And don’t forget to shut the fuck up.

Love this lecture. It should be required viewing in high schools.

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 months ago

I generally avoid even watching a 30 second video link, but I'm not even an American and ended up watching all 45 minutes of this. That was a great talk - thanks for sharing it.

And don't look poor.

This is technically not a requirement, but by golly it sure does help.

It’s like a warning about wild animals at a campsite.

Never approach the wildlife or make it feel threatened. Do not make sudden movements. Doing so may provoke an attack. Never feed the police. It cannot tell the difference between fingers and french fries.

Or a fucking hairbrush and a gun

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago

Or himilayan pink salt and drugs

[-] archchan@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 months ago

Or an acorn and a gunshot

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

Or kitty litter an meth. Or a wallet and a gun (Diallo…and probably countless others)

[-] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Or school shooters and parents

[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

Kitty litter/meth, now I gotta see this one

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)
[-] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Aww fuck, looks like Silica litter. While was imagining the story to be about traditional cat litter, this is still pretty funny, and dumb on the cops' part.

It’s like a warning about wild animals at a campsite.

Sad that we all just accept that, like a wild animal, the folks whose job it is to protect us may instead harm or kill us at unexpected moments, and so we just try to avoid them while not doing anything about that behavior on their part.

When the police knock on your door DO NOT open the door. Speak through the door. If they have a warrant, they can already enter. If they don't have a warrant, they may use you stepping outside to detain you anyways, and it also gives them an opportunity to see into your house.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 30 points 6 months ago

I had a cop ding dong ditch and hide in my bushes, to then run up to me yelling stop once I stepped out of my house to ask me questions.

I still feel gross. I wouldn’t have answered the door, but they tricked me.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 28 points 6 months ago

This is genuinely absurd. But the mental image of a uniformed cop, giddily pressing your doorbell and running away like Ron Swanson to jump and hide in a bush is too fuckin good. And then the image of them jumping back out to say “STOP RIGHT THERE!” Is also good. Goddamn, that’s funny. Fucked up and dystopian. But funny to imagine.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 37 points 6 months ago

Fyi: This only applies to the USA

Where I live Police don't need to give you a paper with proof of a warrant, they still need a warrant but they don't have to prove it to you.

A lot of people here think they do though.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

AKA How to get shot by American police.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Be: not a cop. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[-] angelmountain@feddit.nl 32 points 6 months ago

Or move to a country that has a police force where officers are properly trained and monitored.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 44 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah sure let me just get all my paperwork to do so magically approved, and scrounge together a few years' worth of savings in order to move and afford to live while looking for a new job, and leave behind all my friends and family that I can't bring with me.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

Oh cool, didn't know that's an option, can you list a few?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 20 points 6 months ago

I.e. not Germany either

Bodycams are

  • not independently monitored
  • not always on
  • only on when they want it

einsdreieinszwei

[-] OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Good luck with finding that one

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 23 points 6 months ago

And reminder, don't call a cop unless you want someone to die.

[-] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Remember you are someone, even when you called the cops.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

FYI: "I want to speak to a lawyer" is not an unequivocal invocation of your rights. Be specific. "I am invoking my right to have a lawyer present" or something to that effect.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Need to have the right magical incantation

[-] skygirl@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

This didn't used to be the case until the Thompkins ruling amended the Miranda ruling in 2010.

Its unfortunate how difficult it is to stay aware of basic rights for lay persons with decisions like this throwing out old assumptions.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Step 4: get shot

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 months ago
[-] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago
[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Also, if you are ever pulled over and you are asked to get out of your car, you need to close the door behind you.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago
[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

If the doors are open its the same thing as cops seeing your front door open. They can and will use it as an excuse to go through your car.

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

There is a thing with liability when the insurance is concerned, in the case where you leave your keys ignition and/or leave your car doors unlocked with thieves about.

[-] Zacryon@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 months ago

How does this apply for the aforementioned case of being pulled over by police?

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I was just making a play with thieves and cops being alike in what they may do around your car. One would steal it, one would impound it, with some coke offering added.

FYI - don't try the search shit in the UK.

Stop and searches are not voluntary, and officers don’t need your permission to go through your belongings. You can’t refuse a stop and search by UK law. If you do, they can use force.
