Update yippee!

[@ragnardanneskjold7259]

What do you think of Eddie Craig? He's former Texas Sheriff who teaches people how to protect their rights during traffic stops. He's got a number of youtube videos, has been on InfoWars, etc. Cheers. Oh, did you see the Sadiq Khan balloon in London?😂

I am not aware of Eddie Craig's or his videos's. Thankfully traffic stop in "UK" are rare as there simply are few patrol officers. Also our cops have no guns and are purely armed with polite conversation coupled with subtle hints of profiteering for agents of the government. Thankfully drink driving is pretty rare now. I didn't see the crowdfunded balloon that Sadiq Khan allowed to be flown for the presidents visit. It wasn't a very respectful act any way you look at it.

Common Opinion I was referring to the balloon of Sadiq a group in London flew as a counter to the one flown of Trump. I agree it was disrespectful, as did most people, which is why it boosted Trump's support. Trump loves chaos, and makes it work for him. Heh. Apparently police can still do quite a bit armed with just polite conservation. Just ask Tommy Robinson. Craig delves into the transportation act, common-law, and fundamental human rights, so I thought you might be familiar with him. He has put together a script for people to use at traffic stops, which as far as I can tell, is effective for those who follow it. A lot of the stuff he talks about seems applicable to any common-law land. No worries.

"tommy robinson" has made the fatal mistake of thinking that lawyers are his friend and that money + lawyers = good justice. Its not a worry now though as he has safely put himself away until he learns his lesson. Transportation is Latin sounding and probably Roman Law, something the legal society love. Humans are defined by the legal society, im only concerned with people and mankind. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on6rZ6l_Z6qDr6M There are many cops who leave the force and try to do "good", usually they are corrupted with legal procedures that make it hard for them to un-brainwash themselves. Cops just protect from breaches of the peace. thats it. The legislation then adds on other duties in order for them to maintain their office. Unlawful orders should be rejected however but most cops will never put you before their job security. They will pull you out of a burning vehicle if they get paid, they wont if (somehow) it costs them their job. The legal society choose cops for certain personality traits with psychometric testing. Cops have to be gun-ho but also believe they are on the wide of right. Its how good men are led astray.

Common Opinion Apparently, Tommy's lawyers are appealing everything: his sentence, his conviction, and his earlier conviction. The original judge slated to hear Tommy's appeal was replaced-I'm guessing it had something to do with his prejudicial remarks about Tommy in a recent BBC interview. At the very least it looks like Tommy will be released for time served, though I agree that if he had a better understanding of his rights this whole mess could've been avoided. As it stands the Judge who found him in contempt brought far more publicity and scrutiny to the trial than Tommy's stupid selfie video ever could have. Actually Craig is a former Deputy Sheriff and was an airforce pilot before that, and seems a lot sharper than the average meathead donning a police uniform these days. A recent show of his goes into precisely what you mentioned about how cops actually have no authority under the law to conduct traffic stops of those not engaged in commerce. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZqoqpqli7Ktl5I I'm not his press agent or anything, just don't prejudge. I take your point about "human" right, that was my blunder. I don't think Craig uses that language either (just started watching him). I'm not from Texas either, but I find it helpful to get multiple perspectives. Thanks for the link. Cheers.
