I wish it were easy to link to a film you remind me of. Sasha Baron-Cohen's cousin is a film maker. Ash Baron-Cohen.
His film ''BANG'' has to do with bad cops and other weird cop stuff [I won't ruin it], but especially the concept of amifreetogo, taken to a wild extreme. Roger Ebert called it one of the best movies of 1997.
I thought it was great, and highly recommend it to you, and AIFTG.
''BANG Part 1, directed by Ash - YouTube'' is a spoiler filled clip that should not be clicked on in your futile attempt to find a video link.
There are none at all, to save everyone time.

Peter Greene deserved an Oscar for that film. His homeless dude portrayal is stunning. The douche king cop is also perfect beyond all measure. The film looks like it cost $6.94 to make, in a few days, with a crew of 3. I love it.

But isn't the principle the same?

According to this website http: //www.uscis.gov (Official Website of the Department of Homeland Security) citizens have the following rights:

  • Freedom to express yourself.

  • Freedom to worship as you wish.

  • Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.

  • Right to vote in elections for public officials.

  • Right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. citizenship.

  • Right to run for elected office.

  • Freedom to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

    I honestly don't understand how a city can have a blanket ban that squashes two of these fundamental rights. Consider that I used to use my skateboard 90% for transportation.

    --------------

    You speak specifically about a church getting wax on its stairs. You can build a few boxes/rails to do tricks on for less than $100! Empty car park + permission given to skaters is surely an EASY fix.

Agree with everything here. Just wanted to add my personal experience.

I drove across country and back this summer. I left my California bought handgun behind just to avoid a legal headache. But, I got one of the best radar detectors on the market for the drive. If i remember correctly only Washington DC and Virginia have laws against radar detectors. Other than that, I never got pulled over in my 3 weeks of driving.

Great radar detector. Very accurate, gives the signal strength of the device as well as the direction (front, back, left/right) so you know exactly where the source is coming from. Over 3000 miles and I never felt worried about a speeding violation. Seriously, that radar detector gave me the impression I had complete control of whether or not I would get a speeding ticket or not.

I went through the same questions as you before I started on my road trip. I left with the attitude that any state I could have been stopped in is a stop and identify state (outside of operating a motor vehicle) and to rely mostly on my constitutional rights. Then again, I was crunched for time and couldn't do the required research to potentially assert my rights to their fullest potential (thus the lack of a firearm). Thank god that wasn't necessary.

Have fun and stay safe.

Sorry piggie, but let me quote something for you.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, HOUSES (emphasis added), papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized". Amendment IV to the United States Constitution. Proposed 25 September 1789 Ratified 15 December 1791.

What does this mean for pigs (I say pigs because you have all lost my respect) everywhere? This means you can show up to my house based on an anonymous tip and ask to enter and search it. But unless you have a sworn statement or oath to take to a judge for a warrant, I can tell you to piss off. Hell, if you fail to leave my property I can have charges pressed for criminal trespass.

It doesn't matter if you think someone is in danger in my, or anyone's, residence. Unless you have a warrant you can piss up a tree. I would love to see someone like you pull a stunt like that in Indiana. Thanks to their new law any cop who unlawfully enters a home can be legally engaged with small arms fire.

So, move to Indiana, enter someones home without a warrant, and let me know how your sucking chest wound is doing. Cops like you are the reason no one helps cops when you are getting the shit kicked out of you

Do us, and everyone else a favor, go take a constitutional law class somewhere. Hell, even read up on the American Revolution, or the Federalist Papers or get a Constitution App. Somewhere someone has made a pop up book, which is very stimulating for a developing mind like yours, about our history, laws and the constraints put on people like you by our Constitution.

I have no interest in wasting my time looking up citations when you are claiming I didn't provide a link to evidence you commit three felonies a day; the assumptions made in that argument and their applicability to you are there on that website and associated book.

The evidence is there, you can go and learn about something that disagrees with you. You can go and do some research yourself about how police plant evidence to convict the innocent, but I doubt you want to; I suspect you just are interested in finding evidence that you are right. If you actually want to learn something, go get Mistakes were made, but not by me which details all the special ways that we use cognitive dissonance to protect our mental selves. Which is, of course, something you are pretty good at.

Maybe you can install one of these cameras somewhere. They are very cheap and easily hidden, have decent video quality, and excellent audio pickup.

This is how America works.

Once affirmative action started being applied to black people, somehow all the courts magically found it illegal or curbed it heavily. Affirmative action was implemented for and majorly benefited by white women. I know you guys are almost all far rightwing psychopaths, but this book is a great historical overview on affirmative action.

Sometimes. Some military areas can't even be legally photographed from publicly-accessible areas. From Your Rights and Remedies When Stopped or Confronted for Photography, by Bert Krages, an attorney specializing in photography law who literally wrote the book on this subject:

"The general rule in the United States is that anyone may take photographs of whatever they want when they are in a public place or places where they have permission to take photographs... There are some exceptions to the general rule. A significant one is that commanders of military installations can prohibit photographs of specific areas when they deem it necessary to protect national security."

I haven't done it yet, but I am planning to hardwire a Mobius into my car. Apparently it's relatively simple, just run the power under your headliner and door frame panel, and use add-a-fuse to connect it to a fuse that only gets power when the ignition is on. That way you can set it and forget it, so to speak, and it is always recording while the car is running.

All you Califronians who are butt hurt by the accurate jab at your state should chip in and buy NNH a copy of the book in the link below. https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Texans-About-Other-States/dp/0972303405

u/the_ocalhoun · 2 pointsr/AmIFreeToGo

I'll be getting one of these for my car soon. Extra nice because it records audio and the forward-facing dashcam can be turned around to face the interior of the car relatively inconspicuously.

No live streaming, unfortunately, though... But hopefully the cops would be too dumb to think of ransacking the rearview mirror while looking for evidence to destroy.

Exactly. The police chief told the story that he wanted the public to know. They don't want any other story out there. They can't control the narrative if the public gets to see for themselves and start asking difficult questions about their conduct. Pleas to wait until they have completed their investigation are transparent ploys to buy time for the public to forget and shift attention to the next police killing.

It's right out of the police union playbook:

> "The longer a high profile incident is off the front page, the easier it is to resolve the case" because "The judge or arbitrator assigned to these cases sometimes feel more media and public pressure immediately after an incident than a year or so later. The more controversial the incident, the more time is your friend."

I only used Canada because the article is about Canada. A cop in Texas doesn't have to know the firearms laws in Washington, because a Texas cop doesn't enforce the laws in Washington. The Texas Penal Code is only 228 pages long. Washington State Penal Code is 232 pages. That's even easier to study than Canada's 650. There is no cop who's jurisdiction encompasses every state/county/and city in the US. So there's no reason a cop would have to learn 50,000 firearms laws.

And there aren't 50,000 firearms laws. There's closer to 300.

>The National Rifle Association and other pro-gun groups have often cited the 20,000 gun laws that already exist on the books as reasons why more enforcement, not more legislation, is the answer to curb gun violence.
However, the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy at the Brookings Institution debunked that statistic in 2002, calling it problematic. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/02/01/four-gun-claims-that-are-just-plain-wrong

>The NRA is not alone in using the number. Brookings traced its origin back to Michigan Democratic Rep. John Dingell's 1965 testimony on firearms and President Ronald Reagan cited the statistic again in 1981.

>Brookings estimates there are not thousands, but closer to 300 federal and state gun laws. Brookings clarifies that it did not include local laws in its survey because roughly 40 states prohibit most local gun laws.

I can personally speak for this device. I purchased it a long time ago and I returned it the next day. First of all, it's got a red blinking light in the front. Second, it's larger than a standard bluetooth, and the lens is obvious. Some of them require your android phone for its storage, with its bluetooth abilities draining the battery even more. It is not meant for covert recording. Covert recording is illegal in some states, and so manufactures are less willing to supply the public with these devices.

However, not to be outdone, I went to making my own covert recording device. I purchased many different types of cameras that you can wear on your body, even button-hole cameras. Nothing worked (AND was covert). Wasted a lot of money on shipping. And in the end, I finally came up with an inexpensive idea that works better than any device I found for sale. Plus, I got to make it...which is just more fun.

I purchased this black hat, and one of these cheap, car alarm keychain cameras and this strap of elastic. I then sewed (with a heavy duty needle) the elastic band to the underside of my hat bill. Get it perfectly centered the best you can, try to keep it toward the back of the bill obviously, and just large enough for the device to sit snug inside. Now I can activate the camera and slide it into the elastic band. It is small enough, and matching color, that it's not easily seen. It's not completely invisible, but I'd say its visibility has gone down 90% conservatively. You MIGHT see a lump, but you would never know that it's a camera. But with that device, I can record for 2 hours on an 8GB card. Charges via USB, and its low light ability isn't really all that bad (not for $10 anyway). Plus, it takes pictures.

And since it's on my hat bill, it sees what I see. You just have to get used to wearing and point it accurately at the target.

All this for about $20, and since the parts are so cheap, if it's stolen by some corrupt cop, I can get another one easily. I don't have to worry about them smashing my $600 camera, or stealing my phone that I really need.

The downside is if they find and take the camera, there's no way to get the video back unless they give it back to me. No internet file backup abilities.

Hope this helps,
Dallas

More than once on this sub, I've cited the book Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police. It's a bit lengthy, and covers the historical foundation of the Bill of Rights (great read if you're an American history student).

But the real takeaway is that SWAT teams bring their own exigency with them. "Exigency" is just a fancy word for urgent and unexpected circumstances that allow SWAT teams to improvise and shoot dogs and kick in doors and operate without a judge's oversight. But the book makes a compelling argument that SWAT teams create exigency, they create violence where none existed before, they create dangerous situations where none existed before.

What if there are hostages inside a bank during a botched robbery? Sure, send in SWAT. But a house where no one is in any danger? Or a house where no one is threatening anyone? Hey, what if someone is suspected of cock fighting? Just have a celebrity drive a SWAT tank into their house. WCGW?
