Unbelievable Tactics Police Actually Use

As one who has been on both sides of the badge, I have one piece of advice. If at any point in a potentially negative police interaction, you think it could lead to the loss of your personal freedom. Stick to the 5th and ask for a lawyer. Even if you haven't; and know you haven't done anything wrong. There are moments when the police are your friends and moments when they are not. When they are not, get a professional because they are way better at getting you into a cell than you are at getting out of one. If you hear yourself say, "Do I need a lawyer here?" Then you really do. Nice video! 👍

The fact that the burglars got caught by lauging at the offiser is so funny😂🤣

I remember all the push back from the Police when body cams were going to become standard. Common sense says no one should be above the law

I was stopped in North Minneapolis Minnesota once. The cop yelled at me, stole my Swiss Army knife, and accused me repeatedly of trying to buy cocaine. I spent a night in jail, and when I tried to get a public defender, they dropped the charges (really bull ones too).

I was sixteen when this happened. I was playing baseball and the cops stopped the game and told me I was a suspect in a rape case. they put me in the car and took me directly to the victim to be identified was really nervous. She told the cops I wasn't the person who attacked her. They drove me back to the field and no one was there. both teams were at my house stressing out my parents. It's amazing how innocent people can get into trouble.

sneakiest one I've encountered: A cop usually, or most definitely (depending on where you are) needs to have a reason to pull you over or stop you. But, they don't need a real reason. You ask why, they just say, "You matched the description of someone we're looking for." And that's all they need. Happened to me and my friends all the time, and we were different ages, heights, weights, colors, hair lengths and colors, etc. That's when we started to tease them when they did it "What description? A short tall black white guy girl with light dark short long hair? Do they have 2 legs too? Cause you might have got us there."

You described the range-R's function in exactly the opposite way it works. It pretty much works like any other radar. It beams out a signal and everything it hits sends an amount back to the device. It detects changes between bursts which indicates movement. Moving things don't automatically reflect signals, they block signals from stationary objects differently after they have moved.

Imma show them this video and still get arrested 😂

In the 80's, when I was in my early 20's, my now ex-husband told me he was going to the grocery store. After some time he called me & told me the car was stolen from the parking lot. Come to find out the idiot got involved with a state police sting & when he reported the car stolen to our town police the staties already had possession of it. Some time later I found all this out because he got pulled into the DA's office, with the DA & the state police there. It was explained to him what he got involved in & also told that if he gave up the person who told him about the chop shop they wouldn't charge me. He gave up the person since he didn't want me involved & low & behold the assholes charged me anyway. My charges got completely dismissed, not only did they not have any proof I was involved...I WASN'T involved. Unfortunately before this my name & face were dragged through the mud. Every local newspaper & television station made us their poster children for the entire thing, I'm assuming because we were the only people dressed decently & appropriately for court, when he was the lowest man on that sting totem pole. I tell you this loooooong story to recommend you say what I'm going to say (after I tell THEM my loooooong story), if questioned by any police officer, whether innocent or guilty, I WANT A LAWYER. They're lying sneaky bastards & I don't trust a one of them in any interrogation!

My son came home from history class and shared what he learned from the detective who was their guest speaker. “The police are NOT your friend!”

As far as the police sirens go there is one more that is being used in the USA. It is called the rumbler siren. It has a very low bass tone that can be mixed in with the other sounds. The bass is felt by those in front of the police vehicle getting your attention much quicker.

I have been pulled over a few times. They don't touch the tail-light, they whack it. Then they come up with an excuse, "Good looking car." Which is odd as I drove a '74 Pinto. My usual reaction was, "You're kidding, right ?" He'd nod, "No, it's a fine reliable vehicle." then get to business asking for license and registration.

Imagine those moms on Maury finding out polygraphs are not 100%

With the request to search the vehicle, just make sure you say "I do not consent to any searches." If they search anyways, then just let them. Anything they find in an illegal search is inadmissible in a court of law. So, if they do find something you did or did not know was there, then they cannot use it as evidence unless they had constitutionally legal exception to the warrant requirement.

I am now halfway through my 8th decade, and looking at more. I began Life with a lot of trust in authority. Presumptive Authority soon taught me (the hard way) that they were NOT to be trusted. Not being a total fool I learned, not only from the best, but also from the worst of them. Their perfidy, clashing against integrity they didn't understand, began bringing them more and more embarrassment and grief. And I was always watching, learning. Be careful, but remember ... he who lives the most years has the most opportunity for revenge. There are some good cops out there. But the Systems beat the good out of them. Remember, by its very definition, The State is an amoral (careful there!) entity. Given the best framework, poorly defined even by the most noble of its Founders, The State can rise no higher than the corruption that lies within its source. As fine as its songs may be, they only get in the way. Seek Wisdom, and seek Truth in all things. And trust no man.

I have dealt with awesome cops, and some who were " just NOT nice". One of the worst experiences I had. My apartment building was over 600 feet away from a road block . I lived in a complex. I always wear my seat belt. I didn't even see the road block , and pulled out, and went IN the way of the roadblock. I pull over, just like everyone else. He checks the registration, the plates, ( everything is legal and up to date) And I HAVE my seat belt ON! I DID not put it on when I saw the roadblock. He accuses me, of seeing me put my seat belt on , when I saw the roadblock? Now mind you, my complex was over 600 feet away, there are NUMEROUS cars in front of me, I wasnt driving a super sports car. ( which they target). So I politely said, I had my seatbelts on , when I got in my car, over 600 feet away when I pulled out of the parking lot. So now he gets angry, because I am questioning him, and demands my drivers license. Clean as a whistle, which makes him more angry. He wrote me a ticket, for failure of wearing my seat belt. I was FURIOUS!!!! But didn't show it. So the next day, I explained the entire situation to the DA in a letter, charges dropped, but STILL had to pay court fees?! And it NEVER went to court. I don't care what anyone says, some cops have quotas. That is why some are accusing, innocent people, and safe drivers with undeserved accusations.

I got in a foot pursuit years ago before I retired.. Once I started getting closer to him I started growling and snarling like a dog.. The suspect heard it and immediately stopped , fell to the ground and begged me to NOT let the dog bite him!! Lol I was laughing so hard I could barely cuff him.. We still joke about it today when we see each other in town.. great memories!!

Was offered a soda. When I finished I folded the can up and stuck it in my pocket. I just have a habit of not tossing cans because I recycle them.

The dirtiest thing a cop could do is always going to be to claim Qualified Immunity.
