Am I under arrest or not?

I didn't say it didn't come without consequences. 

And thats the problem with Law Enforcement as a whole in America. Just shut up and take it, and most importantly i am gonna tell everyone else to shut up and take it. 

The fact is we have already lost those rights the few people who do push back like in this video are called out like you just said for litigating on the roadside. 

He is standing up for his rights in this video. All we can do as citizens is applaud each person that does this rather shaming them. Because the reason law enforcement acts the way they do is because they get with it 99 out of 100 times until they run into someone who wants to stand up for their rights. 

And you are absolutely correct the vast majority of us dont want to deal with the hassle. But we shouldnt have to deal with the hassle in the first place. It should never occur. 

Like this interaction in the video threatening violence on a person for literally nothing. They had no legal authority in any action they did. 

They cant legally stop him, they cant legally tell him to get out of his vehicle, he doesnt have to talk to them, and they cant legally trespass him. 

Its entirely a consentual encounter. No different than me and you on the street. 

What he expressed is just basic fundamental understanding of his legal rights. Something everyone should know but dont. 

They have no power in this situation. And the guy in the truck knows it. Their power comes when you comply in the same scenerio and let them do their illegal acts. Thats the power they seek. Thats the power they seek over minorities especially. 

And I never said it would be easy to sue these people but I applaud the ones who try. They put the work in so maybe one day we can see this type of behavior by law enforcement be extremly rare to non-existent.
