Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) --------------

I had apparently waited too long to pay a "using a phone while driving" ticket, and my license had been suspended for months. The cop ticketed me for the expired tags, advised me on how to contact the court to pay the old ticket, and how I could get my license re-instated after doing so. Then he sent me on my way. That cop could have REALLY fucked up my day. Thankfully, he didn't. I have no idea why he let me drive away with a suspended license other than that I was decent to him during the stop, and he was using his discretion to return that respect.

Personally, and as a lawyer, I find that the concept of "qualified immunity" is completely counterintuitive. Law operates on the assumption that people cannot be excused based on ignorance of the law ('ignorantia juris non excusat')... and yet, the people who should be the least ignorant about law - as they are constantly applying it - are the ones who can get away with not knowing the law as long as the mistake is found to be reasonable. That makes absolutely no sense. If a reasonable mistake exempts an officer of punishment, it should also exempt a common citizen in an analogous treatment, particularly because common sense dictates that the common citizen is bound to know less about the law than an average worker in a law enforcement career. I really could never wrap my head around this concept, and am glad that this abomination is not ubiquitous all around the world.

[@dafien530]

that is actually a great argument against qualified immunity. Especially if the mistake is pointed out, and they refuse to listen. Like one in California you have the right to conceal carry without a permit while on your own property I have not tested this as I don't have the police out to my house often. I also threatened to shoot my neighbors dog if it left his property again, telling a cop this then citing the exact California code that allows me to kill my neighbors dog even if it isn't on my property because it has attacked my goats and chickens and killed 3 cats (cats keep the rats away and are considered livestock as well for this purpose)and I don't have prove that. Animal control wants proof.. I witnessed the dog attack one of out cats on my property that resulted in the cats leg needing to be amputated. pretty bad.. The cop wasn't 'happy' mumbling something about discharging a firearm in city limits, and I also in formed him we were in the county and the city limits was my fence line... again he wasn't happy.. but couldn't do anything as I am well within my rights and totally correct. I read the California code, I have a paper copy from 2014... so fun stuff knowing more of about the law than actual law enforcement

[@ArissXAS]

That is a very interesting explanation. I wonder what would happen if this cop got sued, he would be saved by qualified immunity, then I would drive there as an European, I would get pulled over and fined for not having a valid driving license, and when cited to court, I would try to defend myself by using this guy's case against the cop. I would ask not to be fined for my mistake, as the cop was cleared for his wrong doings for the same mistake. If that would happen, do you think I would be exempted from paying the fine? Would it matter that one of their cops was exempted for the same wrong doing?

[@theozBandit]

Hi Demetrius, a question,. can you please help us answer this, just curious with the people cannot be excused on the basis of the 'ignorance of law' like you said.. ok...now if I was to ask you, "how many people died yesterday in the world" in where your reply would be "I'm not sure or I don't know" therefore...does that make you 'ignorant' that you do not know how many OR does it make you ill-informed? How can a persons be ignorant of something, IF you did not know that the law actually exsisted? So is a persons expected to know every law there is so as not to break the law? Can you explain how this is possible as we have been trying to find an answer for ages. Any info explaining is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance..👍 Chris.

[@ArissXAS]

@@theozBandit I am not Demetrius, but I will tell you how this works in Europe. Here you are expected to go to your embassy from that country to inform yourself on the laws present there. Almost no one does it, or at least no one I know, but I found this out researching the internet. From the day you arrive in that country, you are supposed to have at least the basic knowledge, before you could arrive to the embassy. For example every country has its own road tax, and many are different than the others in each country. For some you can pay for a sticker for all the highways. In other countries you are checked when you enter a certain road/highway, and you pay when you leave the road. The parking is different in each country, but everyone is expecting that you inform yourself before going there, not when you arrive. So.. this might not answer your question, but this is how it's done in the EU.

[@demetriusmorgenroth2835]

@@theozBandit Interesting questions, Chris. Let me tackle the points one at a time; do note, however, that little details might change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, even though I will do my best to keep to what is more or less constant in all places. (Side Note: There is a TL;DR at the bottom with simplified observations.) 1. Definition of Ignorance: From a legal perspective, "ignorance of the law" means "stating that one did not know about the existence of a specific section of law, particularly one applicable to the present case". Although there can be some semantic debate on whether that would actually entail ignorance or just a lack of information, this is the overall definition applicable in a legal sense. For example, a defence based on a defendant that claims he "did not know smoking marijuana in state X is illegal" is a defence based on ignorance of the law. The reason for that lies in the Latin "ignorantia", which means quite literally "not knowing". Although common language kind of implies that an ignorant person doesn't want to know, we have no such assumption in law. 2. To put it quite plainly, yes - and this is something I find quite counterintuitive at times. The reason for that lies in the fact that laws are public available, so theoretically any person could, and should know, all laws that would apply to the place where they live. However, we do know this is an exercise in fiction. Personally, I believe that mistake of law should be excused in Criminal Law provided that the infraction is counterintuitive (for example, the illegality of carrying an ice-cream in your back pocket in Alabama) - however, this is not what happens. In practical terms, we do have some degree of selectivity in law - and by selectivity, I mean "police officers having a huge degree of discretion in reporting a crime or not". Even though ignorance of the law is not excusable from a legal standpoint, at certain times police officers will handwave infractions and let certain agents go with a warning - while prosecuting similar cases based on personal convenience and judgements that are extraneous to the legal realm. I have written far too much and reckon I should summarise my points. A. For legal purposes, "ignorance" actually means "not knowing". It's not a judgement on whether the person made their due diligence or not. B. By law, people are required to know all laws applicable to the jurisdiction they are currently at. (A mistake of law might, in some jurisdictions, reduce your punishment, however.) C. I disagree with the system in B. For me, the more arcane / counterintuitive an infraction is, the more lenient we should be when analysing a mistake of law. D. In practical terms, police officers can be selective in the system detailed in B. For light infractions, they might decide to prosecute Person X but just warn Person Y, even when they have done the same acts, based on factors that are not based on legal reasons.

This cop is simply running under the “you may beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride” attitude. He knows he can bully people and it’s nothing more than an inconvenience for the driver unless they push it, then he’ll do what he wants under the assumption of qualified immunity!! Basically, he’s a tyrant. His wife probably runs the show at home and the only power he has over anything is when he slips on his uniform!!

At best, ignorant cops, and at worst, bad apple corrupt power-tripping police officers, both know they can rely on “qualified immunity” to get away not just with mistakes, but the precedent has now expanded to encompass reckless acts, and then knowingly wrongful acts, and even maliciously criminal acts violating people’s rights. Fix the police force! This “qualified immunity” was created by court precedent for a proper reason once upon a time, but it has morphed into an all-encompassing police immunity from prosecution qualified by NOTHING. It’s now unqualified police immunity. The legislature MUST fix this judicial precedent mess with legislative enactment.

Police give tickets they know won’t stand up. It’s either going to be a hassle to fight in court or you can just pay the fine. A tourist is likely to just pay the fine instead of returning to appear in court. This falls under, “You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.”

[@Dirk_the_Daring]

@Jean-Guy Rubberboot that works well until your home state or country gets the arrest warrant. Then you get thrown in jail repeatedly until you pay or show up. If you are from another country, you'd better REALLY enjoy your visit to the US because that will be your last one if you skip on the ticket. You will be arrested and the border and expelled. That's why cops love giving tickets to tourists. It is cheaper to pay the fines rather than make a second, third, fourth, and even more trips to fight the tickets. Nice extortion racket.

[@Dirk_the_Daring]

@Jean-Guy Rubberboot in the US all arrest warrants are in a national database available to police with a few keystrokes on their computers. If you have a warrant, they will arrest you and then the state that issued the warrant has 21 days to extradite you. Meanwhile, you sit in jail with no bail. If they don't come for you, you're released..........until the next time you're pulled over. Then it's back to jail for 21 days until they don't come for you again. Know too many people that got stuck on that merry-go-round.

I understood AtA's a litle unclear explanation as applying only to aftermarket exhausts. There is no way a Lambo stock exhaust could be illegal due to noise regulations if the car itself is at all allowed in a country. They are small-volume cars (and with big money involved) and as such typically exempt from laws that wouldn't allow them to be sold this way. (Soemtimes it is actually quite questionable what car manufacturers get away with in high-volume cars even. Keywords HID headlights or touchscreen controls.)

7:15 but the cop didn't cite him for noise pollution. He cited him for having a modified exhaust. So on that charge he can't be found guilty because he has the factory installed exhaust. And since he was never charged for noise pollution then they wouldn't have a reason to test the decibels of his exhaust.

[@corssecurity]

No, factory tint legal in one jurisdiction might be illegal in another jurisdiction. You as the visitor have the obligation to look up the local laws and abide by their laws. The exhaust may be legal in Canada but illegal in Cali.

[@ThePrufessa]

@@corssecurity fact 1: the ticket he was given was for having a modified exhaust. Fact 2: he does not have a modified exhaust he has the original factory installed exhaust. Therefore, the court can't find him guilty of having modified exhaust if his exhaust is not modified. The court can only make it's case against the actual charges. They can't modify the charges to fit the situation. I have no idea what varying window tint laws have to do with this. They wrote him a ticket for something he does not have and he can easily prove that to the court by having the court bring in a car expert to verify the exhaust on his car. And on a side note how does the officer even know his exhaust is modified just by driving down the road? More on that later. Furthermore, in regards to the decibels of the exhaust, he was never cited for creating noise pollution. So the court could never find him guilty of something he wasn't charged with. So again, your point about the window tint laws differing from state to state is completely irrelevant to anything I've said about this video. And finally, in regards to your very last sentence, the officer didn't charge him with having an illegal exhaust. They charged him with having a modified exhaust. Those are two completely different things and what you said is not based on the facts from within the video nor does it have anything to do with what I said about the facts from within the video. What the officer should have done was charged him with noise pollution if they thought his exhaust was too loud. Then from there the court can investigate the cause of the noise pollution. If he needs to bring his decibels down a few notches the court can give him time to remedy that since his car isn't from this country as you pointed out. But your entire comment makes absolutely no sense based on what was said in the video and what I said in my original comment. Learn how to comprehend law before entering yourself into a discussion about law.

[@ThePrufessa]

You don't have any critical thinking skills, although this doesn't even require much critical thinking. All you need to do is know how to think, but I digress. Back to my point, especially someone that didn't do anything to their exhaust and driving the car around exactly as it was when he bought it. Why would he have a reason to figure out California's exhaust laws? And finally this cop was wrong all the way around so what are you even talking about fool?

Qualified Immunity sucks since a reasonable mistake in this case could be towing a car based off an error in knowing the law. That officer should be paying damages if they make a mistake like that. And this is just about a car and interrupting a person’s life, not taking a life or seizing assets that get lost.

I think it is important as a a whole. The cops generally are supposed to represent the state(city, country, or whatever) rather than their own person. If you mess up in a normal job, you'll be fired, but it won't be you who gets sued, it will your employer(in most cases). If you work in a job for 20 years, you'll mess up sometimes, that is bound to happen. Cops can mess up, like any other person can.
