If Cops Demand Your Window Down, DO THIS... [View all] Joinfortmill Jan 31 OP

What worries me is that these roid-raging thugs will interpret someone getting out as a threat-- viva la Jan 31 #1

You only get out if they tell you to nt EX500rider Jan 31 #6

Seldom do I watch YouTube's because they take too long to get to the point..but this was outstanding, easy to watch and Ninga Jan 31 #2

Here is a little bit different take on this... NowsTheTime Jan 31 #3

Transcript. If you can't copy and paste or print out a video. usonian Jan 31 #13

really good information Roc2020 Jan 31 #4

not necessarily good information cab67 Jan 31 #5

Basically stay in the car with window down & hands in sight unless told to exit EX500rider Jan 31 #7

When ordered to get out of your car, lock the door behind you. It becomes another 4th Amendment blockade and the cops OMGWTF Jan 31 #14

If they don't have permission or probable cause EX500rider Jan 31 #19

If they can make up any reason to arrest you Cerulean Southpaw Feb 1 #36

Yeah, if I haven't had any dopers in my car, I don't see any reason for not letting them search it RandomNumbers Feb 1 #41

It looks like an advertisement. I say situational awareness is the first rule of self defense. littlemissmartypants Jan 31 #8

Would be nice to have a written list of do's and don't's . . . AverageOldGuy Jan 31 #10

Here you go. Jedi Guy Jan 31 #21

I used to get a lot of reels about how people act when a cop pulls them over, or otherwise approaches them. mucholderthandirt Jan 31 #24

To the best of my knowledge, ICE aren't cops in the way we normally think of them. Jedi Guy Feb 1 #34

If you rolled your window, can they just reach in and unlock the car? question everything Feb 1 #31

They could, yes. Jedi Guy Feb 1 #33

Question - if it's likely a traffic stop, why not just roll down the window before they even walk up? RandomNumbers Feb 1 #43

Oh, common sense Fla_Democrat Feb 1 #44

Good luck rolling the window up & locking the door ...instead simply state that "I do not concent to any searches" NowsTheTime Jan 31 #11

Yes, You start rolling up your windows before getting out..... Zackzzzz Jan 31 #18

Transcript, in case you can'r memorize videos. usonian Jan 31 #12

Can't they just unlock the door Mossfern Jan 31 #16

The exception to everything he said.... Staph Jan 31 #17

Also bad advice in my opinion EX500rider Jan 31 #23

I live in a rural area where the closest populated area might be 10 miles away. MichMan Jan 31 #26

I haven't forgotten the murder of Cara Knott by on-duty CHP Craig Peyer in 1986 chia Jan 31 #27

I don't find it very good advice in my opinion EX500rider Jan 31 #22

I liked Chris Rock's video better Polybius Jan 31 #25

That's a good one! 👍nt Raine Feb 1 #32

It is probably good legal advice for a routine traffic stop, but it will not work with ICE Bluetus Jan 31 #28

"Understand that in every state AFAIK, assault does not require any physical contact." MichMan Feb 1 #29

That is the law. But the difference is the police don't get to decide that. Bluetus Feb 1 #30

I was merely responding to your hypothetical with another one MichMan Feb 1 #37

It is not a hypothetical Bluetus Feb 1 #38

OK MichMan Feb 1 #39

I never said that Bluetus Feb 1 #40

Several elected officials have talked about arresting ICE agents "If they break laws" MichMan Feb 1 #42

I have already identified the laws for you. There are many others Bluetus Feb 1 #45

I guess we just disagree MichMan Feb 1 #46

Won't happen in reality. RandiFan1290 Feb 1 #35
