Dealing with tons of crazy drunk people is worth it if you get free ice cream. Also--shameless plug--I'm hoping some of you might like the music I make too :)
But if you do so thing that the public does not like even if it is the right thing or you are forced to then everyone will hate you, but at the same time there is free ice cream, so who cares
Soon the flood of people screaming about how you're a bad person because all cops are bad will flood in, not understanding the joke at all. Your fate is inevitable.
@@Topdawg42 And the more you comply to the police's requests the faster you get to continue on your drive unless you truly have something to hide in your car.
@@Topdawg42 the state of things is ridiculous enough without that. The advertised intention of police is to be professional law enforcement. Requiring people to exercise their rights at risk of personal delays, injury, or worse because cops don't always remain professional is a bad idea in my opinion. It would make a lot more sense for cops to *actually* receive reprimands for inappropriate conduct.
@yea_ok142 yes you can and it's worked so many times 🤣😬 no crime no id... It's as simple as it gets. They need RAS of a crime to get Id. Even in stop and Id states, there's atleast RAS needed to initiate the "stop and Id right now" Statute. Even then, if they answer yes to that question well just let them dig their own grave....
They are not supposed to protect us? Protect and serve THE STATE, not the people. Supreme Court upheld multiple times they have no obligation to render aid or save civilians. Pigs exist to ticket and arrest you. Nothing more. Don't act like pigs are heroes. You are their enemy and they WILL treat you as such.
Got stopped just a few weeks ago while driving my brother's car. My parents (who are addicts) were using it beforehand and had substances in the car. But the reason for the stop was to train the officer on how to conduct searches. When I denied them the search they brought the k-9 out and it got a hit. Luckily I was able to let them know what was going on and they didn't find anything anyway because my brothers and I had cleaned it out before I started using the car. Turns out, some substances can leave a scent in the car for up to six months. Make sure to deep-clean your cars when you get them back from friends and family.
Also, drug sniffing dogs are off and wrong and can also be deceitfully instructed to false-hit through subtle commands or the mere fact that they want the reward.
@randallsmerna384 well, the thing is, I believe it was a real hit. Luckily there wasn't anything in the car, so I didn't get hit with anything other than a written warning. Had there been anything in there, I would have been screwed.
No they can't. If the drugs were out of the car the dog didn't smell anything. They MADE that dog have a hit. Which is another lying tactic they use. Know your rights.
"If you got nothing to hide, then you won't mind me searching your vehicle." "But if I have done nothing wrong, then why do you want to search my vehicle?"
In that case, can I search your car? Seriously, I have nothing to prove either. The law states the burden of proof, is to the state. If you allow him to search, he's asking you to help him do his job, and to prove you guilty.
How often does "Am I being detained?" actually get answered with "no" by the cops in these situations? And since when do the cops care about not being able to "legally" keep you longer than the purpose of the stop?
well, with the detainment thing, if they say you’re being detained but don’t have an actual reason to do so they’re going to get butt fucked in court. and if they keep you at a stop too long for a false or nonexistent reason, anything illegal they do find will be thrown out in court.

They are not your friends and they only want to arrest you. Your rights are your friends. Do. not. self. incriminate.
And they can just decide to not believe you anyway. I once got held up at a completely unprovoked stop on my way to work. I turned right onto the road they stopped me on, and stopped after less than 200 feet. They said I had come from a neighborhood half a mile away and "people who look like me" only go there for drugs. Meanwhile I'm in my work uniform and presented my ID with my address on it, and you can see both my house and my employer from the place they stopped me at. It was a half mile drive to work and I was 45 minutes late over that nonsense while they brought out a dog, lied about it signaling, and destroyed my car searching for drugs I didn't have. Ftp.

@@doctorcatnip2551 wonder how that works in states where weed is legal. If the driver doesn't presently look high and there's no paraphernalia readily visible would it be a defense? Maybe it's 4pm and the driver did a wake n bake at like 10 then was on his way to the store without changing clothes.
Actually, that first part is really helpful. No, you don't HAVE to answer the cop's questions. But if you are cagey and defensive over those basic questions, it might make the situation worse. Best to answer with the least amount of words possible.
Do not tell them anything but present yourself as curious about why they pulled you over. Do not be combative but do not give them any information. "Nothing more relaxing than a long drive" works. The idea is to just get off with a warning for the broken taillight he does not know if you know anything about.
I think there needs to be a huge caveat that even if you are legally correct with how you respond, never resist an officer when THEY are violating the law. Even if you say all the right things, there is no guarantee that the cop will respect your boundaries. Don't risk your life.
Yeah. That's not how that would go. You'd get yanked out your window and your car seats slashed for daring to stand up to them. Speaking from experience.
I live that we're talking about hiw to deal witg cops the same way we deal with wild animals. "While you can decline to answer, getting all lawyery with a wild police officer may cause them to become more agressive."
I tried this once and the cop didn’t answer if I was detained or free to go. He just walked back to his car and didn’t come back until a K9 was there. This works in theory, but if they want to they will search your car
I have literally watched a cop say "the k9 in 25 min away, that seems reasonable" after pulling over dude doing 10kph UNDER speed limit. Dog didnt alert and they let guy go after like 45 min
@znerd3664 no, not here in canada atleast. Your 100% allowed to go 40 in a 50. I think if ur doing like 20 or something you can be ticketed for impending the flow of traffic

@@jeremyporter897 I understand you've never been confronted by a cop when you've done nothing wrong, but believe it or not it does happen. There is a reason one of the fundamental principles of the American justice system is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty." Authority finding excuses to fuck with people just because they can is obviously not a problem just criminals have, because 300 years ago the dudes who literally founded your government knew this was how innocent people become the victims of those in power. But if you wanna lick boots just cuz you like the taste, then by all means keep attacking everyone except the person standing on your face.
@@jeremyporter897no, more like because cops are all on power trips and shit bricks whenever you exercise your constitutional rights instead of allowing them to violate your privacy and completely destroy and ransack your car for no reason. any time people refuse a search the cops all of the sudden ‘smell weed’ and then search the car anyway (which is a violation of the fourth amendment, and it is also a crime to make up probable cause that doesn’t exist.) go take your bootlicking elsewhere
@@thefreshexpress8615We know it's a skit knucklehead, the possibility of a cop calling a K-9 in real life over something so trivial is still very real though
This lawyer: "Oh you ran over a child and want to get away with it, be fucking disrespectful to the officer and kick his nose in, it will get you free"
Don’t cops usually say “yes I’m detaining you” and don’t give a reason as to why by dodging the question or make up some random crime. What can we do then?
if they say you’re being detained, you just record at that point and stop speaking. if there’s no legitimate reason the cop is already fucking up, at that point you let them continue and you deal with things in court.
I thought this short ended with the cop being sad saying he just wanted ice cream, with the dispatcher saying: "Do you still need the K-9?", with the cop saying: "No, just the emotional support dog please."
@peachesrambo4037 america is a free nation. of course it has flaws like every nation, but you can sue a cop that is detaining you without a reason. (and i dont even live in the us so this is not just me being patriotic)
Yeah you "can sue" and yeah America is a "free nation" but a majority of the time a judge will side with the cop and it'll just be you paying a lawyer money for nothing.
There have been plenty of payouts from these lawsuits. The thing that most often will occur (in the situation you guys are describing) is the police agency you're in a suit with will eventually (sometimes very quickly) make an offer to settle. The majority of people will take that offer, or if the initial offer is too low, will take a subsequent offer for a higher dollar amount, depending on the specifics of the case. Yes, you do have to pay an attorney (they don't usually work for free), but oftentimes you'll find one who is willing to take the case with an agreement of being paid a percentage of your settlement. That will usually be about ⅓ of whatever you get. So, in the end, you'll keep about ⅔ of the settlement. Now, depending on the actual lawsuit, the specifics of what actually occurred, and the evidence you have to show what happened, we can be talking about a very large sum of money in a short period of time. Law enforcement agencies have insurance policies for civil litigation. So, that is where this money comes from. I know it's a common belief that the police just take money from taxpayers to pay out these settlements and then continue abusing people, but that isn't really what happens. This not only will make their premiums increase, but people in their jurisdiction will often know the name(s) of the offending officer(s) and demand they be let go. If the agency is generally good, they'll fire the officer(s) regardless of any protests. So, if something like this happens to you, don't not act because you assume nothing will ever come of it. Try to make sure there is evidence, such as a recording you made during the incident. Don't just count on obtaining the body worn camera recording during discovery, as they sometimes have a way of deleting the footage 'totally by accident'. Then, contact some attorneys. Many have free consultations. Hopefully, that's helpful. If Mike (or any other attorney) sees this and wants to jump in here, he can certainly add more to this. Especially if they want to get into the weeds of section 1983. This isn't legal advice, and I'm not your attorney.
they can legally use a k9 on your car, but they need to have reasonable suspicion to do so. they can’t just say ‘i feel like searching your car but you won’t let me so i’m gonna make the k9 false alert and do it anyway (they actually do this most k9s will literally alert on command) ‘ they’d need to have some form of legitimate suspicion
I once got pulled over and I told them I am going to the movies with friends and he said ok and made me wait 45 minutes for a k9 that never showed up and then sent me in my way and I was late for my movies so I didn’t go because was half way through
A lot of cops cant stand it when people know their rights. They can make things difficult for u 1 way or another, its still not level playing field. Even if ur completely innocent & haven't done anything wrong, u ask them questions, theyll find or think of sumthin to jam u up & if u miss a court date then ur cooked when u never did anything wrong to begin with. Tell me how thats fair? I know what a lot of people r gonna say, life isnt fair. Dont u think certain aspects of it should be? I guess it really really helps if u dont have any priors, the older u get, & they can see that it has been quite awhile since youve been stopped by sum1.
yup, you can trust any given american cop to be a good person just like how you can trust the devil to not try and trick you when you make a bargain with him.
I had a headlight out and was driving home from work at night (headlight was being shipped so nothing i can do) saw a cop pull out behind me so i decided to pull over to get it over with. The cop thought i was trying to avoid him which is understandable. He asked where i was going i said home and he said why did you pull over, told him because i wanted to get the headlight issue dealt with because i knew you would pull me over. He searched my whole car and me, kept me for about 20 minutes and after he found nothing still didn’t admit that I could be telling the truth, that i was hiding something. I wish i knew mikes tips then😊
Yeah, except where Im from doing this is when they rip you out of the car, pepper spray you, charge you will resisting, and leave you in the ER. Yeah sure, the charges against you eventually get dropped, but the cop goes on like nothing happened, meanwhile you lose your job because you cant work for 2 months while your ribs and face are broken. The damage is done and the bully cop gets to go about his day. But being completely compliant to minimal shit, even to technically unlawful orders, increases the chances of making it home alive.
I've seen enough videos from real interactions with cops to know this will have you slammed on to the ground with two cops debating how to best frame you for drug possession
I could only find a handful of cases in which EMT's were charged with murder. There isn't much info. However, the U.S. has 1,057,100 active firefighters. *100* of them are arsonists. That's approximately 0.00009% of all U.S. firefighters that START fires.
@@LHYO505 That's why I worded it as "charged with murder," to keep the language a bit loose. (To be fair though, I still couldn't find anything on intentional deaths.)
@@CrocsDinerAjA problem is still a problem, and it exists. We can't figure out if a cop is good or corrupt until we get screwed up over nothing. The best decision is not taking any chances.

@@doctorcatnip2551 wonder how that works in states where weed is legal. If the driver doesn't presently look high and there's no paraphernalia readily visible would it be a defense? Maybe it's 4pm and the driver did a wake n bake at like 10 then was on his way to the store without changing clothes.
Actually, that first part is really helpful. No, you don't HAVE to answer the cop's questions. But if you are cagey and defensive over those basic questions, it might make the situation worse. Best to answer with the least amount of words possible.
Say who? Stop trying to guess what will be and just say the words. You have zero control over what someone will think or do in a give situation.
Do not tell them anything but present yourself as curious about why they pulled you over. Do not be combative but do not give them any information. "Nothing more relaxing than a long drive" works. The idea is to just get off with a warning for the broken taillight he does not know if you know anything about.
I think there needs to be a huge caveat that even if you are legally correct with how you respond, never resist an officer when THEY are violating the law. Even if you say all the right things, there is no guarantee that the cop will respect your boundaries. Don't risk your life.
That's why you always gotta record
There are tons of videos of cops getting aggressive with people just for exercising their right to record...
Yes, don’t resist, record, then hopefully GET PAID !
@@Fiery154 Exactly! Let them fuck up by themselves, then sue.
Is this kind of thought process that keeps these tyrants employed. Fight for your rights or lose them
I've done that and it just pissed them off,they will make something up even if you haven't done anything
youre not supposed to be rude about it

He just wants to compare glocks.
@@pharafelixfamily5904the a is next to s, obvy a typo
First mistake was being black lmao
Instructions unclear officer is *lubing* a baton.
Yeah. That's not how that would go. You'd get yanked out your window and your car seats slashed for daring to stand up to them. Speaking from experience.
I did this and got deported
Aw the K-9 could be a support dog too!
But they are always aware of their surroundings
K-9 dogs are abused to become police dogs. That's the truth. Dont support legalized animal abuse.
Unless the cop gets a power trip and detains you illegally and searches anyways. Seen a lot of this crap
If a cop ever ask where you’re coming from always say “I was just smoking some meth with the homies”
You should be a lawyer
I'm not sure, but I THINK that would be one of the faster ways to get arrested.
"Bro, I am literally covered in fentanyl" then bolt while they pretend to have a seizure.
Cop: you're free to go.
2 secs after to the radio: The suspect is a black male.....
💀💀💀
HELPP 😭
See this is a perfect scenario and a reasonable cop. In real life they won’t cooperate
I live that we're talking about hiw to deal witg cops the same way we deal with wild animals.
"While you can decline to answer, getting all lawyery with a wild police officer may cause them to become more agressive."
Task failed successfully: I watched this video infront of the cop
Who tf cares
Did he approve? 🤔
No 😔
@@Lifewastakened oh bummer. Some people need to get a sense of humor!
People might believe that this is a joke but I was being serious
I tried this once and the cop didn’t answer if I was detained or free to go. He just walked back to his car and didn’t come back until a K9 was there. This works in theory, but if they want to they will search your car
I have literally watched a cop say "the k9 in 25 min away, that seems reasonable" after pulling over dude doing 10kph UNDER speed limit. Dog didnt alert and they let guy go after like 45 min
Can't you legally get ticketed for going 10 under unless it's like inclement weather or you're pulled to the side with your hazards on
@znerd3664 no, not here in canada atleast. Your 100% allowed to go 40 in a 50. I think if ur doing like 20 or something you can be ticketed for impending the flow of traffic
"Ugh fine, you're free to go." *leaves*
Kinda feel like this would realistically end with glass shattered all over you and taser prongs imbedded in your skin
All because youre a criminal who was caught lol
True, the cops have never violated innocent people's rights. @@jeremyporter897
@@jeremyporter897 I understand you've never been confronted by a cop when you've done nothing wrong, but believe it or not it does happen.
There is a reason one of the fundamental principles of the American justice system is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty." Authority finding excuses to fuck with people just because they can is obviously not a problem just criminals have, because 300 years ago the dudes who literally founded your government knew this was how innocent people become the victims of those in power.
But if you wanna lick boots just cuz you like the taste, then by all means keep attacking everyone except the person standing on your face.
@@jeremyporter897no, more like because cops are all on power trips and shit bricks whenever you exercise your constitutional rights instead of allowing them to violate your privacy and completely destroy and ransack your car for no reason. any time people refuse a search the cops all of the sudden ‘smell weed’ and then search the car anyway (which is a violation of the fourth amendment, and it is also a crime to make up probable cause that doesn’t exist.) go take your bootlicking elsewhere
Nah, they be like "we're getting a backup and jail will be your home"
"Well i smell weed! So you're waiting for the k-9!"
If they smell weed, they're not waiting for K-9. You're getting out then and there
"This is my private domicile and I will not be harassed"
How far have we fallen that exercising your rights to anonymity and not helping with their harassment is called "getting lawyerly"...
Cop: "where you comin from?"
Me: "from your moms house" 😂
“Yeah, I mind” 😭
Instructions unclear, I’m in the hospital with 3 gunshot wounds
I want the cop to be more aggressive. Bring on the cash cow lawsuit!
They just unload the their glock in your chest lol
Bro really had to call a k9 for a ice cream 💀
Shut up
No, it's a skit
@@thefreshexpress8615We know it's a skit knucklehead, the possibility of a cop calling a K-9 in real life over something so trivial is still very real though
He's hungry

@@tomatimahlwhat
Don’t cops usually say “yes I’m detaining you” and don’t give a reason as to why by dodging the question or make up some random crime. What can we do then?
You can't do shit.
if they say you’re being detained, you just record at that point and stop speaking. if there’s no legitimate reason the cop is already fucking up, at that point you let them continue and you deal with things in court.
I thought this short ended with the cop being sad saying he just wanted ice cream, with the dispatcher saying: "Do you still need the K-9?", with the cop saying: "No, just the emotional support dog please."
But what that officer didn't know was law by mike had 2 pounds of meth in the trunk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The thing is… the officer is never gonna say “ you free to go “ they’re always gonna say you’re being detained
if they do without a valid reason you can sue them, and they propably know that.
@@FRBFStudioslol yeah right, maybe in a free nation.
@peachesrambo4037 america is a free nation. of course it has flaws like every nation, but you can sue a cop that is detaining you without a reason. (and i dont even live in the us so this is not just me being patriotic)
Yeah you "can sue" and yeah America is a "free nation" but a majority of the time a judge will side with the cop and it'll just be you paying a lawyer money for nothing.
There have been plenty of payouts from these lawsuits. The thing that most often will occur (in the situation you guys are describing) is the police agency you're in a suit with will eventually (sometimes very quickly) make an offer to settle. The majority of people will take that offer, or if the initial offer is too low, will take a subsequent offer for a higher dollar amount, depending on the specifics of the case.
Yes, you do have to pay an attorney (they don't usually work for free), but oftentimes you'll find one who is willing to take the case with an agreement of being paid a percentage of your settlement. That will usually be about ⅓ of whatever you get. So, in the end, you'll keep about ⅔ of the settlement.
Now, depending on the actual lawsuit, the specifics of what actually occurred, and the evidence you have to show what happened, we can be talking about a very large sum of money in a short period of time.
Law enforcement agencies have insurance policies for civil litigation. So, that is where this money comes from. I know it's a common belief that the police just take money from taxpayers to pay out these settlements and then continue abusing people, but that isn't really what happens. This not only will make their premiums increase, but people in their jurisdiction will often know the name(s) of the offending officer(s) and demand they be let go. If the agency is generally good, they'll fire the officer(s) regardless of any protests.
So, if something like this happens to you, don't not act because you assume nothing will ever come of it. Try to make sure there is evidence, such as a recording you made during the incident. Don't just count on obtaining the body worn camera recording during discovery, as they sometimes have a way of deleting the footage 'totally by accident'. Then, contact some attorneys. Many have free consultations.
Hopefully, that's helpful. If Mike (or any other attorney) sees this and wants to jump in here, he can certainly add more to this. Especially if they want to get into the weeds of section 1983.
This isn't legal advice, and I'm not your attorney.
I wish it was like that in real life.🤷🏻♂️
it is like that in real life
Instructions unclear I got shot
Next time don't be black
And never forget, that canine is a part of a search, and if they detain you for the dog, take them to court
they can legally use a k9 on your car, but they need to have reasonable suspicion to do so. they can’t just say ‘i feel like searching your car but you won’t let me so i’m gonna make the k9 false alert and do it anyway (they actually do this most k9s will literally alert on command) ‘ they’d need to have some form of legitimate suspicion
The way they would kill half of us for this
"are you detaining me?"
"Sir step out of the vehicle"
Law by Mike "No. Yeah I do mind" Cop "😮"
I once got pulled over and I told them I am going to the movies with friends and he said ok and made me wait 45 minutes for a k9 that never showed up and then sent me in my way and I was late for my movies so I didn’t go because was half way through
" well that's very f*cking suspicious "
Bottom text
Asserting the 4th amendment shouldn’t be considered suspicious
I tried this in my country and i was sent to jail for 18 months
That's pretty stupid of you, American laws only apply in America. Also Take note Americans, your laws and rights don't apply in a foreign country
"Where are you coming from?"
"Back that way."
A lot of cops cant stand it when people know their rights. They can make things difficult for u 1 way or another, its still not level playing field. Even if ur completely innocent & haven't done anything wrong, u ask them questions, theyll find or think of sumthin to jam u up & if u miss a court date then ur cooked when u never did anything wrong to begin with. Tell me how thats fair? I know what a lot of people r gonna say, life isnt fair. Dont u think certain aspects of it should be? I guess it really really helps if u dont have any priors, the older u get, & they can see that it has been quite awhile since youve been stopped by sum1.
Please use grammar we can all understand 🙏. I get what your saying but I about had a stroke trying to read it
@@serqothis2775 sounds like a you problem
Don't say, "I'm traveling".
Tell the cop "I came from yo mommas house, I'm on my way to your sister's". That usually gets a laugh, trust me
Yes if you're 8 years old
Cops will just say I smell weed or alcohol and guess what they can hold you...
yup, you can trust any given american cop to be a good person just like how you can trust the devil to not try and trick you when you make a bargain with him.
Getting shot speedrun
I had a headlight out and was driving home from work at night (headlight was being shipped so nothing i can do) saw a cop pull out behind me so i decided to pull over to get it over with. The cop thought i was trying to avoid him which is understandable. He asked where i was going i said home and he said why did you pull over, told him because i wanted to get the headlight issue dealt with because i knew you would pull me over. He searched my whole car and me, kept me for about 20 minutes and after he found nothing still didn’t admit that I could be telling the truth, that i was hiding something. I wish i knew mikes tips then😊
yeah you should’ve immediately refused that search. i hate cops
Yeah, except where Im from doing this is when they rip you out of the car, pepper spray you, charge you will resisting, and leave you in the ER. Yeah sure, the charges against you eventually get dropped, but the cop goes on like nothing happened, meanwhile you lose your job because you cant work for 2 months while your ribs and face are broken. The damage is done and the bully cop gets to go about his day. But being completely compliant to minimal shit, even to technically unlawful orders, increases the chances of making it home alive.
Yuuuup. At best they get a paid vacation while internal affairs finds they did nothing wrong.
I can't handle This! I Won't!

They save lives, only.
I could only find a handful of cases in which EMT's were charged with murder. There isn't much info.
However, the U.S. has 1,057,100 active firefighters. *100* of them are arsonists.
That's approximately 0.00009% of all U.S. firefighters that START fires.
@hoskinsfilms6227 it's probably not an intentional killing tho, it's probably negligence that turned into wrongful death. Idk tho
@@LHYO505 That's why I worded it as "charged with murder," to keep the language a bit loose. (To be fair though, I still couldn't find anything on intentional deaths.)
Cus cops have to do stuff that people inevitably will not like, paramedics and firefighters ONLY have to save lives
Amazing content Mike! Thank you
They can say anything is reasonably suspicious though .
