Apparently, it has become a “red flag” for law enforcers when a victim of their enforcement insists on asserting their rights under the law. As for instance their right not to hand over ID just because an enforcer demands to see it. The law is that this is the law only when a crime or at least some infraction – such as jaywalking – has been committed or the enforcer has solid grounds for believing a crime or offense has been or is about to be committed
Interestingly, it is not a crime for law enforcers to violate this law.
As you can see in the video accompanying this article. It shows a man who’d stopped to wait out a thunderstorm in the parking lot of a gas station/convenience store being first hassled – and then arrested – for politely declining to produce his “papers” when ordered to by first one and then three law enforcers.
Apparently, the cashier in the store sicced the law on the man because she was “worried” about his being parked outside, where he was reading a book inside his car. Though not a crime – or an offense – it was enough to trigger the man’s eventual arrest.
When questioned by the first enforcer who arrived on scene, the man explained what he was doing and when the law enforcer told him the store clerk was “worried,” he offered to leave – which ought to have been the end of the interaction. It is important to point out here that the store clerk never asked the man to leave and there were no signs saying people could not park and sit for more than a specific period of time. The man was driving a recent-model car, was neatly dressed and nothing about him or what he’d been doing suggested anything to be “worried” or “suspicious” about – especially after he’d explained why he’d been waiting.
It wasn’t enough.
The enforcers insisted he produce his “papers.” The man – to his credit – continued to decline, pointing out that he’d committed no crime or even infraction, though the law enforcers conjured one – “loitering” and then “trespassing” – even though he’d done neither. One of the cops went into the store to get the cashier-clerk to agree that she wanted the man “trespassed” from the premises. But he never “trespassed” in the first place, as the civil rights lawyer who posted the video explains. A “trespasser” is someone who goes where he has no business being. And goes there despite having been told he has no business being there by the owner of the property. This was a parking lot in front of a gas station/store – a place where people are expected to park, in other words. And no one asked the man to leave, so the “trespassing” argument is fatuous. No, that’s not quite right. It was concocted – to give the enforcers an excuse/pretext to arrest the man for refusing to give them his “papers.”
“Show me the man,” Stalin’s prosecutor said, “and I will show you the crime.”
The bottom line is the enforcers were determined to show who’s boss – the law be damned. One of them even said that it’s a “red flag” when a citizen asserts his rights under the law, though of course he did not say it that way. He said – essentially – that not following orders (irrespective of their legality) is a “crime” and that it’s got to be punished. In this case, by arresting a man who’d committed no crime and who was doing all he could to de-escalate the situation.
The man could and hopefully will sue the enforcers – who of course will not be held personally accountable for their crimes. Which is of course exactly why these enforcers are so glib about committing crimes. The rest of us – even the worst among us – are held in check by the thought of consequences. Real ones. Not a paid vacation. Rather, the prospect of being ruined, financially, as a consequence of losing a civil suit.
But enforcers don’t have to worry about that because others get to be held accountable. The people who had nothing to do with the crime. The taxpayers of the city/county or town that employed the enforcers. They get to pay – via increased property taxes, for instance. Or by more “tickets” – issued by the enforcers.

Love how the lawyer starts with “imagine you are a free American citizen”.
Yep, imagine if that was true in any respect.
Videos like this are proof we are not free beyond the bounds of when the gestapo decides you are.
The Civil Rights Lawyer (TCRL) is on the job and does a good take-down of corrupt police thugs.
Lots of content to watch there.
Those whatever you want to call them show their true colors.

Unarmed. you mean, like British Bobbies?
Not in uniform. You mean, like Dick Tracy?
All this to deal with a high crime area of Albuquerque known to locals as the “War Zone.”

That’s not as much of a guaranteed payout as people think. Lawyers are part of “the system” and many are reluctant to take such cases unless they think there is a big payoff, which often there isn’t. Judges are part of the system. Juries — white ones in particular — do whatever they are told and tend to side with the cops.
Lawsuits that pay big money are usually only allowed when the elite members of The System are trying to make a point that reinforces their own bias and their ideology. If a Negro is perceived to be the victim, he will get paid. if a woman is perceived to be the victim, she will get paid — like Trump’s “rape” accuser.
If it’s some decent taxpaying white or Asian guy… he will get nothing. Case dismissed.
Incorrect. Many civil rights lawsuits are filed, almost all are settled. Judges play a small part in settlement, juries none at all.
In fact, the most egregious cases are never allowed to go to court, the jurisdictions always settle to ensure things stay under wraps much as possible.
It is true that a civil suit must be worth enough to spend the resources on legal costs, but most jurisdictions allow legal costs to be recouped in the settlement.
Civil rights law is well-defined, and any competent law firm will be able to determine the likelihood of prevailing in the jurisdiction they operate in, according to the fact patterns and rulings of similar cases.
Wrongful arrest, by itself, is not worth much. But adding on other circumstances, such as where the arrest took place, statements made by the police and their behavior and actions, play a huge role in the value of such lawsuits.
This story seems to be worth quite a bit, in my opinion. The police lied, they committed a clear violation of due process, they had no articulable probable cause, and the statement “its a red flag…” will not please a judge, at all. Especially considering the humiliating circumstances (strip search) and the costs involved in any arrest, wrongful arrest’s are still a good civil suit to file. Judges usually want to enhance the prestige of law enforcement, and will not take lightly any situation that might degrade the perception of law enforcer’s as the good guys.
Here, the cops had no reason to arrest, no reason to be suspicious, and no probable cause, at all. Just on the basis of public policy, this is ripe for a suit. Whether he has the guts to bring a suit is another thing entirely. I hope he does attempt to bring suit. He may also be able to sue the property owner due to the actions of his employee in reporting a non-crime and causing harm.
If the cops wanted to check for warrants, then why not simply run the guy’s plate?
Secondly, if I have to stop for a rest and my only option is a gas station/convenience store, I try to park along the side and/or out of view of the store’s window; I try to hide as much as I can. Why? So I won’t be hassled by cops.
Maybe this is why I don’t trust the police.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
The power of the POLICY OVERSEERS comes directly from UNLAWFUL PROPERTY TAXES.
Something no “civil rights lawyer” will touch.
I’ve addressed this countless times in the comment section with that shill, yet never once will he dare answer.
All the “lawyers” are 100% in on it, despite making monetized videos pretending otherwise.
Where are all the “civil rights lawyers” that will stand up for the most basic civil right to own property?
They don’t exist. If they do, then by all means, point one out to me.
Of course, the policy overseers are paid by the taxes. the only solution seems to be anarchy. one cannot have just a little of this and that!
I’m not against anarchy in any way, shape, or form, but honestly all we really need is a few supreme court decisions declaring 1, our unequivocal and untaxable right to own property and land, and 2, interest is usury, and usury is 100% unlawful. You might want to outlaw dual citizenships being able to serve in government and forcing AIPAC to register under FARA as well, just for good measure.
These things would “restore the union” without question.
How did humanity get conned by authority? Well Virginia, it all started way back in time when the first authoritarian found a way to get you to obey. The first authoritarian was the priest, the priest said Almighty God wants you to be obedient to his commandments. If the priest did not use the god meme, no one would obey him, so the priest said he was the servant of god, and to obey him was to obey god.
State power was gotten by belief in the one true god, god is how you get political power, you teach the rabble that this god entity has authority over all of creation, then you say the priests (or government) represents this authority, and you must obey the priest/president/king/pharoah/monarch or else. This command is written literally this way in the New Testament:
Romans 13 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
God exists and persists because god is taught – pounded into the neural circuits of those unfortunates who live in empire or a theocracy. If you had not been taught god, would you even know or care about god and his demands on us? No you wouldn’t. Amerikans are the most unfortunate peoples, they think they are free yet they are completely enslaved to the Yahweh monogod meme and thus accept their lot in fighting endless Jewish instigated wars of aggression. The only reason fool hicks like Evangelical Amerikans believe in Israel is because of the garbage pounded into their brains by all these churches which infest Amerika. Amerika is coast to coast Bible churches, teaching Scofield version (even more evil than the King James version) of the Bible.
I would point out the real god of the heaven gave all life freedom. Men, in a desperate attempt to justify their brutal rule and enslavement of others, have stolen and appropriated god for their despotic rule. God is only a meme used by ruthless lying scumbags to control others. All religions on earth are mockery of Creation and whatever created it, all life is free, and we innately know this. To believe and practice religion, bowing down to some invisible authority, is a denial of self, and the greatest of evil. For men to be free, the last Rabbi must be strangled with the entrails of the last Evangelical preacher.
But is that going to happen? Not a chance. The cops get really mad when you challenge their authority, most cops got indoctrinated along the way, many are Baptists – they got the godly authority pounded into their skull, and thus to challenge their authority is to challenge state authority and god himself.
Now you might counter this argument saying the Communists were atheists. True, but all they did was just grab the power and rid themselves of the myth that sustained that power. The communists may even ban religion, and claim the state is the supreme authority – with no god at all – but it did not start that way – authority was initially gained by convincing people of the god meme, the idea that an authority greater than self ruled all, and that you must obey god because he commands it.
Religion was a clever ruse to get your obedience to higher authority, and since god is not real, religion teaching god was really religion teaching you to be obedient to the state. Proof is Romans 13. How they did it is remarkable, the priests wrote a story and convinced the rabble of this make believe higher authority called god. God is not real, the god of the Bible are the words of the Bible, and it says that directly in John 1:1
“1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Bible words are a spell, the spell is cast when you read the words, or the preacher reads them to you. That information, which you are told to revere, sets up in your mind, it becomes your program. The followers of the Holy Bible are a death cult, the Gentiles (gentle peoples) who believe in the words of the Bible become cogs in a Jewish empire of death and destruction. Zionist scumbag Trump, is now promoting Christ insanity for that very reason, the leaders promote the religion for making war. It has long been said, by many writers, that when fascism comes to America it will be wearing a cross.

With Amerika in decline the new trend will undoubtably be political repression. So stand by to be beat by Bible believing cops, who are going to beat the love of Christ into you, especially you atheist and freedom loving Libertarians. And don’t you dare criticize God’s chosen ones or Israel, because Trump will deport you to some third world megaprison. Jesus loves Jews and you are being called by the Lord to shed the blood of Christ and kill all those enemies of Israel, especially those Hamas terrorists.
For years I wondered why religion gets tax free status. The IRS is greedy, and they do not let anyone get a free ride, but religion in Amerika does. Why oh why is that I wondered, then this week it suddenly came to me, oh I get it, religion is getting people to believe in authority, the state desperately needs religious belief to protect it’s bullshit claim of authority. Religion is so basic to state rule, that religion is an arm of the government so the reason why churches are not taxed is because churches are part of the state, and the state does not tax itself. The purpose of the church is to fool you into obedience and paying taxes to the scum who rule over you.
we fool you, religion is part of the state, that is why it is not taxed

Morning, Jack –
I think there’s another factor at play. By granting the tax exemption, the state exercises control over religion. We saw how effective this was during “COVID.”
The Christian Zionist, a la John Hagee, are the worst. Laurence Vance at LRC has written at length about these militarist GovCo worshipers for quite some time.
Nauseating.
I agree with the late George Carlin’s view, namely, “Religion is the greatest bullshit story ever told.” And the so-called “Christian Zionists” are among the worst, “Prosperity Gospel” and all.
What kind of sick person prays for the world to end, so they can get vaporized to “Hevvun,” but believes their “Gawd” owes them a lavish lifestyle in the meantime?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dM2uzunIXs
And of course, the preachers who peddle this garbage get a private jet, to “do the Lord’s work,” and as much side tail from sweet young “religious” babes who line up to “do the Lord’s messenger” as they can possibly handle.
Didn’t Jesus throw the money changers out of the Temple? I guess they are like cockroaches (never just one).
My goodness… you are completely clueless! You know nothing of Christianity, nor of the history of churches not being taxed. Of course, pointing all this out would be useless to you I am sure, but remember one thing – Jesus repeatedly called the jew ‘of their father the devil’. There are no positive references to the jew in Scripture; and no, jews arent Biblical Israelites nor Hebrews. They even admit it in their own writings. But I imagine you wouldnt care…
Amerika is a police state. Which group is behind the rise of Amerikan fascism. Oh yeah, the usual suspect.

“4Chan” Exposed as Israeli Mossad Honeypot/Propaganda/Incitement Site
“Leaked post data revealed Israel as the dominant source of /pol/ activity since 2014.
Almost all posts on 4chan were Israeli intelligence contractors pretending to be USA.
Mossad has been running an absolute massive propaganda campaign on the American internet.
Despite being around 0.12% of the world’s population, Israel accounted for … almost 50% of all 4chan posts; about 226 Million!
Mossad has been using the website for years to help stoke the rise of Nazi & far-right movements hostile toward Muslims.
4chan got taken down by a rival imageboard hacking group called “Soyjak Party.” Its databases were dumped, moderators were doxxed (proving some were federal agents), and the servers are now all offline.
I’ve never been on 4chan but, I always thought it had the odor of GovCo behind it from all I read and heard. Now we know which one.
Just like the Proud Boys and the khaki/white shirt/sunglasses brigade known as the Patriot Front. Elohim City was another such operation.
A huge part of this is that the ‘traffic stop’ and other police encounters are used to find people with warrants instead of police simply going to find the people with warrants.
“The taxpayers of the city/county or town that employed the enforcers. They get to pay – via increased property taxes, for instance.”
Well, it is “Tax Day”, as abhorrent an unholy-day that is. So, here is today’s requisite listening:
https://youtu.be/K19Y7Di6en8?si=5Qr3r0W_HciXsFrA
Taxes are stealing!
And I get the feeling
That we’re getting fucked in
The ass!
We’re moving in the opposite direction when it comes to police or “law enforcement” accountability, however. Coming to the point in which it’s quite alright from them to “disappear” you and put you in a foreign prison never to return. Due process be damned, and you can forget about the rest of the Bill of “Rights”, as well.
Speaking of gas stations, my local Chevron station is prominently displaying this sign in multiple locations — Keep California fuel policies out of Arizona tanks:
https://postimg.cc/YvpL5ZFf
The QR code links to chevronadvocacynetwork dot com, which urges, ‘Ask your elected leaders to stand up against California’s bad policies.’
Chevron has taken action by bailing the hell out from San Ramon, California to Houston, Texas … even though it was founded as Standard Oil of California.
If oil companies can openly resist to state coercion, why are auto makers such chicken-hearts?
On your feet or on your knees.
Just a note on QR Codes, don’t use them, ever. Yes, you get access to their info but, it’s a two way street. They can access your phone as well. Nice little way to hack your phone. Also, never do business on your phone or mobile device. It’s just another open door into your life.
Agreed on the QR codes. Sometimes I’ll go to a restaurant and they’ll try to get me to scan one for the menu. My answer, of course, is: “No; I’ll take a paper one, please.” If they do not provide one I just leave.
Yeah, when did this QR code for menus crap start? They started this bull at Texas Roadhouse a few years ago, but customers must have complained because laminated picture menus have returned to the tables.
Hey Mark, if you wanna have some fun, just keep a black marker with you. When you place an extra mark on those QR codes…it really messes them up.
It would have to be a big mark. The ones I’ve worked with are designed for redundancy- if part is obscured they still read. Mine are on mud splattered truck windshields passing by at 20 mph. And it works most of the time. So I doubt a random black mark will do much.
