This post is in response to this one: http://www.ubersite.com/m/109886, in which an uber-user complains about an encounter with overzealous police and his resulting incarceration.
The following website and video should be required reading/viewing for everyone whether you're intending to break the law or not. There is nothing illegal about standing on your rights, and everyone should know what those rights are and assert them at all turns, even in the face of inconvenience. It is our responsibility to assert our own rights. Police are under few or no obligations to inform you of your rights, and there are no laws against them lying to you to get you to say something or do something to incriminate yourself.
The acting in the following video is pretty bad, but it's very informative: (video 45 min.) http://tinyurl.com/3d3nd3
Also, visit the following website for a very good guideline in asserting your Constitutional rights: http://www.flexyourrights.org/frequently_asked_questions#02
I actually learned quite a bit reading and watching these. Hope those of you living in the U.S. do the same, or at least already know all this.

"Face it. Ron Paul is going to win this thing, and even if he doesn't, he's going to shock the hell out of a lot of you."
I haven't seen a reliable poll that's put him over 3%, how you think he's gonna win is beyond me......please be aware that I am using the definition of 'relaible poll' as the rest of the English speaking world understands it, not what it means in your deluded world.

No, I prefer not to get my news from "news" stations. I'd rather just go read a fucking bill myself or look up a candidate's voting record, or look at where he gets his money.
It's very simple, but you are so fucking stupid you can't understand that. It's so alien to you for someone to do his own research and not rely entirely on anyone for news.
I support Ron Paul and intend on voting for him in the Republican primary and the general election because I have researched the man and my other options thoroughly, I have heard them all speak, I have seen their voting records, and I have arrived at the conclusion that Ron Paul is our absolute best hope for turning this country around and getting foreign policy out of the hands of people who talk and think like YOU.
------------------------
Why don't you go back and re-read my comment because you obviously didn't understand it.
My point was that a candidates website is the most biased place you can go to get coverage on that candidate. If I want info on any candidate that is the last place I would look. Ron Paul gets so much traffic to his site (in part) because there is so little real news coverage of him. Does that make sense to you? And lets be honest, you don't have the mental capacity to understand bills in congress.
--------------------
I'll let the comment on my mental capacity to understand congressional bills slide, because I don't have the energy to get into a mental 'flex-off' with your stupid ass.
Sure, I can agree that a candidate's site will be biased to his candidacy. It's certainly not going to say, "hey you should really check out candidate B or C, they are much better than me." But I don't get my information about Ron Paul solely from his website.
And your dismissal of his numbers don't make a damn bit of sense. If he's only getting so many hits because there is so little information on him elsewhere, then why can't the same be said for Tommy Thompson, or Gilmore, or Tancredo, or any of the other "second tier" candidates who don't get the same media exposure as the "first tier"?
Face it. Ron Paul is going to win this thing, and even if he doesn't, he's going to shock the hell out of a lot of you. A gallop poll that says he's at 0% should show you all just how desperate the power brokers have become.
I'm not gonna argue with you about it anymore. We'll see what happens come primary time.

Suddenly everyone is an expert on their constitutional rights. I'd like to see you "demand" anything while under arrest. Trust me, it won't work out the way you planned.
--------------------
That statement right there is a perfect case in point on how cops think.
Nobody said anything about "demanding" anything! You don't have to "demand" something you already HAVE! Yet this guy, who claims to be a cop, looks at a post about the correct way to assert your BASIC AMERICAN RIGHTS, and says, "I'd like to see you try that shit for real...hehehe heheheh hehehehe"
What's wrong with this picture?
You're there to protect and serve ALL citizens' rights, not just the ones you want to protect and serve. No one is saying "don't be nice to cops" here...we're just saying that people have rights they should be aware of and stand up for, even if they've done nothing wrong, otherwise they will waive them without knowing and will find that pretty soon, like now, cops will no longer respect anyone's rights, but will run roughshod over them like it's they're own personal racetrack.
Stop being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. You badge doesn't make you special in any way other than you swore an oath to uphold the rights of citizens and discharge your duties with integrity.
Act like it. Don't sit there and say shit like "I'd like to see you try that in real life," when you know damn well that's wrong.

I like how you ignored the whole bit on you making up crazy theories whenever the world doesn't work out like you think it should. Now if most primary polls are on paper (nothing to do with diebolds, or computer programs made by jews to only call people who favor candidates they like) and Ron Paul still gets no support will you accept that he doesn't have that many followers or make up some new conspiracy?

Watched the whole video - really important and a must for people to watch.
I have just the sneakiest suspicion that Brad and I could get together and have beers and just get totally rat-assed like best friends before going back to fighting on the web.
By the way, Gallup put Ron Paul at 0% this morning.
-------------------
We have a lot of disagreements that I think would be easily reconciled in person. I'm a lot easier to understand with a couple beers in me.
I don't trust the establishment, Anthony. Pretty much everything about me flows from that basic suspicion. It's like a Spidey Sense or something...my intuition tells me something is wrong, so I listen. I take flak for it, and I do not care because I don't follow it to appease anyone but myself. I do not trust my government or the MSM because of the thousands of provable oies they have told in the past, and because of the things they've blatantly ignored in my own lifetime.
Surely anyone could understand that if they really thought about it.

You simply cannot have a candidate like Ron Paul whose website outranks in terms of unique visitors the entire field of other candidates and doesn't even register in the official polls. Something's rotten in Denmark when that happens.
----------------------
If you heard about Ron Paul everynight on the news, do you think you would look up his website? If there were articles about him all over the place by newspapers would look up his website? Most people prefer to find their political info about a candidate from a source other than the candidate. If you only look at candidates websites they all look like great options.
Ron Paul gets so much internet traffic to his site because there is not much else out there about him (most people prefer to get news from real sources not conspiracy blogs).

Do you know how most state do primary voting? Everytime I have voted in a primary it has been with a mail in ballot because I was away. I think, and I could be wrong, that most primaries are based on paper votes (ie non diebold). If it comes out that ron is overwhelmingly behind in the primaries are you going to insist that all the ballots have been rigged, or are you going to accept that the polls are real? It constatnly amazes me how you look at the world around you, pick what you think is going on and continually creat more and more outrageous lies to fit with your psychosis.

I never said it was "Jewish bankers" fudging the numbers. But I firmly believe they are. And I've already told you how they could easily do it.
Put it this way, if they can get a country like the United States to go along with an unjust war based on pure lies without taking to the streets in all out riots, they can do pretty much whatever they want.
This country is NOT a democracy. This is a quiet dictatorship wherein the illusion of democracy and smooth transition of power quells the public opinion while the same powers still control everything no matter who is in control.
I can't help it if people like yourself cannot see that. To me, it's perfectly obvious.
You simply cannot have a candidate like Ron Paul whose website outranks in terms of unique visitors the entire field of other candidates and doesn't even register in the official polls. Something's rotten in Denmark when that happens.
Of course, this will continue to happen unabated for another 50 years before the mainstream starts to pick up on it and by then it will be too late to change any of the unspeakable things to come.
I write this with the full expectation that these words will one day vindicate me and prove you to be the fool that you are.

This is useful, and to be honest, it is necessary for every US citizen to know. Although I'm somewhat conversant in what is a legal and illegal search, I had no idea that handing over your keys is considered consent.
I do have a question for you, ETS. If a cop wanted to search you and you were clean, would you alway refuse? Or would you be willing to cooperate as long as the cop didn't show attitude?
-------------------
Dude, you should know how stubborn I am. :)
I definitely would require a warrant for a search, and if in public I would ask what the problem is and if I was free to go. If they said no, then I could assume I was then within their custody, which absolves me from speaking to them without a lawyer present.
If enough people did this, cops would think twice about harassing people randomly like they do. It's not just about my rights, it's about everyone else's as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'd do my best to be courteous. Most of the time, cops just act through force of habit, and it's become habit for some of them not to have their god-like authority challenged by knowledgeable citizens. It is just as important to inform THEM of your knowledge of your own rights.
These days, I have very very little in the way of criminal charges to fear. I do not do drugs and my wife won't let me drive when I've had 2 or more beers, so chances are very good that if I found myself in a police confrontation, I would be squeaky clean.

I would still resist in the instance that it was an army officer trying to search me in, say, a National Park, which technically probably qualifies as federal land.
------------
A: There would never be an Army officer searching you there. Not our jurisdiction.
B: I said military instillations. Basically, you have no business there if you don't work there.
C: "Upon entering this instillation you cconsent search to your vehicle, person, and possessions at anytime by the Military Police". You can just leave and not be subject to this rule.
But not you. You try to pick losing battles that are clearly within the limits of the law and Constitution just to make yourself out to be a martyr.

I would stand on my rights in a National Park just like I would anywhere else. Sure, I'd probably be arrested for nothing, but that's part of it. """
that's assuming you ever step foot into a National Park.
stop being so fucking dramatic. even if you jumped up and down in front of a police car with your dick hanging out, the cops would probably say "oh, that's just brad again"
you make it look like living in the USA is like crossing the Berlin Wall everyday but I bet you lead a very boring and unexciting life in the heartland of America.

There is one more for searches.
On any Federal Property, there will be signs. Sure the print is small and you may miss it, but they say that upon entering such an area, your vehicle, person, and possessions are subject to search at any time.
For instance: You come onto an Army instillation, you have automatically agreed consent to search. The Military Police never need a warrant.
Most people don't know that and try to fight it in court.

The Supreme Court is a check on power. It should be used as such if necessary. No one should have the right to search me randomly simply because I chose to enjoy some of the beautiful scenery owned by taxpayers such as myself. (Yes, Indo, I'm a taxpayer, get over it.)

I'm too drunk and tired to watch this ATM, but I am always down to absorb this sort of information, so +2. I'll watch it tomorrow (technically later today) once I've sobered up a bit. Also, I just got some 'tang so auto +2.

There is one more for searches.
On any Federal Property, there will be signs. Sure the print is small and you may miss it, but they say that upon entering such an area, your vehicle, person, and possessions are subject to search at any time.
For instance: You come onto an Army instillation, you have automatically agreed consent to search. The Military Police never need a warrant.
Most people don't know that and try to fight it in court.

Same goes for National Parks. I used to see the park police in Biscayne National Seashore continually board boats and search them one by one. We were preparing to launch one day when they came down the ramps and started looking into everybodies stuff. Granted they were always looking for illegal fish people caught or illegal equipment like spear guns, but on this one day they found some weed in the console of a boat and they took the guys in. Sure, they weren't expecting to find a spear gun or fish in the console of a boat, but these guys LOOKED like the sterotypical stoners, and they were commenting on how fucked up it was that the cops were harrasing people.
They gave the cops a reason, always a bad move.

My car is always so clean and empty, it must look like a waste of time to cops. And it is, actually.

You should see the old bill over here in Tenerife. I saw three coppers go all Crouching Tiger on a two gangs of squabbling British drunks. It was awesome.
