DUI Checkpoint Refusal, Out of control cops!

On 08/09/2014 in Los Angeles, I went through what looked like a construction zone, only to realize it was a checkpoint. I was not drinking or under the influence of anything else. -- more --
I did not initiate or premeditate this encounter. As you can see I started the video documentation AFTER I was already stopped. During and throughout this ordeal you will hear and see the cops making up the “rules” along the way. At first, it was a DUI checkpoint, then, it was a DUI/driver license checkpoint. (I'm curious how showing a license determines sobriety)
Throughout, I was cool, calm, lucid, and articulate, I chose to not answer questions. Note the female cop say I was required to have a California driver license (without even knowing that I don’t live in California) I was threatened multiple times, NOT with arrest but, damage to my vehicle. I asked numerous times if I was under arrest, of what crime I was being accused of and got no response to my direct questions.
After exiting the car on my own, you can see the abuse by the cop who had no reason to lock cuffs on me so tightly I got nerve damage to my left wrist and hand. Hear me ask and them say I was under arrest but not say for what charge. Note the cop belittling me when he says, “Make sure you notify the FAA when you’re convicted of a DUI” (This guy already had me CONVICTED of a DUI during this stop without due process, before a trial, before a conviction).
I spent the night in jail, released the next day with a ticket, being charged with two counts of “Refusing to Comply”, even though I actually did, one count of "Possession of Marijuana", and NO charges for not having plates on my car, or DUI! -- All charges were eventually DISMISSED!
These are bullshit checkpoints, and they know it! Don't fold under their threats!
Since this ordeal I have re-educated myself and I strongly recommend following Marc Stevens here on KZbin and learning the Socratic Method to effectively defend against these attacks.
It basically works like this... It's always the state's (any government or agent) CLAIM that their constitution and laws/codes/rules apply you, for no other reason than they saw you in their "area". However, when you ask them for EVIDENCE to support that claim they have none. Just saying, "That's the law" isn't proof that it applies to you. Using "case law" to back their claim is nothing more than an OPINION (it say it right at the top of a case law document), and opinions aren't factual. They really don't have anything other then their willingness to hurt you to "prove" their jurisdiction. This criminal/gang mentality and behavior will no longer go unchecked.

My female friend was stoped by a known DUI expert. Expert means he writes every stopped driver a DUI. She was wearing a 268.99 woman's business suit. Because she refused to get out and lay down face first in the dirt, she was dragged out tearing the suit in 4 places, brutalized, arrested and blood test drawn. 12 hours later a local judge ordered a monitoring ankle band at my friends expense over $150.00 a day till the blood test would be done in 45 days. Because she refused at that time too plead guilty to DUI. Note my friend was not convicted of anything at this point. I took her strait back to that judge forced that court to remove that cuff and I filed a complaint of practicing law from the bench. The judge was suspended for 6 whole months for abusing powers to generate income for county funds. My friend by the way passed the blood test. It is this very same abuse of authority that leads to laws, ordinances which in reality are based on the police and courts abusing there authority for practicing law from the bench for profits. That judge, that so called expert, are still railroading innocent people into dui convictions by use of the ankle band threat. Stay away from Missoula Montana to save yourself from corrupt courts and law officers bent on turning citizens into, profits.

How, just absolutely HOW can a cop be that dumb and be allowed to carry a gun?

[@lavakissy]

A cop can ask you to incriminate yourself, it is your own responsibility to plead the fifth. But the cops are actually right. They were enforcing the laws of the United States as well as the state of California. A DUI stop is legal as long as it is not discriminatory (stops based on race, gender, etc...) and you have to provide a valid drivers license and identification and other documents relating to the vehicle in a traffic stop failure to comply is illegal and you can be charged for it. You can of course refuse but then you must accept that they will break that fucking window and drag you out. That is the price of living in a society

O: Do they serve alcohol there. Citizen: Yes, I think so. (you have now confirmed you were at an establishment that served alcohol) O: Did you consume alcohol at this restaurant? C: No. O: well I smell alcohol on you. Or if C says I had one beer. Then you have now admitted consuming alcohol then driving. Officer: Sure it was just one?

@david-s4w4h Not at all? Either you're not American and you don't understand our laws, or you are and you're not really educated on exactly when an officer can and cannot ask for your ID. In America we have this thing called the Fourth Amendment. It states that we're secure in our personal effects and papers, which includes ID. The Supreme Court, our highest Court and the one that determines whether any action or law taken or enforced by the government is illegal, has ruled that DUI checkpoints cannot ask for ID as it would be a violation of the 4th amendment. This is because you can't preemptively violate someone's rights in order to fish for a potential crime. You have to have RAS, Reasonable Articulable Suspicion, before you can actually take that final step of violating that right. Of course, some officers view your refusal to let them violate your rights as RAS, but that is inherently incorrect. TL;DR - Nuh uh, cuz Constitutional protections and Supreme Court

@@david-s4w4h Ah, this is a classic case of misidentifying exactly WHAT causes an officer to be able to ask for your ID. Yes, you are correct that you cannot resist getting out of your car upon request. That is, unfortunately, something the Supreme Court does not recognize as a violation of your 4th amendment rights. However, when providing your ID to a police officer while in a vehicle they can only ask that if they have RAS, or probable cause, that you've committed either a crime or a ticketable offense. A police officer CAN demand that I provide my DL if I'm pulled over for speeding, reckless driving, suspected DUI, or any number of other specific traffic infractions. A police officer CANNOT pull me over to prove that I have a driver's license in the vehicle, or to see if it's valid.

I've found that carrying a canister of fart spray is a hell of a cop deterrent.

When I do roll it down I'm greeted with "Holy shit" gagging, coughing, and spitting. All three times the cops have backed away from my car saying, "I got you on radar speeding, just slow down a little for me, okay? you're free to go.

When I looked it up, it seems to me the gentleman in this video behaved perfectly correctly and was under no obligation to comply with any of the "orders" the police gave. (The below is from a lawyer's website) 2814.2. California Vehicle Code 2814.2 VC requires you to stop your vehicle at any DUI checkpoint which is being conducted by the police; and has posted signs and displays informing motorists to stop. Once you have stopped, you also have to submit to a DUI inspection. This typically involves rolling down your window and answering the police’s questions, such as “Have you been drinking?” and “Can I see your license?” If you appear sober, the police will permit you to continue driving. Though if the police smell alcohol or marijuana or believe that you are impaired, you may be asked to exit the vehicle to perform field sobriety tests. These include: the horizontal gaze nystagmus eye test the walk and turn test the one-legged stand test You may also be asked to submit to a preliminary alcohol screening (PAS). *Note that all these tests are optional.* If the police decide to arrest you for driving under the influence, your car may be impounded.

@G T Interesting so a political ideology is determined by an opinion about the constitution? lol. "They are out there trying to keep drunks from killing us ," stopping every single car with no RS of any crime sir I don't care what you claim its for it is not legal under the law. The supreme court errored which is possible you realize? when they found it ok to stop people doing nothing wrong for the reason of checking their id and level of sobriety. The Constitution was not meant to be changed except by ways laid out in its own document. The court by admitting it was not within the rights of the Constitution to hold checkpoints, directly violated the very document they are tasked with upholding and among other things they committed treason in my opinion. The document was not made to be vague or out of date as the years go by. It is clear and direct in its rules and rights given. No govt person no matter what the excuse no matter what the excuse, NO MATTER WHAT THE EXCUSE, has the right to stop any person for the reason of checking anything at any time. This is not confusing the court admitted in its ruling it was in fact a violation of the 4th amendment, yet made some excuse as to why they felt they were able to rule against the direct statement against them in the Bill of Rights. FREE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHOICES ABOUT WHAT THEY DO. FREE PEOPLE WILL MAKE BAD CHOICES IT IS INHERENT IN THE WORDS. BY CLAIMING THE GOVT HAS THE RIGHT TO CHECK AND SEE IF EVERYONE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE BEFORE GETTING INTO A VEHICLE. This will in fact cause some who are not checked and made a bad choice, get hurt and hurt others. This is the chance we all take by demanding to be free. If you do not approve of the risk posed by freedom then I suggest you move to a country where they can keep you safe your entire life because they check you every day and at all times that you are making the right choices. We choose to be free and understand it comes with risks and we may be hurt or even killed by others who are not responsible in their actions. Its a small price to pay for freedom.

For the people unclear on the law: It’s a dui checkpoint. This means the purpose of the stop is to check for drunk drivers - NOT valid license or any other matter. That does not negate the possibility to incur other charges based on discovered facts during the stop but it does not authorize creating facts. In other words they cannot force you to comply with any order they make. A lawful order must have a judges signature if it is not to directly deal with a crime in progress or about to progress or has just happened. Without any reasonable facts to suggest a crime there is no cause for any lawful order. Therefor the order is not lawful.

Checkpoints are unlawful as they violate human rights and therefore have no authority aka NOT lawful orders Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9 "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile." Article 12 "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks." Article 13 (1) "Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state." Just more tyrant bu;llying psychos assurting assumed authority they dont have. Every cop involved in this disgraceful, unlawful action needs to be sacked. And when you've paid so much to be on the roads and passed your test, then driving IS a right, not a privilege.

A better response would have been, "Could I please have an attorney present before you ask me any questions." Once you invoke your right to counsel upon interrogation, the police need to back off from asking you further questions. If they do not, any admissions or evidence gathered from that point are inadmissible in a court of law. If you simply state that you do not want to answer any questions they can keep pestering you until the cows come home.

[@jeff1967ist]

[@HUBABUBA-il8fn]

Charges get dismissed for a myriad of reasons MOST of which have nothing to do with the validity of the stop or the probable cause to arrest. The standard of proof to convict in Court is much higher than the standard of proof required to make a valid arrest so just saying that the charges being dismissed does not tell us what the rational of the Court was.

[@HUBABUBA-il8fn]

@@realsecman There was no violation of the Constitution or law. DUI/License Check points have been ruled CONSTITUTIONAL by the US Supreme Court, they further have ruled that the Police can order you out of your vehicle. Failure to produce a license or comply with lawful orders then becomes an arrestable offense. the Police are the ones understanding the Constitution and the law, not the you tube idiot operating the vehicle.

[@HUBABUBA-il8fn]

@@realsecman The Courts, Appellate and Supreme have generally said that The people have a reduced expectation in Public. The Standard of proof required for an Arrest, with or without a warrant, or a search, with or without a warrant, is Probable Cause, PC. PC is considered when an Officer has enough basically to accuse a specific person of a violation of law and either make an arrest or in some instances a search. PC is not proof positive but basically more likely than not that an offense may have been committed and said person may have committed it. PC is basically 51 percent, not proof positive, (beyond a reasonable doubt) which is the Standard for conviction of said offense. So for PC a police officer doesn't have to be right only reasonable. To stop a person on the street,(temporary detainment), an Officer needs reasonable SUSPICION , RS, that criminal behavior may have or is about to happen. To stop a vehicle the Officer needs RS of the violation of any law, criminal or traffic, or ordinance, RS is a standard of proof that is even less than 50 pct only that the Officer , based on his subjective opinion, reasonably believes based on a totality of the circumstances, that the offender committed, is committing or is about to commit (a crime if on foot) or (any offense if operating a vehicle). Now most will agree as the law and the courts have said that if you operate a vehicle you need a license issued by a State and if you are lawfully stopped you shall produce said license. Now to the DUI/License check points, (CP)). The Supreme Court in 1990 has said that the very minor intrusion of a CP although not supported by any standard of proof, is reasonable because getting drunk drivers off our roads far out weighs the minor stop. Generally the Police will ask a few questions and may also have you produce your license. You may legally assert to remain silent by STATING SAME, not just sitting there however refusing to show your license is NOT remaining silent but now gives the Officer PC to arrest for either unlicensed, failure to produce and in most States an obstruction type charge.

[@HUBABUBA-il8fn]

Charges are dismissed for many reasons and most have NOTHING TO DO with the validity of an arrest. He says they were dismissed but doesn't say why. That is the prosecutors discretion not the Officers. Arrest requires only PROBABLE CAUSE, Conviction requires PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
