Overall, I support the police. I have friends that are cops. However, there are some overzealous people in law enforcement out there who are only too happy to trample you and your rights in the process, if you let them, so if you have something to say, better to say it to your lawyer than law enforcement, since especially if you are the subject of their attention, they are more likely trying to gain evidence to arrest/convict you rather than objectively be listening to you and trying to release/exonerate you.

Interesting tips with pics :)

It is a felony now in some states to record police working so being a good "camera" witness can land you in jail even if it is to record abuse. It may also mean your recording is not permissible.

LMFAO!!!!

This is fucking funny, of all ppl a MD State police and x Baltimore Police should know none of that shit matters!!!

If you do all of the shit they said, you know what they do? They call a bitch ass dog to your car, throw a tennis ball at it, open the trunk and find or plant drugs.

You think I'm lying? Ive had it happen to me numerous times I live in Maryland.

FUCK THE POLICE

So.. what you're saying is that if they can't find your hidden stash, they'll plant their own?

Lamers should do a better job searching then! :winkwink:

holy fuck...illegal to record the police mistreat someone.

time to move into the mountains..lol

Thats it! Im changing my name to Rodney King.

and when you get caught and they fine you, never say dya want cash or can you accept my card. ..

You forgot tip #11

Dont be born black.

Very nice man, ty!

Police make great movie characters, other use I can't think of...

Give them your lawyers biz card and dont say shit, EVER

show me one states law that makes filming a felony...

i believe you are confusing a law about police interference that some states have tried to use...




.

good advice there :thumbsup

You say the cops gave advice about how to deal with cops.
The advice says that cops are allowed to lie to you.
This means cops could have given you the wrong advice.

when i was 17 the cops tried to search my car, i said yes at first but quickly said no. the cop was all excited and exclaimed "I got you! I got you!" I told him I knew my 4th admendent right against unlawful search and seizure and he didn't have anything.

I'm sure he was pissed that a kid with a mohawk and car full of punks got away.

blah, most cops are corrupt and uneducated, even about their own job.

I have a few friends that are cops and they admit that most of them can be bought off with cash over most things... at the end of the day, they'd rather go home with an extra $100 in their pocket then write you a speeding ticket.

however, always look out for the buzz cut military looking ones, they take their job super serious :2 cents:

and you have to watch out for rookies/younger cops.. they seem to be on a mission to prove themselves.

When I went thru the 12 hour course for Concealed weapon carry, They hammered that stuff in us. It was done by a ExCop. Only a small part of the training was about the guns themselves, funny how some people can't hit a target!

fuck the police.

sheeeit.

i love this one. it's always 'mind if i take a look through your car, bro?' and when you refuse then you get treated like you're hiding something. lose lose.

All of that advice could be summarized as follows.

Don't be a idiot/asshole when dealing with an officer of the law.

I got pulled over around 10 years ago and the cop said he smelled grass. I had none on me and had not smoked that day. he asked to search my car and I refused. He then made me wait outside in 10 degree F weather so I couldnt tamper anything while we waited for the K9 unit to arrive.

Once the dog got there all they did was rile it up, have it walk around my car and once it barked they said I had drugs inside. The dog then went into my car, ripped one of the seats and they didnt find shit. I had to put everything back inside in the freezing cold, they threw all contents of my trunk onto the street. The next day I went to the police station and filed a complaint. Nothing happened.

I think the dude was mad because I had fucked his younger sister.

rule 11: stay at home

hahaha.. Now that was funny.

didn't know there were still good cops around....

talking out of your ass here

remember, always be a responsible citizen.

fuck that, i choose to be a living citizen.

I agree with all of this. You have to be really careful around the police, even (especially!) if you've done nothing wrong.

common sense.

Sounds like some good tips to keep cops in check(the out of control power trip ones), keep from getting your ass beat -- and maybe even protect a few cops.

Good post OP... do you have a link to where you got all this from?

i did ages ago :1orglaugh they closed the detachment here years ago, because there is literally next to no crime. the nearest detachment is like 30km away. i actually read this week's local paper the other day and the front page news was regarding the crime report for the first half of 2010. Apparently we're down from the previous year's crime. we've had like 1 assault, 1 drug charge, and 3 stolen property charges, lol. big news! i can stroll down the street at any time puffing a big gagger, and no one looks twice. you can regularly stroll around town with open liquor and not worry about shit. it's not unusual to go down town at midnight and for mainstreet to be shutdown for roadhockey or touch football with 20-30 people standing around getting hammered. i love my quiet inbred whitetrash mountain town.

I think In most states you have to have at least on of the parties consent before you can record their conversation. I doesn't matter if you are recording the police or your neighbor they have the same right to privacy as you do.

bullshit. the police record everything on their dashcams. No consent required.

I read the article in The Huffington Post - 10 Rules Article.

Here is a link to the official 10 Rules website where you can get more info, and purchase the video (interesting website):

The Clash - "Know Your Rights":



I was at that show...for reals! :stoned

Good tips that can certainly help keep you out of trouble. Unfortunately, cops often DO NOT know the laws or else they do, and lie about it.

I was forced to produce state issued ID on my own front porch one afternoon after a cop knocked on my door and demanded to know who I was. He was looking for someone who stole his friends car and apparently this person lived in the rental house I was staying in years before. He made it clear that if I did not produce an ID I would be arrested.

I knew my rights in that situation and tried to refuse, but in the end I lost and was forced to produce ID on my own fucking front porch because he had a gun and I didn't. Might makes right.

Correct.

Its funny what you can do or not get done to you, when you know your civil rights.




We had a big party on a Sunday at my buddy Cravens house. His house is all gated up and the back gate was open just enough to let people in and out.



10 cops showed up and asked for the house owner to step outside the property line. We were all really drunk. I advised Craven that he has rights and i further advised him if he stepped off of the property that he can be arrested for public intoxication. I further told him in front of the cops that they are allowed to lie and will do so to achieve whatever agenda they had today. Trust in the advice i give you and we will be fine.


Craven and i are very close friends and trust was never an issue. But it can be very intimidating when the police make threats, demands and false claims. Which are all part of the game.



I told the cops that you can say what ever it is you need to say from there and we can answer from here.



Then they asked if they can come in. I told Craven to say "no." Then they claimed that they found someone that left the party with drugs and that they can go get a warrant to search the premises then we could all be arrested for what ever any of these people had. But if we let them in everything would be OK. (keep in mind, i think xxxjay was there too).lol



Craven looked at me and i shook my head and said go ahead and get your warrant. And good luck to you not pissing a judge off on a holiday weekend. I knew it wasn't going to happen because there was no probable cause and if there was, they would have already entered the premises.


Then they tried to get Craven to step off of the property again and i recommended that he step up to the property line and not to step over. I was getting a serious laugh at these 2 arrogant prick cops attitude when we would tell them "NO" while i was sipping my beer.


The cops then told me to shut up multiple times while they try to talk to my drunk house owner friend. I told them that "I will not shut up and nobody will be stepping over the property line anytime soon."


This went on and off for 3 hours. They kept asking for the house owner to come talk and kept asking for permission. I was there for every instance.



Cops then said that they were going to wait outside and find things to arrest people for as they leave the party. I said, "you guys have fun doing that". And i asked "How does it feel that none of your lies and bullshit will not work today?"


It was 3pm and the cops wanted to break up the party for no reason what so ever. Noise complaints dont kick in until 10pm


Nobody was leaving and we were having a blast and the cops could not do shit to stop it besides wait outside. I let 2 hours past then i pretended to be the house owner and called the watch commander on duty and filed a formal complaint. I also detailed what the cops said they were going to do to my exiting party guests.


Not even 10 min. past and the cops left. I made sure to wave to them as they were leaving.


I made sure that everyone who did leave was sober or had a sober ride. Nobody got arrested and nobody even got pulled over. We finished at 3am. Im guessing the cops that came to the party, their shift ended and the complaint that was started and the next day finished had something to do with it.



Im all for the police doing their job, but not at the expense of my civil rights. And these guys were trying to throw there authority around at the wrong party.




Knowing and understanding your Civil rights is a serious must!!

When I had a hot rod pick up, I got pulled over for loud pipes, he told me they were too loud, I told him I had them measured at 106db and 112db was the max. I had no idea what I was talking about, but his bluff didn't stand up to it.

LOL you think so.

Do your own research or call a good lawyer. Look at the links in my second post.

RULE #11
DON'T fuck a cop's sister -- or wife, or mother, or daughter, or dog, or....
:thumbsup

Here in Australia things are a little more tame when it comes to cops, sure there are some corrupt police about, but there seems to be just a little bit more of a sense of fair play than there appears to be in the USA

That list is cute and all but every situation is different

the abuse of power here is quite rampant
