FSB Encounter In American Car Dealer In Russia

[@ethanstevenson7160]

No matter where you go people are people with the capacity for good and evil. I have been treated as less than human in Russia and as family by strangers, but I have also had both experiences in America. There is something to the idea that when a society rejects norms of human sanctity and decency, there is a rot which spreads like a plague. But each person in that society, whether they realize it or not, has a choice. This is what we face in America today, will we be a country with just balls or one with heart as well?

[@Ramblequist]

In USA, video inside a car dealer is not Constitutionally protected. It's private property.

[@aerohk]

In USA, yes. I'm suspecting it's different in Russia?

[@djsatane]

he meant he was allowed in there it was publically accessible part of dealership. As for recording, private business has right to ask you out if they don't like it.

[@aerohk]

@@djsatane If in US, the business can call the cop for sure for his refusal to stop filming or leaving the business. But maybe in Russia, the constitution allows filming, and it becomes the business owner's fault.

[@djsatane]

@aerohk no, in Russia they can kick you out same way, problem in Russia is cops can literally do whatever they want or feel like it in regards

[@Redmanticore]

in some countries, it's interpreted as public space if you have a door that is open to the public for customers. in Finland, photography is allowed in private shops, but the owner always has the right to choose his customers. therefore, the photographer may be asked to leave. but he can't ask you to delete whatever you filmed, or ask to see it, and it's lawful to film, and he can't ask you to stop filming, just throw you out. and you don't have to tell the police what you filmed, show the police what you filmed, and you don't have to delete it even if the police ask you to delete it. police officers may be photographed in a public place. they just sometimes here get agitated about it and make illegal orders, like telling you to stop filming, and then they get fines in court to pay you. - while so, there are added restrictions here, if you film _other_ people _in the middle of a moment with police or medics,_ then you may be violating their privacy if you film _and_ publicize it and dont have their explicit permission to publicize it. if you don't publicize it, then filming is fine, you are not violating their privacy. while so, a police officer is in a public place in a public office, and filming is restricted only in exceptional circumstances. sometimes cops make mistakes over what is "exceptional circumstance" and what is not. sometimes its " ...which must be assessed separately from the dissemination of the resulting material", like when some outsiders films you when you blow into police alcohol meter and it shows you are drunk. if he publicizes that without your permission, that can be invading privacy, even if on public setting. but that is only _if_ he publicizes it. filming is still allowed. police does not have direct power to prohibit filming in that situation. therefore it depends if he is streaming it live, or not, if the filming is a crime, or not. and filming/voice recording the things that involve yourself with an official is always legal, and you can publicize when it involves yourself, then it has your permission, and you can violate your own privacy as much as you want.

That's not the most powerful Cadillac I don't believe. 110k gets you a nicely equipped Escalade but the one w/ 660 hp is more,like 145k.

[@popcorn8153]

The average Russian monthly income is between 300 and 600 dollars. So while its still a lot in the US, you can see how crazy it would be to the average Russian.

[@MrDEWaters]

I looked this up. The starting price for a 2024 Cadillac Escalade in the USA is about 82 thousand US dollars. Probably they don't sell many at that price because they are not fully-equipped. There are plenty of businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and other highly-paid people here who can afford that. As a retired teacher, I can only pay about 35 thousand for a car at the very most.

[@eastbaystreet1242]

[@lornewazny7152]

The Lincoln Navigator is more than twice the cost of ordering one here in the US. The top of the line Lincoln SUV can be had for $74,000. A 2024 Dodge pickup base price here is $44,000 to $54,000 and you can pick out your options, color, etc. Dealers here are having to offer discounts ($7500) to move the pickups, so they are fairly cheap and available. I do love the look and power of the Dodge Ram cars, really sporty. There is a lot of disruption in the car markets as people ride the fence on whether to move into the Electric Vehicle era. Personally, I like the idea of an electric vehicle due to better torque but am waiting for the Solid State Batteries to come on line, providing much greater range and quicker charging.

[@Mike-mm4mx]

Technically, you are not in a public space inside the dealership. In the UK, where I live, filming inside a shop without permission can be problematic, as store owners have the right to protect their customers' privacy, safeguard their private property. Unauthorized filming could lead to legal problems. In Russia now, I can imagine people being very sensitive about being seen buying expensive foreign cars.

[@drYouTuber315]

It seems to be different in Russia. But I guess the manager can kick you out anytime as in every other country

[@pauliewalnuts240]

It depends on russian land ownership laws. He does use this excuse often and it seems to work lol. In china for example, you don't actually own property, it's rented for a certain term of years. Maybe all land in russia is owned by the government in a similar way. Public space could also apply to anywhere the public is able to go, like in a store. I dont kno. In the US, public space is like the street, sidewalk, a park, basically outside. So UK and US laws sound similar.

[@bambinaforever1402]

I was wondering before how did they let him film everywhere else. We will go to a BMW centre in France, there is something they sent a message they need to do for all bmw, some programme or whatever, for free, so while waiting i will try to film inside the bmw dealership i wonder whether they will say anything. I bet they will

[@davidhartwell4826]

As Ivan has previously explained the Russian Constitution allows anyone to film anywhere that the public has access. Permission is not required. This includes shopping malls, shops, restaurants and car dealers showrooms. Ivan is well known for exercising this right. It is a freedom they have in Russia that is not available in most other parts of the world. Long may it continue.

[@markanderson3740]

@@davidhartwell4826 Less of a freedom and more of an easy excuse for intrusive government surveillance. Russians expect to be filmed and face scanned every second they are in public, certainly in the cities. If you are filming and witness any corruption or abuse your life is at risk, and since Siberia always has room for another warm body, why would they care what accidents happen to you. At the heart of it, that is the difference. Our governments in the west, whatever their flaws, don't keep the population living in fear.

Wow great video. This car visit was the best. At first I was sad that a place selling American cars gave you the hardest time of all, but then, it actually sounds like it was in honor of some Russian Govt thief wanting a nice cool American car. As an American, I will take that as a compliment. About the EV Hummer. I can't believe you got one there. I haven't seen one in person yet and I actually have an EV (2023 Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition). Nice find. If you ever visit Charlotte, NC, let me know and I will let you test drive my other three cars too, a 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, 2015 BMW M4, and classic 1981 Jeep CJ5 (fully restored).

A loaded 2024 Escalade is about $105,000 here in the US. They do depreciate fairly quickly. You can pick up a nice, clean, used, low mileage, 2020 Escalade for $50,000.

Just think about this. That Lincoln is 170,000. Here in Boston I can buy an Audi RS-Q8 for just about 120,000. Let that sink in. I remember when I was living in Vietnam, and because of the import tax on those luxury foreign cars at the time was I believe somewhere between 100%-200% the S63 that my friend had was more than double the price and then some. So instead of 160-180k it was more like 375k. Bonkers.

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I really am blown away by the courage that you and your beautiful partner show in the face of utter insanity. That said, we need to get you to America where you will at least be a hell of a lot safer. Thank you so much for putting these videos out, it's so important that your voice is heard and also that people all over the world can see what daily life is really like in Putin's Russia.

Much love to you both from Pittsburgh, PA.. ❤️

You are a legend my brother!

Hard to talk about prices, when we don't know the exact version of that Escalade, Ivan. In Munich/Ger you need 160k € plus taxes = 200k for the all inclusive 501 kW model.

Oligarchs can afford that stuff…are you an oligarch Ivan ?

[@Slavic_Fury]

With the way things are going in Russia, his car will be worth a million dollars by next year.

[@bambinaforever1402]

Oligarchs drive Bentleys and rolls royses and maybe Maybachs . Not american cars for sure

Hello Ivan, I came across your video's a few days ago and I have to say I'm pretty amazed at what you're doing. My interests in cars is what probably brought me to your channel. But the inside Russia is also very interesting; its been on my bucket list to travel to Russia and meet the people learn about the culture for many years. Thank you for that and please stay safe.

[@Fastlanedann]

Ivan, great job for standing up for yourself!. Please stay out of any high-rise buildings especially if you are near the window, I hear in Russia, that some people ACCIDENTALLY fall out of six-story windows. Your face is now very recognizable in Russia,, and. so, driving in RUSSIA may be hazardous to your health you may end up with a bad accident - Courtesy of FSB. Stay safe

[@johnyossarian5556]

Be careful Ivan, FSB has no sense of humor.

He ran the tags it's an FSB Agent buying a $125k American Automobile. FSB agents have tons of opportunities to grab people's cash when they are "Busting" some guy that said something critical of the Russian Gov't. Corruption of the highest order.

[@richsackett3423]

As far as what kind of videos you should be doing: These. Being the Russian car guy is your groove, as one car guy to another. Your confidence and command of the subject is what makes these dealership walk-arounds so compelling. Your love for cars and automotive culture comes across so genuine and appealing. It's irresistible and has an early days Doug DeMuro energy. Worked out ok for him.

[@peles73]

Honestly these cars aren't for cultured people. These are for the new upper class with plenty amount of money but no good taste. Anyway, respect for your work and courage.
