VI. “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (emphasis added); and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=19&page=transcript Marbury v. Madison (1803) The question, whether an act, repugnant to the constitution, can become the law of the land, is a question deeply interesting to the United States; but happily, not of an intricacy proportioned to its interest. It seems only necessary to recognize certain principles, supposed to have been long and well established, to decide it. That the people have an original right to establish, for their future government, such principles as, in their opinion, shall most conduce to their own happiness, is the basis on which the whole American fabric has been erected. The exercise of this original right is a very great exertion; nor can it, nor ought it, to be frequently repeated. The principles, therefore, so established, are deemed fundamental. And as the authority from which they proceed is supreme, and can seldom act, they are designed to be permanent. This original and supreme will organizes the government, and assigns to different departments their respective powers. It may either stop here, or establish certain limits not to be transcended by those departments. The government of the United States is of the latter description. The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken, or forgotten, the constitution is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished, if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed, are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act. Between these alternatives there is no middle ground. The constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it. If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act contrary to the constitution is not law: if the latter part be true, then written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to limit a power in its own nature illimitable. Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the FUNDAMENTAL AND PARAMOUNT LAW (emphasis added) of the nation, and consequently, the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void. It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that in declaring what shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (emphasis added), the constitution itself is first mentioned; and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the constitution, have that rank. Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that A LAW REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS VOID (emphasis added); and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument. www.archives.gov/founding-docs/amendments-11-27 Amendment 14, section 1: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY LAW WHICH SHALL ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES (emphasis added); nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

But what I hope is that they learn from it and then try to do a little better and maybe one day they can all be little James Freeman's.
The sad part is that as citizens we have to know the key words to use in order not to get our rights trampled on. A simple "officer If you are not arresting me right now, you don't need my ID right now" (in most states), instead they will argue and argue trying to intimidate people into giving their rights. Also, it seems courts play into the game as well. "The officer never said it was an order"
@@LxiEQ Are you being purposely obtuse, or do you really not understand the difference between _"walking aggressively,"_ _"looking aggressive,"_ and *_"acting_*_ aggressively?"_ It's fine for anyone to LOOK aggressive, but uncool in the extreme to ACT aggressive.

You're right this is public property they should have grass servants out there who do they think is going to cut all that flammable looking dead grass private owned businesses

Yea, it probably wasn't the first time, twiddle dee, and twiddle dum, came close to stepping into something so bad, Mr. Clean wouldn't take it off. Lol.
If that was private property the county would be all over you to cut the weeds. Looks like that does not apply to taxpayers property. They should be shamed of how tall they let those weeds get.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for all of your efforts for accountability and freedom for all, Mr Jaaaaaaaames Freeman. God bless and watch over you sir 🙏
And this is prime example on why Freeman is by far my most favorite auditor of ALL of them. SGV, News now houston, High desert community watch furry potato or any of the others out there. James is to the point and doesn't take their crap. Bao is ok but when he gets to cussing he is like a pitbull. Nothing wrong with his style but I absolutely LOVED it when Freeman asked that one cop if he would like to go and get him a Dr. Pepper. That was the cream of the crop for me. I busted and fell out with that audit. Keep up the excellent work that you do. I LOVE IT!!!!
They act like people wanna "just talk" to them. Let me intimidate you, tell you that you are not being detained, harass you and then say "I wanna just talk man". So dumb.
I don't see the draw in talking to any cop, but these guys would be totally unarmed in any dual of wits. It would be funny if it weren't so painfully sad.
@@NamesDean It is not the job of any LAW ENFORCEMENT officer to confront and interrogate or give directives to anyone who is obeying the law. Badges do not grant extra rights, they impose extra responsibilities.
@@oldtimefarmboy9330 the officers have a right to respond to a 911 call and ask questions of what he is doing. The lady obviously felt threatened and or was creeped out by James. If someone was walking around and filming your place of work or your house, or whatever. you would be suspicious too. Better safe than sorry, I would say. The police officers did nothing wrong here. Nor did James to be completely honest. I’m not arguing that any of them did anything to “break the law”. All I’m saying is the police officers had every right to be there and so did James. Officers are sworn to protect and serve, I see no harm in responding to a call of a “suspicious” person.
Does 'i got a call' mean abracadabra or open sesame, in some other language. Maybe that would explain why they think our rights disappear when they say that. Worst Magic Act ever...
Apparently the 4th amendment because in many states a 911 call alone constitutes reasonable suspicion, meaning people can be detained, harassed, and ID'd on no more than hearsay
@@Zeppelin616 A brief detainment. But unless your state has a specific law the says you must ID, you have no legal obligation to aid them in their investigation and that includes ID, unless, of course, they can articulate a specific crime they believe you’re involved in.
Calling people stupid who are ignorant of the law and people’s rights is pretty counter productive to making a big difference in my opinion.

And as the authority from which they proceed is supreme, and can seldom act, they are designed to be permanent.
This original and supreme will organizes the government, and assigns to different departments their respective powers. It may either stop here, or establish certain limits not to be transcended by those departments.
The government of the United States is of the latter description. The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken, or forgotten, the constitution is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished, if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed, are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act.
Between these alternatives there is no middle ground. The constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it.
If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act contrary to the constitution is not law: if the latter part be true, then written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to limit a power in its own nature illimitable.
Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the FUNDAMENTAL AND PARAMOUNT LAW (emphasis added) of the nation, and consequently, the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void.
It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that in declaring what shall be the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (emphasis added), the constitution itself is first mentioned; and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the constitution, have that rank.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that A LAW REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS VOID (emphasis added); and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

Amendment 14, section 1:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY LAW WHICH SHALL ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES (emphasis added); nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
I love how he’s been doing this for so long, he knows what he’s talking about vs tiktok teens who watched one episode of AuditTheAudit.
And let's be clear it's because he's been doing it so long that he is so unbelievably good at it. I know you're right there are some Tik Tok teens that get their little asses in trouble. But what I hope is that they learn from it and then try to do a little better and maybe one day they can all be little James Freeman's.
The sad part is that as citizens we have to know the key words to use in order not to get our rights trampled on. A simple "officer If you are not arresting me right now, you don't need my ID right now" (in most states), instead they will argue and argue trying to intimidate people into giving their rights.
Also, it seems courts play into the game as well. "The officer never said it was an order"
Im glad I do not get this reference.
what i wonder James...are you doing roleplay training? you're a sharp asf.
@Riley Finch commies don't understand private property.
Imagine the court case: "Your honor, this man was caught red-handed walking aggressively." LOLOLOL
Lmfao good one 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for what you do James Freeman you’re a good American and keep fighting The hard fight thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are the king of comebacks , I truly admire your courage to confront these tyrants.👍 keep up the good work , I'll definitely be watching.
“You’re walking up on me aggressively”........funny, he approached YOU with a gun.....who’s the aggressive one?
pretty sure they are suppose to have guns so of course they are going to look aggressive
@@LxiEQ
Are you being purposely obtuse, or do you really not understand the difference between _"walking aggressively,"_ _"looking aggressive,"_ and *_"acting_*_ aggressively?"_
It's fine for anyone to LOOK aggressive, but uncool in the extreme to ACT aggressive.
@@xenaguy01 tbh if they act aggressive then report them i dont care how police look or what people say and think they are. Not all police officers are the same. They probably just wanted to find a reason to arrest him or something.
@@LxiEQ A good cop is a dead cop.
@@LxiEQ You'll sing a different tune when it happens to you. Always love looking at the comments ya find a bootlicker or two.

"Say something stupid into the camera for me."
"Something stupid."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These are extremely entertaining, and terrifying. Thanks, James.
I kinda got chills watching this one. You took complete control immediately. I must say, I’m impressed. You flipped the situation on them. They were actually intimidated by you! Amazing! Btw.. One of your vid’s where you flip it on the police has been recently featured on TYTs main channel. Again, it’s amazing stuff and you’re getting noticed. Keep up the disciplined , controlled resistance. Great work!!
Love the back and forth footage!! It’s like a movie!
I guess Torrence County doesn’t keep up with their landscaping.
The night stalker !
Landscaper got deported.
They couldn’t figure out how to run a lawnmower so they just shot the grass
or laws, or the constitution
I don't know if you noticed but this is in the middle of nowhere...:/
The outfit looks like an Ironworker on vacation 🤣
Don't call what you're wearing an outfit, don't ever say your car is broke
Don't worry about losing your accent, a southern man tells better jokes
Have fun and stay clear of the needle, call home on your sister's birthday
Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus, don't give it away…
“Do you have your body cameras on, clowns?”
‘Yes we do.’
Clownage self-confirmed…
Hilarious when you called him dude!
Lol most hilarious auditor out there. My fav video is one where you ask cop silly questions they ask us. Priceless.
"I'm not aggressive. Shut the hell up and get outta here."
Sounds kind of aggressive but that's just like, my opinion, man.
thats the point. jail would be full of karens.
You're entering a world of pain my guy, he stepped over the line!
It’s not called being aggressive it’s just called being a man.
🐑
It's aggressive speech but not aggressive act or behavior tho,
sir,you are a champion.you have created the first REALITY show that is 100% real.the cops camera footage and yours put together is just great.
James Freeman, I luv you dude. Keep up the good work Bro!
heyyy James is taken already seriously...giggles=)
But I love him...😕
@@NorthCountryOffgrid same lol
“Your name is no?”
“Yes”
“ i like your little thingy on your leg there... it’s cute.” 😂😂😂
They just aren't used to people not caving to they're" authority".
Their*
Respect my authoritaaah
Thomas Kirkpatrick exactly this is a massive head slap into reality or a full-on train running into them that they were never ever obviously told about or trained about from day one this goes across the country from one end to the other two every single department Town City big or small they are not used to being exposed not used to being told no not used to being even in the presence of something that is 100% legal they are completely naive to this and when it comes to them the reaction we get is perhaps unfortunately the true ( them ) or ( the truth and reality of what they really are in their core ) wow I can't believe I just said that but it's true very sad no way they are all bad as I do not believe that to be the case but....but the whole thing is..... exactly what you said they are so caught off guard by this beyond words..
🤔🤔🤔🤔😟😟😟😟😟
The dispatchers seek to think they can only be spoken to if there’s an emergency taking place...how bizarre.
Am I detained?
No
Well see you guys later
That was my favorite part!😂😂
"Jamessssss Freeman" i cant get enough looool
Man I love this dude James Freeman for president 😂😆
James would have to completely give up his integrity to become a politician. Why would you want him to do that?!
I'm sleeping aggressively is that a misdemeanor or a felony
Simple citation. Only required to give full name, no other info is necessary.
You could get tazed or murdered if recent cases of people getting caught sleeping aggressively are anything to go by.
Dude
They tried to charge me for THINKING aggressively.
When you start giving orders boy they sure do listen and when your mr. Nice guy they're all big and tough
That whole place looks like a fire hazard, they need to get those weeds under control.
You're right this is public property they should have grass servants out there who do they think is going to cut all that flammable looking dead grass private owned businesses
Damn gotta check the way I walk, don''t wanna be caught with a bad case of aggressive walking. Wonder what's the sentence gonna be for such heinous crime.
Probably end up doing a few years in a high security anger management facility.
This was one of the funniest videos I reviewed in a long time. Thanks for the laughter James.
Rik Mayall on the 80s tv show "The young ones" says....give them a uniform and they think they are Hitler!
They've been Freemaned! And it will require ointment. Good work Jim, as usual.
lol
Supervisor already knew to come check them 2 out
Yea, it probably wasn't the first time, twiddle dee, and twiddle dum, came close to stepping into something so bad, Mr. Clean wouldn't take it off. Lol.
@@BkGreg i think dispatch can see the body cam footage live, so maybe they tolld the supervisor to put a stop to it
He was big jerk! Didnt even identify himself. The supervisor has to give his name and badge number, I believe.
“Is suspicious a felony or a misdemeanor?”--had me WEAK!!!🤣
If that was private property the county would be all over you to cut the weeds. Looks like that does not apply to taxpayers property. They should be shamed of how tall they let those weeds get.
We can only hope, a random spark, will take care of the problem, in more ways than one. Lol.
Yep locals should defund the whole operation if that's the poor management they allow
It’s the desert
@@christianb8228 no its in the east Mountains of Albuquerque the manzanos specifically. Not all of NM is desert.
Who knew “dude” could be used so aggressively 😂
Dude
Biggest balls in the history of mankind and a sharp mind and a sharp tongue 👅!!!!! Dude rocks!!!!
I don't rectum the sharp mind was reflected at all by his sharp tongue.
He sounded like an 8th grader.
They threatened to detain you then at the end they act stupid, trying to deny it. Lmao
There are many things that James, and James alone, can get away with. Bibs and flip flops are not one of them. Haha
lmao
Nice...
@Sam What?!?! How did I miss that?
You have concept of style, OFF THE ISLAND with you!!
😂😂😂😂
I have nothing but admiration and respect for all of your efforts for accountability and freedom for all, Mr Jaaaaaaaames Freeman. God bless and watch over you sir 🙏
And this is prime example on why Freeman is by far my most favorite auditor of ALL of them. SGV, News now houston, High desert community watch furry potato or any of the others out there. James is to the point and doesn't take their crap. Bao is ok but when he gets to cussing he is like a pitbull. Nothing wrong with his style but I absolutely LOVED it when Freeman asked that one cop if he would like to go and get him a Dr. Pepper. That was the cream of the crop for me. I busted and fell out with that audit. Keep up the excellent work that you do. I LOVE IT!!!!
Agree. But you missed the part how he also got the police body cam footage. That’s rare
I dont wanna be detained, I have rights that prevent me from unlawful detainments.
Love how he turns the come-on DUDE back into the piggy's face.
They act like people wanna "just talk" to them. Let me intimidate you, tell you that you are not being detained, harass you and then say "I wanna just talk man". So dumb.
I don't see the draw in talking to any cop, but these guys would be totally unarmed in any dual of wits. It would be funny if it weren't so painfully sad.
Where were they harassing him? Dude.
No, not dumb, falls under the category of "deception"
these buggers are much quicker to lie than to tell the truth.
@@NamesDean
It is not the job of any LAW ENFORCEMENT officer to confront and interrogate or give directives to anyone who is obeying the law. Badges do not grant extra rights, they impose extra responsibilities.
@@oldtimefarmboy9330 the officers have a right to respond to a 911 call and ask questions of what he is doing. The lady obviously felt threatened and or was creeped out by James. If someone was walking around and filming your place of work or your house, or whatever. you would be suspicious too. Better safe than sorry, I would say. The police officers did nothing wrong here. Nor did James to be completely honest. I’m not arguing that any of them did anything to “break the law”. All I’m saying is the police officers had every right to be there and so did James. Officers are sworn to protect and serve, I see no harm in responding to a call of a “suspicious” person.
Ohhhh James! Thats the old James I used to know. Love it, keep it up!
Love me some James Freeman!
Damn CLOWNS!!! Thank you for protecting our precious 1st Amendment rights!!! Love your channel
The response to "I gotta call" is. "What part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are suspended because "You gotta call"?
Oooooo, I like that!
Does 'i got a call' mean abracadabra or open sesame, in some other language. Maybe that would explain why they think our rights disappear when they say that. Worst Magic Act ever...
Pretty soon our arguments will be worthless and we will have to resort to a different form of persuasion
Apparently the 4th amendment because in many states a 911 call alone constitutes reasonable suspicion, meaning people can be detained, harassed, and ID'd on no more than hearsay
@@Zeppelin616
A brief detainment. But unless your state has a specific law the says you must ID, you have no legal obligation to aid them in their investigation and that includes ID, unless, of course, they can articulate a specific crime they believe you’re involved in.
This video is a fucking gem. I'm saving this for later.
Absolutely superb from start to finish... 👏👏👏👏
Incredible to think how these interactions would go down without cameras
Why are you videotaping the property you pay for “dude”. “Shut up clown”. I’m subscribed.
“Say something stupid into the camera for me” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro I love your channel so much. Lmao
Please, please keep providing this service. I am educating my 3 sons with your content. Thank you!
James as usual putting tyrants in their place lol freakin legend!
The best!
Calling people stupid who are ignorant of the law and people’s rights is pretty counter productive to making a big difference in my opinion. I bet a lot of these guys would be receptive to change if you were to teach them respectfully instead of constantly degrading them.
Maybe try it 10 times both ways and see which one is more effective.
You're getting REALLY good at blending the angles and footage from your equipment and theirs! Masterful all around 👏👏👏
Hey man I've been too depressed recently to handle watching your videos but I'm still poppin in to leave a like and a comment, and I continue to tell friends & family about your channel. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do, thank you for risking your life and safety and well-being to continually educate us and inspire us to stand up for ourselves and for all of our bothers and sisters, etc. against oppression and abuse. Please stay safe so you can continue to do what you do for as long as it takes. You're a fuckin American hero, dude. I sincerely thank you and the rest of the amazing and passionate people who work together with you to try and expose these horrible things and behaviors that are so prevalent in our country today. Y'all are an inspiration to many of us, I can't thank you enough. You guys are real-life superheroes.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. There's a LOT of depression going around this year, a lot more than usual. I wouldn't watch this either if I were you. The truth of what's going on around us is depressing. Go out in the woods, do some camping, be in nature. We really aren't going to change or fix the downward spiral of this world, but we can find peace individually, and getting out in nature is how I find mine. I really hope you start feeling better.
Sending you some love bro
Thanks James and please be careful. 👍👍
oh dear, you just crushed the ego right out of him
Just turned it on and I already know it's gonna be good lol
Good job James! Call the wambulance!
Pig: why do you have too be smart with me ? I'm not trained for that 🤯🤪. Not fair.
Even knowing 2+2 is 4 isn't a fair fight against this guy 🤣
Oh damn someone finally came through with their foia request instead of just talkin and never acting on it
👀 watched. Now that’s how you own someone ❤️👍💪
when the Cop said "you can be detained if you wanna be" was his mistake. you can tell he's never been challenged for bring a Tyrant before. James straightened him out and fast
One of my favorite auditors.
Just the right amount of,
AAROO!
I loved this encounter. It felt like a movie scene. Great video quality as well.
0 to 100 mph when James realizes he is dealing with a tyrant thug. Just what I needed today. Thanks again James.
Multiple camera angles was absolute gold James. Big up.
👀 watched. Now that’s how you Owen someone 💕👍💪💪💪
James Freeman is the best auditor I've watched over the last 5 years of watching them, and I've watched a lot.
Who needs Batman when we have Jaaaames Freeman! Keep putting these clowns in their places.
Thaaaats what James looks like, don't know what I expected lmao. Good shit brother
Love it!!! Straight forward and no joke. Keep it up James. From one of your favorite fan.
“Jemes knows his law” He Keeps them guessing
I never thought I would say this to another man that I do not know, but :"I love youJames!"
I have the feeling every cop with an arm full of Tattoos lost IQ points with every line of ink.
They want to be different like everyone else !
Yeah what’s the go with the “ Tattoos “ on the arms “ Nearly every new cop I see getting around now has one.
A body with tattoo's is a billboard for stupidity 😄😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Please don't insult the tattooed community!!😆😆
