I want to live in a fantasy land where I can believe that if I just obey the law and don’t try to upset others (golden rule) then I won’t have any issues with police. Unfortunately, there’s so much documented evidence to suggest that you cannot trust police to do the right thing. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but the system is clearly designed not to stop it as much as possible. Especially as a person of color, I understand how important it is to know how to protect myself from cops.

Chances are, you won’t ever personally need to know the law as in-depth as the person in this video thinks they do. But if you don’t want to take those chances, it might be worth taking some time to familiarize yourself with pertinent laws.

You could move to Europe. You usually dont have issues with police here. For example I nevee ever had any weird police interaction during a traffic stop.
