PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION
My very first checkpoint ever. to preface this, i would like to say, no i am not harassing the cops, it is obvious they harass me once they realize i'm exercising my rights. I am not looking for trouble, rise, or lawsuit. i would love it if every encounter went completely uneventful, unfortunately they tend to go like this http://thefreethoughtproject.com/man-illustrates-film-police-catches-cop-hell-hidden-camera/ .One video i have seen an immigration checkpoint where the citizens respectfully declined to answer questions and the border patrol agent said he applauds them for exercising their right and most people don't or don't know about it and told them to have a great day, and you can tell it was genuine. watch that here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrfY547vaLw
in this video, within 10 seconds of the stop one trooper attempts to open my door and tell me to "get out of the car dude." they say they cant hear me which is why i need to roll down the window, but if my GoPro in its waterproof housing can pick up the audio that well, they can hear just fine. then i am 'detained' for a vehicle inspection. they attempt to get me out of the car again, i decline, which prompts one trooper to tell the other that ' oh yeah i think he needs to get one [citation]' then as i am about to be free to go, a 3 year old speeding ticket is brought up, then im threatened with "if i ever see your car on the road im gonna pull you over"
they never noticed but i did have my firearm on my right hip, which i think if my doors were unlocked and was pulled out at the beginning like attempted, someone probably would have shouted gun, and i would have been thrown down, tazed, or worse. always lock your doors.
Always be respectful! with encounters and on here. take the high road. i will not tolerate any comments like 'f**king pigs' 'cop needs to be shot' or anything like that. comments like that will be deleted and you will most likely be blocked.
This is for education, to educate the people of their rights for which most do not know they have.
