Asking Cops The Same Silly Questions They Ask Us, Cop Car Searched

it's a sheriff i don't know what county though criminal interdiction unit state of texas sheriff's office [Music] looks like license plate reader hey what's up yeah how about you what department are you with i work for colin county sheriff's office colin county yes sir uh you got id on you i sure do can i see it please if you want to see my yeah please i need to see your id yeah okay yeah you licensed to carry that firearm okay you do me a favor and uh i'm sorry hold on [Music] that's kind of loud that's drowning you do me a favor while i'm dealing with you can we go ahead and put your firearm up for my safety absolutely it is customary for police as soon as they arrive at any scene to make sure that no one else is armed with any sort of weapon and to disarm anyone who is before knowing anything else about who the people are or what is going on and even regardless of whether the people are legally armed wonderful touching it okay what are we doing we're hiking we're hiking yep some reason why you have this because i can well okay oh hey no don't disarm me man all right why are you taking my [ __ ] head i'm not touching the gun all right i'm putting this on tape i'm being recorded too good you're trying to disarm me illegally i'm gonna disarm you i am gonna disarm you we're like we're laughing is i'm going to ask you to put your hands out like this straight to your sides and then remove the fire in front of you it might be the same yeah okay well spread your arm out please like this both of them straight up excellent go ahead and turn away from me for a second excellent but you know i don't consent to any stretching the seizures i understand that i'm not seizing anything the obvious purpose of this practice is to immediately create a huge imbalance of power where only the law enforcers have the ability to forcibly impose their will on others imagine the arrogance required for an average citizen to arrive on some scene unfamiliar with the situation and the people involved and have his very first thought be nobody is allowed to have a weapon except me you do me a favor while i'm dealing with you can we go ahead and put your firearm up for my safety absolutely no i just need for my safety i'm sorry can i see that id though i did i needed to get closer to it but i just showed it to you i couldn't actually see it i was trying to make sure that i was safe before we saw your idea okay so you're licensed to carry that fire yes okay for my safety you don't want to go ahead and put it up you don't want to have that respect for me and my safety okay why is that because this is my duty but okay so i didn't actually see your id what's your name then my name is lieutenant yant with the colin county sheriff's office lieutenant john all right what are you uh what are you out here doing today in the wrong house right now okay where are you headed to going to work all right so you're not on the clock right now i am on the clock all right um what brought you to work to rock wall today i work all over the state of texas so you're calling county but you kind of just float around everywhere so do you patrol rockwall county then i do myself okay do you do stops out here in rockwall county also all right um next question is uh do you actually do you have anything illegal on you that i should know about no sorry no okay you don't have any drugs or illegal firearms or anything in the vehicle all right would you mind if i take a look i guess i would if i if i can i can just have you sit on the curb right over there you don't get to search me but if for example someone was confronted by a stranger without a badge who started interrogating the person in an obviously accusatory way and asked to be allowed to search that person's pockets his car and his home not only would the person being accosted almost certainly refuse but he would probably be outraged at the request if i if i can i can just have you sit on the curb right over there you don't get to search me but of course you can't rummage through my stuff who do you think you are why is that because you have no reason to search me but when strangers with badges make such requests they are the ones offended when the targets of their intrusive unjustified harassments accusations and searches object and refuse to cooperate even when the officers know full well that the fourth and fifth amendments to the u.s constitution specifically dictate that a person has no legal duty to answer questions or consent to searches such lack of cooperation i.e failure to unquestioningly bow to the officer's every women request is still seen by the police as a sign that the person must be some sort of criminal and enemy of the state only a despicable low life would ever treat a representative of authority in the same manner that he treats everyone else why is that because you have no reason to search me well there was a guy actually who fit your description dressed in a clown costume that was planting drugs on people out here in rock wall watch out um there was actually someone in the same clown costume planting drugs on people on rockwall and so you know when i see someone like yourself dressed in the same costume you know i figure i don't know if it's some type of uh organized gang that's going around doing it but when you're wearing the same costume you know it's pretty suspicious and it you know if if there's nothing to hide i don't see why there would be a problem with me just checking it out and that way you know me the public everyone has peace of mind that uh you aren't going around planting drugs i don't have anything well then can i check no sir okay you you're more than welcome to look in my car you're okay you're not going to search it okay you can stand right there and look at can i put the camera in there then you can take a look yes sir okay i don't want you to break the threshold of my door okay what do you mean break oh is that is that breaking the threshold here so i just broke the yeah that's called a search of that okay so i can't check out that bag right there's a computer in that bag can we see you want to see inside yeah okay all right anything else in there um holder okay nothing else in the in the smaller pockets i have some uh some deals to hook it up to uh computer cables and stuff like that all right would you like to see the back of my car yeah yeah i'll be more than happy to show you all right so these are all my tools of the trade i have a ladder here for searching vehicles um i have a ladder for searching vehicles yes sir if we have to make access into a tractor trailer something high that we can't get to just by jumping up or something like that it's a collapsible ladder i have seals of search uh seals to seal up tractor trailers tools uh glass from my windshield evidence bags business cards do you want one of those uh sure yeah i'll take one of those since i didn't actually get to see your id that's true i know but i was more worried about the the firearm and who you are you know what i mean i gotta i gotta try to secure the the scene you know what i mean in their authoritarian enforcement training they are specifically taught to treat people as inferiors to always try to gain control of everyone and everything the moment they arrive on scene so i have a plate carry here in case we need a rifle if it's a dangerous situation a ballistic helmet um extra ammo rubber gloves camera here change of clothes another another backpack so there's no no drugs in there either change of clothes toiletry items here so you get my deodorant face wash q-tips you can have a jack there's a tool kit back there what else you want to see uh this is where we store our rifles okay this is restore your rifles yeah okay it's long that rifle right right there if i have to get out and go someplace and we'll secure our rifle in there uh oc spray which i don't carry okay another vest for for when we have civilian riders come with come ride with us i'd like to put them in a vest so there's can i wear that one while i'm dealing with you there oh sure in case okay just for my safety all i think about is my safety you know what i mean i'm thinking about my safety i don't know who you are buddy yeah so yeah uh i'm not really that worried about it um what's your name it's safety what's your name country man what's your badge number 140 now get the hell away from me get the hell away from me for your safety go [ __ ] yourself just all i think about all day every day is my safety and nobody else's you know what i mean cleaning supplies and my jack stuff right there cool rain pants you want to see can we check the glove box real quick binoculars see some pills in there yeah they're dietary supplements okay um air fresheners magazines business cards a watch an earpiece i see the the pill so those are dietary supplements they are yes sir what does it say on there control true control um pair of leg restraints binoculars okay what else i i think it looks good man that answer all your questions yeah yeah do you want to come to a ride-along uh no come on with you yeah i mean you know if you want to take me then i'll come but i'm not if you're really interested in law enforcement you want to see what we do every day the united states of america incarcerates more people than any other country in the world in fact the u.s hosts more prison inmates than all other developed nations combined want to know see what we do every day in 2010 the us was home to about 309 million people four and a half percent of the world's total population but housed 23 percent of the world's prisoners see what we do every day we imprison more people than enormous autocratic countries like china we imprison more people than russia see what we do every day compared to the size of our population our rate of imprisonment dwarfs our closest allies like the united kingdom france and canada perhaps the nickname land of the free home of the brave should be updated though i suppose you need to be brave to endure the highest likelihood of incarceration the world has ever known a free nation shouldn't imprison so many people and a fiscally responsible nation can't afford to then please ride along i mean if you want to take me i'd be happy to come but i'm not going to sign any papers to come in you don't have to sign anything and i will be carrying okay okay we can do that then um is your cell phone number on here nope i'll write it down on there for you though okay if you like for me too or you can just call it yeah i'll call there yeah you can call it 972-547-5100 ask for me okay and they'll patch you through to me or they'll put you through to my desk and you'll let me come on right along without doing any background checks or or any giving any id whatsoever when you do a ride along with us you do have to go through you do have to do the standard hey let's make sure that you're not wanted or anything like that then you come out of it okay i won't do that you won't do that no you got warrants nope okay sure don't yeah all right yeah it's just a matter of you don't want to yeah that's fine yeah i mean i'd be happy to come with you as two human beings right um but you know this whole searching somebody's vehicle thing i think it's out of line so why'd you actually search mine because cops do its people all the time i just wanted to flip it and you know i think it's i think it's out of line personally we don't search people's cars without probable cause or without consent yeah i see it all the time you know i've had uh i've had employees of mine in the area searched by rockwall county sheriff where you know a lot of times the consent is achieved it is attained by intimidation tactics um now am i saying that you personally have done that no i'm not but well i'm i'm very i'm very certain to ask people when i ask for consent do you understand it's a voluntary consent right right you understand you have the right to tell me no you understand you have the right to refuse and you also understand you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time okay i'm sure to let people know all four of those things which i don't have to about law okay so yeah that that's why i try to teach people what their rights are because most cops won't tell you that's why they'll just try to abuse and that's why i encourage people to come out and ride it okay well i'd be happy to go ride with you like i said but man you're gonna have to do that basic yeah i won't do that maybe uh maybe i'll get somebody maybe one of my viewers will will be willing to do it and they can go along the report if they're willing to submit to uh what do you have like a certain channel or something yeah okay cool what's your name uh i don't want to give it right now what's in under so i can see myself on youtube well you're live right now oh on youtube i am yeah yeah there's 600 people watching youtube or facebook youtube what are they saying about it i don't know the chat is uh my my chat isn't working right i'm not gonna be mad it's not uh no it's just not reloading it's just not reloading so i keep having to hit live chat here we go now it's reloading james this is awesome for the most part this cop avoids most drug questions if you had a drug dog this cop would have dog tested this dude is awesome while james you just found a real officer who is patient polite and friendly i give this man a thumbs up uh newsnow forward says he knows he's on camera damn he is with him see ride with him says come ride with me and dog uh yeah i don't have a canine so i can't get a false head so look at that one he's a good cop well well thank you i appreciate it my my viewers are pretty harsh too the last time i found a good cop they were still sitting there talking mad trash about it where was the good cop oh man where was it it was out past fort worth i can't remember the name of where it was at though the video's got like 80 thousand views it was just a really young guy and usually they're arrogant and cocky and he was just i've been doing he offered he offered to put his gun up really yeah well i'm not going to do that because i don't know if your name james yeah james i don't know if this is a setup that there's somebody out there no i understand i wouldn't actually i'm not gonna i wouldn't actually really want anyone to disarms but again that's one of those things that i see cops walk up on the scene the first thing i want to do is disarm everybody i don't want you disarmed ever at all or me or anyone for that matter a gun-free zone is a government-sanctioned kill zone and i honestly i want everybody that has the legal authority to carry no such thing as legal i want everybody i want everybody shall not be infringed okay let me rephrase that james everyone who's not in a prison cell for for non-violent victimless crimes i want everybody who can responsibly carry to be able to carry okay to be able to carry their firearm that have been through the appropriate training that know how to handle a firearm and know how to how to how to handle a firearm and not just go pointing at people for all willy-nilly reasons yeah does that make sense so i don't know if you're carrying i can't see i definitely wouldn't ever pull it out okay yeah well good uh but i encourage you if unless if you can carry james i encourage you to to carry because you could be the person that stops a crime one day right but when we're not there too yeah you know when by can carry anyways yeah government infringes on that shall not be infringed well i just hope that um here's what i hope then here's what i would love you seem like a decent guy i would love you to take it to the next level the next time you find a guy who's carrying illegally that you assess the situation and decide if you think he should have the right to defend himself what do you consider illegal without uh well in texas for example you're supposed to have a license to carry you're supposed to buy permission from the government yes sir there's a few states who have gone to constitutional carry texas is working on getting there open carry texas is really trying to push it right i don't know if you heard but but the politicians are are the republicans essentially have pretty much thrown that out at this point because they're afraid to lose to the democrats in the next election um so i guess the whole point is you don't need a license to carry you shouldn't shall not be in fringe the reason we call it constitutional carry when you don't have to have a license to carry is because anything else would be unconstitutional right so my only hope would be that you know if you find someone that has a firearm that they're carrying and they didn't buy permission to do so that you would assess the situation as a human being rather than as a cop well as law enforcement officers we have to assess each and every single situation that we come across yeah it's not it's it's it's not just hey you don't have a weapon you're going or you don't have a permit you're going to jail there could be some reason for it they could be going to and from their place of hunting or something like that so we have to as law enforcement we do have to assess every single situation on on a case-by-case basis truth is everyone should have the right to self-defense though in any situation i totally agree and that is what levels the playing ground that is what makes an 80 year old woman a threat i mean be able to defend herself against a grown man like you right but but there's but there's also people that lose that right to carry once they commit certain crimes in the united states over 70 of the people in our prisons on felonies are in there for victimless non-violent crimes because of the failing drug war when it started in the 70s 1.3 percent of the country was addicted to illicit drugs 40 years later 1.3 percent of the country is still addicted to illicit drugs now we have a bigger incarceration rate than any other totalitarian nation in the entire world so the whole idea that because you committed a quote crime uh i mean we got a lot of to me that's how we systematically disarm good people um i mean you got a an addiction i got an addiction it's red bull okay it's legal though right and and to me that's more harmful than a lot of the the illegal things that are out things yours is what bangs what's that you know the energy drink bang okay and they're more harmful than a lot of the things that are illegal so it's not a matter of you know government shouldn't be controlling that and to take away somebody's right to defend themselves because they're addicted to a substance that we're not addicted to and government said that we can do our thing that's a personal opinion well i'm not gonna give my personal opinion but you've got to you have to i don't i mean you don't have to give it but you you should be using your own discretion all the time but you also have to understand that how many of these illicit narcotics and these illicit drugs destroy homes oh yeah and and some people are addicted to opioids opioid crisis right now yeah and can people say it's not a crisis the the the heroine that is infiltrating our community coming from afghanistan after we invaded afghanistan and started uh producing opium again you know what james i have never gotten anybody with heroin that originated from afghanistan okay did it originate from a pharmacy did not originate from the farmers okay because i mean that's one of the actually the biggest problem is is uh prescription drugs right narcotics and so you're absolutely right but also know that with the price of prescription narcotics going up and the crackdown that's been on doctors is that people are having to go to other avenues to get their opioid addiction fixed yeah so we have to get a control on the opinion yeah well i know people who have been legally addicted for decades and they're they're restricting the amount that they can they can and so now they're going out to the streets to get it you know the government controlling all this stuff isn't good for anybody i would it would be good if i would get off a red bull and you would get off of whatever you're addicted to and it would be good if they would get off of heroin but if i threw you in a cage and said you're a bad man now because you put that in your body and it's harmful to your body is that fair you know that's that's your personal opinion okay um i know that everybody uses this analogy and you probably hear way too much but it's real um just following orders is not an excuse right all the worst atrocities in the human history all the mass murders and human the worst mass murders in human history were done in the name of law not against the law but in the name of law there was nothing illegal about the holocaust i know i know you've heard it a thousand times right but me and you both are perfectly capable of doing horrible things because we choose not to choose for ourselves what we believe is right and wrong and allow politicians to dictate to us what is right and wrong so anyways that's that's your personal opinion yeah well well james hey man do you got any other questions for me no man i appreciate you talking with me and let me check out the vehicle your buddies too um i actually have people watching me live and so they'll come and back up camera me all the time okay because a lot of times i'll get tackled tased beaten you know arrested so have you felt unsafe with me no i haven't have i answered all your questions yes is there anything else i can help you no i appreciate it will you come and ride with me as long as i don't have to do a background check about coming in let me ask you this if i have a pending felony can i ride with you man i don't i'll have to ask my sheriff it's fake anyways okay he's from police chief in leon valley he's going to prison where's leon it's in bear county san antonio yeah so you go all around doing this all over the country really yeah no way yeah this is my home though rock ball is yeah okay well i've never mentioned do you do that this is a lot of the rock wall and rowlet police are the ones who got me started doing this really because of their abuses have we ever had a bad idea hurt me and you personally no never met you no i just want to make sure no names we've only had a good one now well my name is tully again all right that's my first name all right if you want if you want to come up oh i'll be more than happy to take you or any of your other viewers out okay if you're gonna put my card on there i know they're gonna inundate myself my voicemail well it's uh i mean they they do it both ways for you saw the comments on here people don't hate you they like you um and you know they uh they uh they tend to call when they're really upset they also will call and give compliments though so well if they want to call and give a compliment sheriff jim skinner that's my sheriff colin county okay they can say that they watched your youtube channel or facebook live is it facebook youtube youtube yep all right this will be uploaded when oh it's live right now so it's already up i will probably since it's an over it's over a 40 minute video right now well i've been live for a while i had to stop over there with rock wall pd and i try to treat people the way i want them to treat my wife yeah you know if if my wife and my kids were standing right here how would i want somebody to treat you lock them up if they got a plant right if they've got weed lock them up james manhattan you take their guns all right man be careful out here filming folks okay yeah i i don't want you to get hurt i don't i don't want you to you know the world's a dangerous place i know it is and and that's why i wear this stuff yeah the idea that we can somehow legislate safety or whatever you know it's always going to be a dangerous place all right man all right brother take care bud have a good one take care sir

Totally professional, get this cop off the streets and have him train in the academy.

[u/[deleted]]

I’m pretty critical of cops but that guy is calm and extremely accommodating. Good for him.

[u/IDoneGotOld]

America some of the most dangerous police in the world. We imprison so many. This cop could have done what we've seen so many times before, and didn't.
Cop recognized what the guy was doing between the questioning and camera. He passed the test we all expect of all our officers.

[u/Pazuzu2212]

I’m 99% sure I’ve ran into this officer before. My 03 mitsu galant ran out of gas on the highway and he came up on his cycle offering all the help he could. My mother was on her way so I thankfully rejected any help. So, he started doing radar right there too, after he asked me if it was okay lol. .He also offered to teach me about how it’s done and I thankfully rejected but encouraged him to go ahead! If this isn’t him then, well, here’s a story of a nice guy I met on the side of a highway!

[u/Alien_taco_bar]

is do you have an ID really a silly question?

[u/PBR--Streetgang]

Some cops suck, but these guys are wankers in almost every video I watch them in.

[u/Carson_BloodStorms]

This is a public freakout how exactly?

[u/jmazz11]

So dumb
