It's best to keep your mouth shut. Always.

Adding video to channels (Fear, Howto) - requested by blankfist.

Being polite with law enforcement needs to be taught?

Important note: Simply remaining silent IS NOT invoking your right to remain silent. You MUST verbally state something to the effect of "I want to remain silent" to invoke this right thanks to a recent Supreme Court decision. See the links for more information:

Thanks to Blankfist, the entire series is now embedded for continuous play.

Great stuff, thanks guys! The more you here this kind of stuff, the easier it is to do it when it comes time. It is scary when confronted with men with guns, have to train yourself with this stuff

This could have been wriiten by the police. This is how they want us to act when they interact with us.

Pull over immediately. ? (really? what happened to get to a safe spot? Women on a dark road, go to a police or fire station).
Show your hands. grip the wheel. Turn on the lights so they can see in.
Dont talk back, be nice. Answer their questions unless you want to go to jail and tell it to the judge.
If you have nothing to hide , empty your pockets, otherwise be ready for trouble.
If your detained, just cooperate and get a lawyer. Dont make a fuss. Just do as your told or it will get worse.
Its hard to fight the police so just go down easy.

THis just seems like a film by The Man to keep the cattle calm, trying to pass as a movie that will help the cattle..

^I don't think so. For poor/minority areas where cops are used to using lies and intimidation to harass the residents, they absolutely don't want people knowing their rights as expounded in this video. The fact is, if every citizen knew and used the advice on this video, the dirty cops of the world would get away with much less than they do.

As far as the so-called 'obvious' instructions go (i.e., be polite, calm, etc), it's hard to be polite and calm when you are the constant subject of harassment, and are treated with disrespect by those who are supposed to be serving you. Righteous indignation is hard to keep down. The cops encourage this attitude because it gives them that much more justification to ignore your rights.

The fact that cops can lie to you about the law and the consequences of your actions is not something they want the average Joe to know.

You must of watched a different video. The video I watched was all about how to resist officers requests without giving them a reason to escalate the situation to you getting beat down and charged with felony assault. Don't talk back? Really? There were several very key and pivotal things you NEED to say when dealing with police which this video taught us. Go down easy? It isn't easy resisting people who aren't afraid to use force and have guns. What you are trying to do is fruit of the poison tree tactics. Give them no ground to go to except the unreasonable use of force, and you have a case to get them in trouble. If you give them reason or worse, permission, you are inviting in your own pain.

I think we all watched the same video. I admit I question things more than normal.
This rang of a video that the authorities would like to play for all the children everyday at the beginning of school. They tell you you have rights, this is comforting, then they tell you the proper way to be arrested and or released, depending on what the police decide to do with you. Wrong or right, just follow these steps and the police will have an easier time with you, and maybe you will recieve some kind of repreve, or not.
I know that the police will lie to us, and do whatever they want, regardless of our rights. I also know they will lie to each other, the court system, and the media, to be able to do and say anything they want. For the most part, once they are in control of you, it doesnt matter what you say about your rights. The video even states that the cops hate people who say they have rights and be prepared for the shitstorm if you go down that road. It's better to shut-up and obey.
I always try to be polite and cooperate, even though I really dislike and distrust the police.
Sometimes I just feel, Rights or not, Run!! Serpintine!Serpintine!Serpintine! dont look back.go go go.
Or just do as this vid says and hope for the best.

Except we know that if you run, the cops will shoot you.

I see the disconnect here. Let me explain. The people in this video trust the cops and the legal system much less than you. Their objective is to leave any police encounter alive, with limbs intact, and without some arbitrary felony thrown at them.

So, they're not hoping for the best, they are trying to prevent the worst.

For all your cynicism, I haven't heard any better ways from you to deal with cops. What advice would you give these people.>> ^csnel3:

I don't have any answers on a better way to deal with cops. I was just commenting on what I felt as I watched this video.I know its best just do as you are told by the police. I also know that doesnt always make it right. I have had some bad dealings with the police, never any major trouble, but enough to know that they can be liars and power tripping dickheads who know they can getaway with almost anything. I think its sad that we all know that cops are bad news, and are instructed to learn how to deal with it.
"we know that if you run, cops will shoot you" is a good example, running is now a capitol offense that requires deadly force? Running is a bad idea, curling up in the fetal posistion and pissing youself is the safest action when the police approach. (and No, i dont really reccomend it). >> ^longde:

I think a recent video from Seattle shows how a certain "minority community" tends to react when they interact with "the man".
