun County are next to each other in Southwest Michigan and are significantly different and independent from one another.
I wonder if the officer has like a no ticket Tuesday or something. Kalamazoo’s future Chief of Police right there.
"It's unclear whether Mr Gardiner made a complaint"
What? Why would you even think that?
someone had to file for the video release, for some reason, someone did do that. the most common reason would be a complaint about the circumstance, however the entire video seems positive. it's very likely it was mr. gardiner, but probably not to complain. it's unironically probably for his own collection of 'evidence', he believes he is essentially his own nation, and would need it to defend himself and add to his profiled manifesto for future arguments and examples of his 'exemption'. Sovereign citizens are the karens of the legal system, he is somewhat delusional despite being polite and kind, and so demanding to have a copy of the police officers bodycam even with no incident is completely in the norm for them. ATA is referencing why the video exists at all with that statement, it's not a coincidence most police interactions recorded and released are negative, they are intended for scrutiny itself, and so when someone files for the camera footage of an interaction like this, to some degree, you do have to wonder why. It's not like the police released it.
Amazing officer! If more were like this, it would really improve communities as a whole.
Finally ... a good Cop ! He deserves an A++
Ego is the #1 reason getting cops in trouble and costing PD's across the country. This officer's interaction was exemplary of what it means to serve the public.
This is the first time a police officer received an A on Audit the Audit as far as I've seen,, I wish all police offices was like this guy👍👍 Some people just don't have hate embedded in them..
Just wait to he gets into a motor vehicle accident with someone, with no insurance or registration. Then we’ll see how happy this narrator is.
Tow this fools car . Don’t want him to hit me
The driver must be in disbelief upon being let go like that.
You’re 6’5” & 202lbs?! What a titan of a man
Jesus Christ! At 5'5" and 100lbs I am such a midget ☹️
That isn’t a heavy weight for that height
I was 6'7 and 254 lbs a couple months back, cut down to 225 now.
Lucky Duck what did you cut your height down to?
220 lbs is average for 6'5" if they're a weight lifter. 200 being the normal weight and 25 lbs of muscle being the average growth for the first year of working out.
---
Also larger frames put on muscle pretty poorly. So, even if they had 30 - 35 lbs of muscle, they would need good genetics to get volume. (though none of this affects strength)
I still can't wrap my head around how this "sovereign citizens" should work even with your long explanation. That officer have a huge patience and so polite to deal with the matter.
It's a rare treat, Kudo's to him.
Basically its a religion based off a fake conspiracy theory that has no actual real meaning, which is why it's so difficult to understand for a person with a functional brain. But that doesn't mean sovereign citizens aren't entitled to free speech and respect from public servants though.
What kind of discretion will be used when he totals someone’s new vehicle while having no insurance?
Hey ATA. Thank you for your ever educational and entertaining content. May you please cover the Malcolm Zigler police interaction? It will be highly appreciated. Thanks again
Lol, he just let him drive off without insurance....or a drivers license... most wouldn't feel this was a good thing if their family member was killed or hurt by him.
This is a very good point, and while I thought that the officer was amazing I don't think letting this person carry on driving without a license or insurance was the right call.
A license doesnt stop someone being hurt or killed. I dont know why he was let off either but I dont see the logic in your argument in regards to licensing
Just a curiosity here. After watching many of these videos, the cops always state that they cant be involved in civil matters. So, how can they write tickets for civil infractions, such as this, when they are supposed to enforce criminal law? All opinions are welcome.
By specifically doing it on behalf of a city/ region.
BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION.
The Office was incredible.
I appreciate the "Sovereign Citizen" logic, but when this guy T-bones someone else's car by accident and doesn't have the 34K to pay the repairs and medical bills for his victim, the other person is SOL.
It shouldn't be 34k to begin with; why is getting a Kidney Stone removed 100k without insurance?
we shouldn't have never gutted out transportation system for the benefit of auto manufacturers so people wouldn't be forced to drive everywhere. Then you wound't have a problem with people who can't afford to drive or shouldn't drive causing problems.
