our daughter was 16 in a car accident. The police dept called me because she refused to answer any questions. when i got there she as sitting on the curb. i walked up asked police was there anything else needed from her, he said she would not give a statement? Correct she is not required to and knows her rights. She handed them insurance card and DL. She texted me immediately. YES, she listened to us.
very good. I am a lawyer and he's got it right. 1) always ask, "am I free to leave". keep on saying it. 2) I object to searches, I object to being arrested, I object to being detained. Whatever the police want to do, object to it; 3) if they reach for the tazer, say "I have a heart problem and you cannot Taze me" doesn't matter if you don't have a heart problem, if they Taze you, you will, plus a whole lot more problems. Women can say they are pregnant. I think I may be pregnant and you cannot Taze me. A woman can be between 12 and 90 and you can say this. 4) I do not answer questions, I do not answer questions over and over.
I cut it down a little bit because I don't want to have to explain myself. As you well know, cops are not the sharpest tools in the shed. As a matter of fact, they are often the dullest. Anyways, this is usually how it goes for me. #1. Do you know why I stopped you? #2. I don't answer questions. #3. Where ya' headed? #4. What part of "I don't answer questions" don't you understand.

Remember that phrase “outside the normal traffic stop”. Unless you have an attorney on speed dial, or you actually have something to hide, don’t antagonize cops.
1. I do not consent to searches. 2. I am not answering any questions. I want to speak to an attorney 3. I do not agree to stay here with you for any reason. Are you detaining me? Am I free to go?
This is how i say it: 1. I do not consent to searches of any kind 2. I do not answer questions without a lawyer present 3. Am i being detained or am i free to go?
then you goto jail for wasteing the publics money time over a video and only harressing cops for Lawsuits, leave them alone and sell your ammo in the sticks, not in a park and get away with it,. yall fucked

Dude, you're literally my favorite lawyer ever. Even better than Saul Goodman. Your a badass. I actually want to get pulled over just so I can assert my rights like a boss. The words " I want to get pulled over " have never been uttered in that order by me EVER

Yes sir.. and Why does that matter? Is he teaching you how to defend yourself from a Mail Carrier? NO! sir, he’s talking about handling yourself in an incident regarding (Law Enforcement) Not sure why it meant so much for you to point that out. God bless you brotha.
this is a very informative video as these situations happened to me as a 24 yr old. Cops pulled up on me while i was sitting in my car eating a burger and drinking a shake. They proceeded to ask me every single question you mentioned in this video. At the time i didn't know my rights so i went along with it and they searched every inch of my car and work bags... and when they couldn't find anything they called in a k9 unit to further search the car. I had to stand in front of the police cruiser while an officer pointed a gun at my face telling me not to run or else they'd shoot. They even took the burger i had and tossed it on the ground. After they still found absolutely nothing they were like "you're free to go " and they drove the hell off. No explanation. No apology. I felt so violated, i just drove home crying. All because i simply didn't know my rights being young. That was about 9 years ago.
You have much courage. Sending a prayer up for you and your loved ones to be safe and secure. Many swine won’t like you posting this. Please believe you helped many people just by doing so. Shalom
Having listened to this attorney make his pitch, how would you like to hear some real world truth? I have been arrested, and beaten by the police, for insisting on a search warrant for my apartment. Then they took my keys, let themselves in, and searched my apartment. I spent about 27 hours in jail, and had to spend a bunch of money on an attorney to fight thru 2 court cases to keep me out of jail. Constitutional rights are great, but they don't mean squat on the street. Even the judge would not let my attorney talk about Constitutional rights and search warrants in the trial, told us that he would find us in contempt and throw us (my attorney and I) in jail if we raised that topic. These video attorneys can rant and posture all that they want. But the bottom line truth is that they will not be there when you have to deal with the police on the street and you try to stand up for your rights. And you don't have to have broken any laws to be arrested. Yeah, the attorney will be happy to take your case and represent you in court, as long as you are paying their hourly rate. Another harsh truth that you will probably learn? The truth and justice are not the same thing. Think about that one for a while.
@@texasfossilguy One lesson that I have learned long ago, and this applies especially when opposing C&C Denver attorneys, (but I suspect would apply in any case where it is a private citizen vs the municipality) is that if you represent yourself in court it will not matter whether you are guilty or not, (right or wrong) you will be found guilty of whatever you have been accused of. In this instance Denver was offering 10 days if I would agree to plead "No Contest" (credit for the one day already served awaiting for bail to be processed, probably have to serve 6 more with good behavior). Why would I ever agree to any kind of plea? Especially if I didn't break any laws? Especially if that deal included time behind bars? That was to big of a risk in my opinion to try and represent myself again. If I had tried to represent myself, C&C Denver was bound and determined to have me spend some time in jail. The DA had come in to the courtroom and had a private conference with the judge right before the trial commenced to explain how they (Denver) needed me found guilty of something/anything so that I could not sue them for police brutality. That was why the judge would not allow us to raise the issue of constitutional rights and no search warrant. Denver was also gambling that I would not be able to afford to pursue this case beyond district court where they could influence the outcome. On that count they were right, I did not have the means to finance additional legal fighting. If you are poor, then justice does not apply to you as much as if you have money. So in short, no. Hiring an attorney actually did keep me out of jail. And several months later at a separate trial when Denver tried to have my seized property condemned, that same attorney was able to force Denver to return that property. And for the record, the seized property was a legally sawed off shotgun.
After reading a lot of the comments below I just want to say WOW! Scary what people will do with honest information. Thank you for the video, I subscribed.
I happen to live in Tulsa. So, just be clear. . . If I ask, "Are you detaining me?", I point the little sword at the police officer. But if I ask, "Am I free to go?", I wave good-bye with the little sword? Ok! Got it!
All I want to say is thank you for this videos. U can't imagine how many people u r educating about their rights! Many innocent people get harassed and r accused for something that they have not done, especially the minorities. Again thank you very much! U deserve the respect of all the people because u r helping people, simply, they don't know their rights and u r reducing the chances of the bullies.
The only rights you have are those you are willing to fight for, and ONLY if you have the wherewithal to go the distance. And then there is still no guarantee.
I always tell them “ no dissrespect but i wouldnt understand the laws if you read them to me im not an attourney and it seeems like im in a bit of trouble and dont want to get myself in more trouble so i will plead the 5th and not answer any questions until i speak to a lawyer i feel like i could accidentally get myself in trouble cause i dont understand the way the laws are written and i dont want to say the wrong thing”
Thank you for posting these videos as a professional in your field. I believe every American should know this information and I plan on watching every video myself.
You're not an American if you listen to this pseudo-lawyer and think you don't have to abide by the police's lawful instructions in this country. You're a TRAITOR.
Thank you for your hard work on behalf of The American people and our endangered Constitution. I'm excited to receive my "Know Your Rights" cards and carry them in my wallet. GO JAY GOOOOOO !
If you consent to searches they can sesrch anywhere. If they have a warrent they are limited to the items listed. Makes a big difference especially if they're looking for a person. They can't look in you're jewelry box for a grown man.
Big warning at 5:44 do not use NO before saying I do not consent to searches. It could be misconstrued. Thus to the question : Can I search you car? Refrain from an enthusiastic NO. Just say I do not consent to searches. Very tricky... Thanks for posting.
You seem to be a pretty good lawyer. Very friendly. A lot of people don't know this, or just forget it when they get in front of the police because of intimidation. Thanks for the reminder!
Jay, thank you for the series and educating the masses on the basic to God given rights we are born with. We as citizens should be taught these three things in Jr high school, unfortunately we aren't, and most people don't have a clue that ignorance of the law is no excuse. once again thank you. you have a new subscriber as well.
I'm drawing up a personal body cam that's unnoticeable and easy to activate as soon as you encounter the fuzz, this product needs to be in everyone's hands
Gene, what body cam is that?? Anytime I encounter them and start recording, they do their damndest to turn it off. I would love to record them and not have it disrupted by them???
Jay, I am a 1st amendment auditor and activist. I'm linking all of your videos on my TH-cam channel! This kind of work is dependent on knowing your rights! I'm going to be spreading your videos and recommending your channel to thousands of Auditors around the country. We are currently trying to set up a non-profit fund to help with court costs and bail etc. For auditors who are wrongfully arrested. Any suggestions on that subject would be greatly appreciated. We're getting attorneys all over the country lined up to help us😎🤘👍💪
Love the series. I've watched this one in particular several times over the past few years but it needs an update to #2. It absolutely does matter how you ask for a lawyer. There's a case out of Louisiana a few years back where a suspect asked for "a lawyer, dawg" and the judge ruled against him in court. If there is any ambiguity the cops will pounce on it. Even saying WANT may be too unclear. Say demand or something like it instead.
Outstanding advice. With regard to speaking and assuming the police are on the up and up, they are still human, subject to mishearing what you (the suspect) says or misinterpreting a comment. I would add, be polite. The danger here is that not talking WILL PISS OFF THE COPS. They may even "detain" you out of spite or frustration. Ultimately however they are not the district attorney and have to PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT your "guilt". Not only do not talk to cops, know your criminal justice system and rights.
I am still a minor but I feel its important to know my rights, but I just wanted to remind you that not all cops are bad. Just yesterday my dad, brother, and I met a police officer at a gun store. He was really nice and joked around with the employees and my dad. He was a good guy.
they are human beings, not all human beings are bad. but when any authoritarian figure approaches you thats when you should be defensive and practice your rights. remember, when they approach you, they had plenty of time planning their approach and they try to catch you off guard like a deer in the headlights so your weak and vulnerable.
That isnt how it works, im a minor too. When I say all cops are bastards I mean they're all part of the same rotten system, not that they're bad people individually. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, and the police force is a basket with several dozen bad apples in it. Sure, that cop may have acted nice, but he's still probably going to work everyday, joking around with people that joined the force to abuse power and kick civilian's asses, arresting people on marijuana/ drug charges, etc.
Thanks, Jay for taking time out of your day to make this video. We need more people like you, and I look forward to watching future videos. Thanks. again.
Good video, and I agree with you 100%! I was a police officer for over 24 years, then Workers Comp sent me to college, when a line of duty injury put me on the disability list. I became a paralegal, graduating at the top of my class, however what attorney in his right mind would hire a disabled former police chief who is over 50 years of age. A total wast of time, but it was a fun 2 years, and I learned a lot that would have been very useful if I had been able to get back to work as a cop. Now I am (presumed) retired by the bureau, they cut my paycheck in half, but still we have enough to return to our winter quarters at an RV park in Arizona. Anyhow getting back to your video, I loved it, wish I could get one of your cards, because people are always asking me about such things when they learn of my background, and they would save me countless hours trying to explain to just plain common nomads what they should do if they have an encounter with law enforcement, no matter what the circumstance. By the way, love the bayonet!
That's too bad. You have a lot to offer especially to a criminal defense law firm. What about working for an insurance company in the claims department as an investigator. In other words, please don't give up. Your experience, training, education and age are valuable asserts.
An excellent, comprehensive, to the point teaching. WTF.. some of you can't sit still for 18 minutes and ABSORB WISDOM. GOOD FUKIN LUCK TO YOU. Thank you Jay.!! Thanks for caring about us, to do this.!!
I'm so mad about my cat being locked in jail because she didn't consent to a search. I'm still trying to pay her bail. Jokes aside, there are more and more cops surfacing that they really don't care about any of this. Camera or no, they'll force themselves on you, threaten you and overall abuse their power. Also you sound like you can do a kickass hank hill impression.
That's why this is more important than you realize you are losing your rights and freedom everyday a lot of good men and women died so you can have these rights don't let them go to waste
Love it. I am getting sick of this police state I am so sick of cops lying about everything they do. They are worse and worse every yr. Everyone needs to stop being sheep and letting there scare tactics put fear in citizens.
You just got a new Subscriber... Loved this presentation and wish you were licensed in Alabama. I need an Attorney for a major case that's full of rights violations. 😔
Very educational video, more content like this needs to be put out there for citizens to educate themselves with. The blade was a nice touch by the way 😂
One indispensable right, predicated on the Fourth Amendment, that he omits: "You can't seize anything from me--phone, camera, car, bike, backpack, merchandise, containers--without a search warrant or subpoena."
Thank you, Sir. I'm from South America and I'm having some issues which i don't quite understand, this video has been really useful in case of my fears become true despite the different legislations. Have a great day
Your constitutionally protected rights are inalienable rights they cannot legally be given or taken away. Inalienable Unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor. Unalienable Another term for inalienable.
thanks dude, ever since we got out of school cause of coronavirus, I totally forgot about these rights, 😭, -June7 it’s going all good me watching this video :) thanks dude
If I may add your video was in fact 15 minutes. 3 and a half minutes covered your introduction. Just wanted to add my observation to compliment confidence and timing promised. Thank you for the tips 😊
I'm so happy to get educated. I'm at 33 yrs old and am being harassed by a officer and neighbor but no one does anything. Even lawyers do nothing. I have now spent over 4 grand in legal fees for my innocence. And am so tired I wish I would have taken that money and moved. He's even taken my puppy. I live here in a nightmare right now afraid to let my children play outside.
Cooperation or honesty with cops never helped anyone. Truthful responses are always used to arrest and incriminate. "Make no statement to the police under any circumstances." --Justice Robert Jackson, distinguished American jurist

So in short, no. Hiring an attorney actually did keep me out of jail. And several months later at a separate trial when Denver tried to have my seized property condemned, that same attorney was able to force Denver to return that property.
And for the record, the seized property was a legally sawed off shotgun.
That’s why you invest in cameras my dude.
NeoCreo this was in 1988, before cameras. Also my arrest and beating happened out in the apt. building’s hallway, so that affects things as well.
big K Oof, yeah. Not much recourse in that situation.
After reading a lot of the comments below I just want to say WOW! Scary what people will do with honest information. Thank you for the video, I subscribed.
These are pretty much my thoughts exactly. What the hell's wrong with people. You give the cops an inch they're going to take a mile.
Not to mention that they dont know shit unless you tell them!! No matter what they say or how much it sounds like they already what u have done.
He has a Facebook page. Jay k Ramey attorney at law. I like it.
@@russr5128 good lookin out yo!
Nah. mans really pulled out a sword
A bayonet.
If a police officer even tried to take my cat, I'm getting locked up because I don't play that shit.
😂
10:59 best line! if I ever need a lawyer, this is the guy I’m gonna seek. Keeps it real! Thanks for the lesson, very informative
I happen to live in Tulsa. So, just be clear. . . If I ask, "Are you detaining me?", I point the little sword at the police officer. But if I ask, "Am I free to go?", I wave good-bye with the little sword? Ok! Got it!
All I want to say is thank you for this videos. U can't imagine how many people u r educating about their rights! Many innocent people get harassed and r accused for something that they have not done, especially the minorities. Again thank you very much! U deserve the respect of all the people because u r helping people, simply, they don't know their rights and u r reducing the chances of the bullies.
I think everyone is a minority to rhe cops now days
I love that he using a sword as a pointer lol
The only rights you have are those you are willing to fight for, and ONLY if you have the wherewithal to go the distance. And then there is still no guarantee.
Loving the bayonet pointer. Friggin awesome!
GREAT ADVICE JAY ! Thank you for your time and knowledge of the rights we still have and NOT TO GIVE THEM UP !
Seriously this guy needs more recognition.
*Better Call Ramsey!*
I always tell them “ no dissrespect but i wouldnt understand the laws if you read them to me im not an attourney and it seeems like im in a bit of trouble and dont want to get myself in more trouble so i will plead the 5th and not answer any questions until i speak to a lawyer i feel like i could accidentally get myself in trouble cause i dont understand the way the laws are written and i dont want to say the wrong thing”
Thank you for posting these videos as a professional in your field. I believe every American should know this information and I plan on watching every video myself.
You're not an American if you listen to this pseudo-lawyer and think you don't have to abide by the police's lawful instructions in this country. You're a TRAITOR.
+jkutyna you a sheep lol
you a sheep. Excellent english there buddy. Well done. I bet you make your parents proud every day with such exemplary language skills.
I'm a former Deputy Sheriff...You rock Sir & thanks for informing the public..Much love.
You sir are amazing!! Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for your hard work on behalf of The American people and our endangered Constitution. I'm excited to receive my "Know Your Rights" cards and carry them in my wallet. GO JAY GOOOOOO !
If you consent to searches they can sesrch anywhere. If they have a warrent they are limited to the items listed. Makes a big difference especially if they're looking for a person. They can't look in you're jewelry box for a grown man.
Big warning at 5:44 do not use NO before saying I do not consent to searches. It could be misconstrued. Thus to the question : Can I search you car? Refrain from an enthusiastic NO. Just say I do not consent to searches. Very tricky... Thanks for posting.
15 turning 16 learning my rights woot woot
You seem to be a pretty good lawyer. Very friendly. A lot of people don't know this, or just forget it when they get in front of the police because of intimidation. Thanks for the reminder!
This are excellent rules to follow. Thank you
This started a bit slowly but ramped up quickly. Great facts and energy. Thank you!
Come back mr Ramey! We need more teaching, I really enjoy learning the law and my rights how to teach. Hope all is well!
Dude dio right off the bat! I'm a fan 🤘
Jay, thank you for the series and educating the masses on the basic to God given rights we are born with. We as citizens should be taught these three things in Jr high school, unfortunately we aren't, and most people don't have a clue that ignorance of the law is no excuse. once again thank you. you have a new subscriber as well.
I'm drawing up a personal body cam that's unnoticeable and easy to activate as soon as you encounter the fuzz, this product needs to be in everyone's hands
Gene, what body cam is that?? Anytime I encounter them and start recording, they do their damndest to turn it off. I would love to record them and not have it disrupted by them???
Jay, I am a 1st amendment auditor and activist. I'm linking all of your videos on my TH-cam channel! This kind of work is dependent on knowing your rights! I'm going to be spreading your videos and recommending your channel to thousands of Auditors around the country. We are currently trying to set up a non-profit fund to help with court costs and bail etc. For auditors who are wrongfully arrested. Any suggestions on that subject would be greatly appreciated. We're getting attorneys all over the country lined up to help us😎🤘👍💪
Love the series. I've watched this one in particular several times over the past few years but it needs an update to #2. It absolutely does matter how you ask for a lawyer. There's a case out of Louisiana a few years back where a suspect asked for "a lawyer, dawg" and the judge ruled against him in court. If there is any ambiguity the cops will pounce on it. Even saying WANT may be too unclear. Say demand or something like it instead.
I'm going to make these videos until I get tired or die I like that mindset brother keep up the good work shalom
I am so glad i came across your channel......Thank you for educating us.
Thank your sir... may God richly bless you😩🤗..... I would love one of those cards
Outstanding advice. With regard to speaking and assuming the police are on the up and up, they are still human, subject to mishearing what you (the suspect) says or misinterpreting a comment. I would add, be polite. The danger here is that not talking WILL PISS OFF THE COPS. They may even "detain" you out of spite or frustration. Ultimately however they are not the district attorney and have to PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT your "guilt". Not only do not talk to cops, know your criminal justice system and rights.
I am still a minor but I feel its important to know my rights, but I just wanted to remind you that not all cops are bad. Just yesterday my dad, brother, and I met a police officer at a gun store. He was really nice and joked around with the employees and my dad. He was a good guy.
I'm also a minor. I advise you to educate yourself on how our rights are slowly being taken away from us.
they are human beings, not all human beings are bad.
but when any authoritarian figure approaches you thats when you should be defensive and practice your rights.
remember, when they approach you, they had plenty of time planning their approach and they try to catch you off guard like a deer in the headlights so your weak and vulnerable.
That isnt how it works, im a minor too. When I say all cops are bastards I mean they're all part of the same rotten system, not that they're bad people individually. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, and the police force is a basket with several dozen bad apples in it.
Sure, that cop may have acted nice, but he's still probably going to work everyday, joking around with people that joined the force to abuse power and kick civilian's asses, arresting people on marijuana/ drug charges, etc.
@@algrayson8965 This, this right here.
Thanks, Jay for taking time out of your day to make this video. We need more people like you, and I look forward to watching future videos. Thanks. again.
Lmao i love this guy's impersonation of a cop laughing 😃 😂 spot on!
This video needs to go viral! Great explanation of the basic rights. Well informed.
Good video, and I agree with you 100%! I was a police officer for over 24 years, then Workers Comp sent me to college, when a line of duty injury put me on the disability list. I became a paralegal, graduating at the top of my class, however what attorney in his right mind would hire a disabled former police chief who is over 50 years of age. A total wast of time, but it was a fun 2 years, and I learned a lot that would have been very useful if I had been able to get back to work as a cop. Now I am (presumed) retired by the bureau, they cut my paycheck in half, but still we have enough to return to our winter quarters at an RV park in Arizona. Anyhow getting back to your video, I loved it, wish I could get one of your cards, because people are always asking me about such things when they learn of my background, and they would save me countless hours trying to explain to just plain common nomads what they should do if they have an encounter with law enforcement, no matter what the circumstance. By the way, love the bayonet!
Jerry Ericsson not really a waste of time, what about to educate people?
how many American citizens got their rights violated .
@ Jerry, yeah why not be a teacher or something? Surely your age wouldn't affect getting hired in education.
That's too bad. You have a lot to offer especially to a criminal defense law firm. What about working for an insurance company in the claims department as an investigator. In other words, please don't give up. Your experience, training, education and age are valuable asserts.
Jerry Ericsson bullshit
An excellent, comprehensive, to the point teaching. WTF.. some of you can't sit still for 18 minutes and ABSORB WISDOM. GOOD FUKIN LUCK TO YOU. Thank you Jay.!! Thanks for caring about us, to do this.!!
I'm so mad about my cat being locked in jail because she didn't consent to a search. I'm still trying to pay her bail.
Jokes aside, there are more and more cops surfacing that they really don't care about any of this. Camera or no, they'll force themselves on you, threaten you and overall abuse their power. Also you sound like you can do a kickass hank hill impression.
This is old news, but now everyone has a smart phone.. even teens
@@ashleyosorio8452 The violence isn't what's new. Smartphones are.
That's why this is more important than you realize you are losing your rights and freedom everyday a lot of good men and women died so you can have these rights don't let them go to waste
The police sure are forgetting these rights now ...👀
Love it. I am getting sick of this police state I am so sick of cops lying about everything they do. They are worse and worse every yr. Everyone needs to stop being sheep and letting there scare tactics put fear in citizens.
Hype Hillbilly wut
Thank You for your public service, very important message, that's needed to be heard by all the people, bless you for teaching the masses
You just got a new Subscriber... Loved this presentation and wish you were licensed in Alabama. I need an Attorney for a major case that's full of rights violations. 😔
They should really teach this in school!! Great job!❤
Thank you for all that advice I hope you have many more shows and I will be sending for your card
Very educational video, more content like this needs to be put out there for citizens to educate themselves with. The blade was a nice touch by the way 😂
One indispensable right, predicated on the Fourth Amendment, that he omits: "You can't seize anything from me--phone, camera, car, bike, backpack, merchandise, containers--without a search warrant or subpoena."
Only search warrant.
DEAR GOD! I lol'd hard when you made the post it note pun. BUT THEN YOU PULL OUT A DAGGER!!!!!! Hahahaah
Bayonet. Lol 🧐
Him impersonating the officers is the funniest most on par shit i ever heard in my life
Thank you, Sir. I'm from South America and I'm having some issues which i don't quite understand, this video has been really useful in case of my fears become true despite the different legislations. Have a great day
This about the 4th5th and the 6th amendments of the supreme law of the land.This is very good advice.
You are an American Hero, I will send all my friends and family to watch your vids, thank you sir
Your constitutionally protected rights are inalienable rights they cannot legally be given or taken away.
Inalienable
Unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor.
Unalienable
Another term for inalienable.
You have the best presentation pointer I have ever seen
thanks dude, ever since we got out of school cause of coronavirus, I totally forgot about these rights, 😭, -June7 it’s going all good me watching this video :) thanks dude
Sure would have been good to know this before I was pulled over! I screwed up royally on all 3!!
Great presentation I subscribed as your points are right on. Thank you!!!
If I may add your video was in fact 15 minutes. 3 and a half minutes covered your introduction. Just wanted to add my observation to compliment confidence and timing promised. Thank you for the tips 😊
That was a cutting-edge presentation. Thank you.
He speaks like the nutty professor when he's nervous 🤣i love it!
Wow... eye opener. Thanks
I'm so happy to get educated. I'm at 33 yrs old and am being harassed by a officer and neighbor but no one does anything. Even lawyers do nothing. I have now spent over 4 grand in legal fees for my innocence. And am so tired I wish I would have taken that money and moved. He's even taken my puppy. I live here in a nightmare right now afraid to let my children play outside.
Cooperation or honesty with cops never helped anyone. Truthful responses are always used to arrest and incriminate. "Make no statement to the police under any circumstances." --Justice Robert Jackson, distinguished American jurist
Thank you ❤️ please keep making your videos
Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to try to educate people....
Hey J! Thank you for being a true Patriot! I will share your channel on my +Google page. God Bless you Sir! You are a Man amoung Men for what you are giving to us in your videos. Thank you for your service to your country because that is exactly what you are doing...Serving your fellow Americans. CARRY ON! :)
If you ever decide to make a in-depth video for 3+ hours long on constitutional rights, I support you and greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
I am in CA and just found your channel. I subscribed to learn more. Right On!
