LAWYER: 5 Tips To Stop Cops When They Come Knocking!

[@RunOs3]

I work a third shift, so on my days off, I jog in my neighborhood at around midnight or so. A few days ago, I had cops come to my door and ask me why I was out jogging at 2am. They said it was uncommon and suspicious for someone to be jogging at such an odd time and that I kind of looked like a suspect that was breaking into cars. They asked me to come outside because they just wanted to talk to me. I told them to please leave and they kept on asking why I was refusing to cooperate with them and that I was acting guilty and like someone who was hiding something. They lied and said several people had identified me as the one breaking into cars and if I just came outside and talked to them, we could clear this up. I can only imagine what would have happened if I had gone outside and tried to plead my case right there on my porch.

[@ClarityDetermination]

Unfortunately all of us can imagine what would have happened if you had stepped outside. In that case, police are a threat to your livelihood and possibly a threat to your physical being.

And if they didn't come back with a warrant, they knew their fake suspicions were not to convince a judge.

[@KlausBarbi-qe6ix]

They would have found a reason to arrest you

[@rightsideupvt]

My lawyer said, if they had enough evidence to arrest or charge you, they'd do it. Talking to them only gives them a chance to gather evidence against you.

[@soyounoat2814]

rightsideupvt: That is exactly right and what everyone should remember. If they are not arresting you with a warrant, they are attempting to build a case against you. They will twist your words to suit their desire to charge you with a crime even if you are innocent. Not all cops are psychopaths, but many of them are.

[@MargueriteFairProductions]

Or to plant evidence!

[@Notwoke7]

We've all seen shows where they lied and arrested a person. Sometimes when they're calling in the details they fudge those, too, so they get permission to arrest when that wasn't even the truth.

Amen. Best not to answer or engage unless you called them. I would not recommend calling police if you can handle it yourself. Police are often zero help and are not there to protect you, they are there to uphold law. They will tell you this themselves. If you do call them it's a great to have a slightly concealed security camera with audio. 😉

A couple of years ago some guy lost control of his pickup truck and drove through my backyard, and into the river behind my house. Someone else (not me) called the cops. While they were milling around on my property, one of them demanded my ID and birth date. I refused, and told him I was on my own property, and that I didn't summon them in the first place. He got highly indignant, and said I HAD to give him my information. I told him to get off of my property, and went back inside my home. Whereupon he knocked on my door and demanded I come outside. I ignored him, and he eventually left. I'm sure that police department now has a nice little file on me.

I think we just need the qualification for 'qualified immunity' to be more than showing up at work that day. Violations that cross certain lines should 100% be prosecuted as criminal acts and then a touch more. The police should understand those lines as part of their job, and if they step into criminal behavior are essentially 'not acting as police officers' in that time and not eligible for any immunity. They also should not be shielded from civil liability if they cross those lines. We shouldn't need a video like this at all.

I’m a paramedic, and cops on scene can be extremely helpful.

I had two cops knock on my door late one night just after I got back from my class. I think they must have seen me come in from the car park. They asked if they could come in. I didn't have anything to hide so I let them in. They spent nearly two hours hanging about in my sittingroom asking random questions. It was all very mystifying. I was very tired, just wanted to go to bed. I offered them tea or coffee or herb tea if they preferred, about 3 times. After some time one of them saw I had 3 rolls of aluminium foil & accused me of having it for the purposes of cooking up drugs. I assured the officers that I have never been a drug user but sometimes use aluminium foil to make models. They asked me if I had any to show them, which I did not, having fairly recently moved to that location. I offered to demonstrate making one but they were not interested. When it was past one in the morning I just wanted then to leave. I was tired of being polite, which is how I was brought up to treat police officers. I was on the point of asking them if I could now go to bed. I didn't mind if they wanted to stay sitting there. But maybe they sensed that they had spun this pointless conversation out as long as they could & decided to leave. As they left the male officer said that he believed me about the drugs. "You arn't bright enough for that", he said. As they exited I heard the female officer protest at his rudeness. Later I had two officers turn up fairly early one Sunday morning. They knocked on my back door, I glimpsed one of them from my bed but they didn't look in my direction. I decided not to get out of bed unless I had to. They promptly left. I heard one of them tell someone over the road, "Well theres no-one there now." All I can think is that the resident had seen me looking out the window, using binoculars to watch the birds on my little tree & assumed I was spying on her. So if the police call now I know what to do. And we are supposed to believe the police are terribly busy?!!!

She stood them off ALLL night 😂, it was around 3am when they finally left, looking like the losing Superbowl team walking off the field. The guy they were looking for was never there, never even knew my neighbor. It was bad here-say info. She had 2 small children and a sweet old pitbull rescue dog, I dont blame her one bit.

And the all night (actually only til 3AM?) terror fest for her 2 small children and rescue dog could've been avoided by just letting them go in to make sure the fugitive wasn't there. This sounds like a fantasy "what if" scenario, not something that actually happened (although I'm sure there are plenty of paranoid people with things to hide, including fugitives, who actually do make their children suffer through a standoff rather than letting law enforcement do their job). If you really think all police are bad, you need help. Are you sure you're not confusing a video game you were playing with an actual real-life situation? If there's a reasonable belief that a fugitive is hiding in someone's home, pretending that homeowner is a hero by not giving in to the 'battalion of state cops' who want to find him is a bit naive.

[@tirregrelleumekuk3635]

Under the "Trespass Act" in Ontario, you can notify (written or verbal) anyone or any organisation that they are prohibited from entering your property, BEFORE they ever even have a chance to enter. If they disregard that "prior notice", you yourself can arrest them or call police. Giving prior notice removes any "Implied" licence to enter and they are criminally trespassing as soon as their foot crosses the line, even if you are not there to tell them to leave. This law applies to anyone including police. My local (Peterborough OPP) police service have targeted, harassed, assaulted (Illegal arrests) and used the "Implied" licence to enter my family's properties many times years ago to carry on with this conduct. I served them "Prior Notice" under the "Trespass to Property Act" and now they are prohibited from entering and I made it clear I will arrest them. Their harassment ended and the false charges have also.

I then asked him if he was prepared to lie on the affidavit in support of the warrant. They all got puzzled looks on their faces. He asked what I meant by that. I replied, "You showed up at my door asking for someone who has never lived here and coincidentally is currently under indictment for molesting my daughter. He was arrested by your agency.

[@michellepopkov940]

Prior to my moving into my house, the owner had flipped the house and made it look great before I bought it. However, his previous tenant had conducted nefarious activities for which several times SWAT teams had been dispatched and legally searched the premises and affected arrests. Now there I am-elderly and greyhaired. I had a knock and talk attempt. They claimed they had an alarm warning and were checking if my system had sent an alarm signal. Well I was sure it was turned off. But they did see my ADT sign so maybe that was their premise. A total of six cops looking at me. I told them that I knew of two other houses in the street with ADT and one guy took long trips. I didn’t think much of this after they left. But after seeing this video I am no longer so sure.

[@adambirman2379]

Six cops for an ADT alarm is not good. Usually a phone call can take care of that. They were definitely fishing and trying to violate you.

[@Fstop5.6]

A friend wanted to put up a 8ft wall in front of his house some year ago, the city originally denied the permit on the ground that the police wouldn’t be able to see the front door.

[@sowi-reeikuddye5732]

Where I live, you can't have a privacy fence past the front of your house on the grounds that impedes the neighbor's view down the street. But I think an 8 ft chain-link fence is allowed. Personally, I see privacy fences as convenient concealment for anyone wanting to break into your house.

She walks to the kitchen grab the water to dispose in the sinks and..... Cop killed her with a shot to the head. Reason: he though she was going to throw the hot water on him.

This sort of information involving a citizen's legal rights should be taught in every school in the nation, and I'm not just talking about classes on government or history that teach about the constitution and the Declaration of Independence and so forth. What is needed is real, practical information and education on exactly the sort of things you're presenting in your videos. You're providing a valuable service; thank you sir, and well done!

[@rjack58]

The Constitution should be taught but with 'Case Studies' that show how the Constitution is implemented for various reasons, particularly reasons that are beneficial to citizens. Currently when the Constitution it taught it's just a read thru of all of the statutes, rules, amendments and so on. Case Studies will help we the people.

If you don't teach legal rights, Government can do whatever they want because people don't know better. It's in their best interests to keep the people ignorant.

[@JugglesGrenades]

My wife and I had a horse for sale. It was underweight when we got him, so we were giving extra grain to get him back where he should be. Two women came and looked at him and offered WAY less than what he was worth. We held firm on the price. They (unknown to us) make a report to animal control. We get back home, and find out they have gone through two closed,but unlocked gates... walked down to the barn, taken pictures, and GOD knows what else. We come home and there's a yellow piece of paper with the officer's number for us to call. Luckily, everything was good. They saw empty feed sacks, and barrels three quarters full. Plenty of hay, horses (we were rehabilitating two) had water, hay in the racks and fans running to keep them cool. But we really felt violated, that they came on our land, went through two closed gates, and just made themselves at home.

[@guycoburn1633]

Here's an additional topic: What if you are a tenant in an apartment complex, or an owner in a condominium complex? Of course, you can refuse to open the door, but can you ask them to leave the property? Since the exterior of property is common, how much can the police look around? Can the police hang out at your front door since it is common area? Can they look in your windows? How does the principle of "curtilage" apply to an apartment or condominium where there are multiple units together? What if they get permission from a neighbor to watch your apartment?

[@hamptonlawfirm]

Great topic idea! Thank you!

[@Sir_Scrumpalicious]

Yes! Was thinking along the same lines. Would be great to know how a lot of this stuff applies / differs to people who live in an apartment.

[@TonyGarrett-p1c]

In my lay opinion I believe they can look in your windows, even in an upstairs apartment. And any 'contraband' they see would be considered to be in "plain view" and they could get a search warrant. That's if they don't just kick in your door right away to seize the "evidence", as an "exigent circumstance".

[@guycoburn1633]

@@TonyGarrett-p1c If you have a house, then the immediate area around the house is "curtilage" and looking in windows may be considered an illegal search, especially if the windows are not easily viewed from the front door. For example, the cops cannot go around to your side yard or back yard to look in windows, and use that view to establish "probable cause" for an arrest. The evidence they found by looking in a back window would likely be excluded by the Court. The "plain view" doctrine has limits based upon reasonableness. That's why I asked the question; I'm curious how far the "curtilage" principle applies to multi-family housing buildings. There are likely some cases on the topic.
