COMMENT BY ADMINISTRATOR: It is against the rules to change a person's words when quoting them
I saw the video a long time ago. (all of them) I don’t know CA State or Local laws. Do you?
after that, he kept asking questions, that wont get you anywhere with the cops.
Contempt of cop is not a charge. Asking questions is illegal in CA?
he should have told them that they needed RAS of a crime before they could get a warrant! So now, it is our job to tell cops how to do their job?
he should have told them that he will not talk anymore without his lawyer! he should have told them, arrest me now, or go away!
You are right I agree 100% with you. Have you ever been put on the spot like that? Have you ever told a LEO that? Something tells me that you are a LEO.
may have been able to stop this trampling from getting out of hand
in the first place! There is no way in hell that he could have stopped the power hungry cops from doing what they did. You remind me of novacop
I apologize that I didn't comment on this post earlier, as it was a direct attack on me (by calling me out using my name). I'm sure XDM wanted me to respond to his remarks by doing so, so to make him happy..
Well, as I mentioned above, I didn't agree with their legal tactics after a certain point of securing the man and his residence. It seemed completely legal up to that point in my opinion. With that said, I disagree with Mr. XDM (internet lawyer) on some points.
Why would the man in the video have to tell the cops they need RAS before they could search? He has NO idea what the police were told when they were responding to the scene and the police usually aren't going to share their RAS with you. You don't know what intelligence was gathered, nor do I . I venture to guess they honestly believed they had something serious going on since there were multiple officers dispatched going priority (lights/sirens).
I see in your post you believe the man should have stated "arrest me now or go away"? Do you understand the simple legal standing of being detained for RAS but not arrested (Terry). Detained to determine if a crime took place, but that doesn't mean you are under arrest. Nor would the police have to "arrest him or go away" hahahahahahahaha. That is 4th amendment class 101.
Wait, wait, you contradict yourself.... so he should have told them they need RAS and asked questions, or he should have asked for a lawyer and remained silent? You can't do both. You sound like an ignorant internet poster with NO formal legal training or experience...am I wrong? If I am wrong, we would all like you to share what formal training, education, and/or experience you have. That is not an attack on you, it's merely pointing out that you aren't USER and shouldn't post legal standings unless you want to use cites. I don't post up legal stuff that I know nothing about unless I back it with laws. You continue to do so which poorly gives misguided information to visitors of the site and reflects badly upon yourself.
In my earlier post I agreed that the police crossed the line towards the end, where they went into a locked safe. XDM seems to think they crossed the line when they went to the property, which I disagree. If he wants to prove that, I will allow him to explain how they crossed the line explaining what laws they crossed and how.
PS...funny that the administrator had to call out XDM because he changes words when quoting others.
