im posting this because these cops are a complete joke. they are just average joes with inflated egos all because they are carrying a gun and badge. know your rights and you wont have to worry the next time you get pulled over for something completely stupid. first off most cops violate your constitutional 4th amendment rights. which states a cop must have PROBABLE CAUSE to stop you. driving too slow is not probable cause. stopping your car, and then moving on is not probable cause. walking down the street is not probable cause. most cops know this, and they think they can get all cute to harrass you anyways. unless a cop is 100% sure he's got you, the scariest words in the world to him are 'lets deal with it in court'. whats their motto? tell it to a judge. tell it to the idoit cops face, when he is too busy harrassing you with a million questions because he has nothing. he can claim 'oh your suspicous' how so? go tell it ot a judge then!
and even if a cop stops you, he will try and play it off as if its some kind of informal convo 'hey buddy where you going?" why the hell do you care? what are you my dad? because if its an informal convo the cop cant keep you around, unless he is making an official stop, then you cant leave till he says so, so do keep that in mind.
and if you plead your case right, this idoit cop will look like a bufoon in front of a judge. on the street he will talk big crap, even start yelling at you for no reason, or talking down or rudely to you. let him, do it, because in court he is a complete joke. he has no authority and no power, and thats all whats its important the most. if you make the right argument i promise you, you could win your own case in traffic court. and always remember, the more a cop talks, the more questions he asks, the less he has on you. he will threaten you, he will claim ill bust you for this, ill haul you down to the station for that, ill write you a ticket for such and such, if he really could do it, he would have done it by then without saying a word.
and should you get pulled over, always look at the star badge # and he officers name. try and write it down on a paper in your car so you wont forget. and if he tries to pull any stunt on you, always file a complaint with his depart. even if nothing happens to him right away, down the road when that moron really messes up, the complain will sit on his record, along with a whole host of other complaints as well.
Driver Tased For Asking Officer Why He Was Stopped

A man was tased and arrested on a Utah highway after being stopped by an officer and refusing to sign a speeding ticket because he did not understand what offence he had committed or why he had been pulled over.
The encounter, captured on the police car camera on September 14th and released this week, is the latest in a long string of incidents involving the unacceptable use of Tasers by officers on citizens whom the evidence reveals are in no way threatening, acting unlawfully or resisting co-operation.
The video shows the Utah Highway Patrolman pull over Jared Massey and his pregnant wife who also had their baby with them in the car and ask for Mr Massey's license.
Mr Massey tells the officer he does not understand why he has been stopped or what he is being charged with, at which point the officer orders Massey to get out of the car. The officer then puts down his clipboard and immediately takes out his Taser and points it at Mr Massey without any provocation whatsoever, yelling "Turn around and put your hands behind your back" as Massey attempts to point out the speed limit sign and engage the officer in conversation.
A shocked Massey asks "what the hell is wrong with you?" and backs away, turning around as the officer had demanded, at which point the officer unleashes 50,000 volts from the Taser into Massey's body, sending him screaming to the ground instantly and causing his wife to jump out of the car and yell hysterically for help.
Lying face down on the ground a shell shocked, Mr Massey says "officer I don't know what you are doing, I don't know why you are doing what you are doing" to which the officer replies "I am placing you under arrest because you did not obey my instruction."
Mr Massey then once again asks the officer several times why he was stopped and what he is being charged with. He then asks for his rights to be read and points out that the officer cannot arrest him without doing this. Instead of reading Massey his rights the officer then addresses another patrolman who arrives on the scene sardonically commenting "Ohhh he took a ride with the Taser" to which the other officer answers "painful isn't it".
The icing on the cake comes at the end of the video when the officer LIES to his own colleague about the encounter, clearly stating that he verbally warned Massey he was going to tase him, as is the law, when there was no warning whatsoever.
Mr Massey is planning to file a lawsuit against the Utah Highway Patrol. He says he was already slowing down as he approached the 40 mile per hour sign in the construction zone outside of vernal. All charges except for the speeding ticket have been dropped.
This amazing video reveals how eroded civil and constitutional rights have now become. The officer had no legal right to make Massey sign any document he did not understand
Tasers are supposed to be the last response before lethal action, however, police now use them as if they are batons or pepper spray.
In the last year over 300 people have died in admitted cases in the US alone from being tased. In the last week alone we have posted three separate stories of Taser deaths. Every week we post stories of incidents, which often feature old women, children and disabled people as the victims. The weapons are even being used in schools.
The police are now trained that "pain compliance," a euphemism for torture, is acceptable in apprehending anyone even if that person poses no physical danger. If you electrify any person, they suffer extreme pain and stand a high chance of being killed.
Despite this, idiotic media hacks such as Fox News host Brian Kilmead are happy to promote police state tactics, selling the idea that protestors or people that merely question authority in any way are threatening and should be tased or "beaten to a pulp".
This phenomenon is out of control, how many more acts of wanton police brutality, torture and death by means of tasering are we to endure?
Taser use is being abused by police all over the country and beyond as cops are trained that torture is a perfectly acceptable response to somebody who acts out of the ordinary, asks the wrong question or refuses to show their papers.
