DUI Checkpoint Video

Quote:So in other words, you can't speak for yourself, rather you rely on a bunch of liberal blogs and/or liberal media to make your point.  The thing is, if you bother to read any of the stories that you quoted in "point one" you've made my case.

 

See, the problem with this statement coming from you is that if I had spoken for myself, you'd have accused me of not having any facts to back up my wild, unfounded accusations. Since, in your world, the "backing up with evidence" rule only applies when you're not the one making the argument, I figured I'd let the Interwebz spell it out for you instead. Gotta admit, I never really considered the Wall Street Journal a liberal blog before.


 

Let's just take the first one as an example.

 

Mind you, this is in New York City/New Jersey, not exactly "hometown U.S.A." as most of us know it.

 

I know that you don't live here, but it would be odd to see a white male in certain areas of the city, especially at night just like it would be odd to see a black male in certain areas.  That's just the way that it is.  Police shouldn't have to be PC, they should and do their job according to what is "normal" in their area of responsibility and what might be "odd".

 

And if a black man in a hoodie walking down the street in Queen's Harbor at 2:00 AM is weird, then the officer has every right to approach him and make contact. What you don't seem willing to acknowledge is that the man has every right per the Consitution, a document written to protect us, to refuse to engage the cop in conversation and go about his business. Refusal to waive your rights is not probable cause to have them violated. 


 

The thing is, the vast majority of you "anti-police" people have never been in the position that they are in.  Simply putting the uniform on makes them a target.  You don't know if they just left a scene of an accident that took someone's life, or if they had to mediate some kind of domestic dispute, or if they had to go inform someone that their family member has passed away.  Me personally, I've had to do all three things during (and even after) my shift.  It's not a fun job at all and is tougher than you think.

 

I never said it wasn't tough. I know it is. I've got extended family members in various police forces, and you know what? They agree with my stance that all cops are liars by trade, and that if you're approached by an officer, the best thing to do is politely refuse to engage in conversation and establish whether you're free to go or being detained. Maybe they're just poisoned by my refusal to think within a political box, or maybe they aren't mindslaves of Marco Rubio who believe that the only safe state is a police state--like someone else we both know.


 

So the next time that you think that you're being "smart" or "cute" being a "donkey" towards a police officer, sit back and put yourself in their shoes for a bit.  The video that the OP posted is not about "constitutional rights", it's pretty much a video to "bash" Law Enforcement Officers.  I would bet that if a couple of larger men got a hold of him in some alley he would be squealing for the police to come and rescue him.  When his rectum and part of his intestines are hanging out of his back side (and I've seen that) he will probably be singing a different tune.

 

The video is documenting what happened at an unconstitutional, U-N-L-A-W-F-U-L detainment and questioning. Uploading it to YouTube was for his protection given the events of the interaction. Did he go in looking to prove a point? Yeah, probably. Most YouTubers do. Doesn't mean that his actions or words were wrong in the least. He just happened to catch an officer who willfully chose to ignore the document that he swore to uphold and protect, and who would rather line his department up for a civil rights lawsuit than do what he was legally obligated to: let the man drive away in the complete absence of probable cause.


 

The bottom line is, for anyone that wants to make these stupid claims against a police officer, I challenge them to put on the uniform and perform the job for one week.  Most people would last past the first day.

 

Yes, they would. It's not as "all macho heartbreak sadness CRUSHING SOUL EMO PAIN" as you like to tell us all it is.
 

 

Quote:[Male cow excrement] the police officer has every right to do so when investigating a possible crime (DUI).
The Fifth Amendment to the United States Consitution:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

 

The officer has every right to talk to me. I won't argue that. I just have every right to politely decline to engage in conversation, and if that's an issue for them, it's on them to find probable cause to continue the conversation. Otherwise, I'll be on my way.
