Video: Invoking Your Rights at Police Checkpoints

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A majority of our society essentially walks around without knowing or actively exercising their rights. In fact, some do not even know what their rights are or why they are so important. Moreover, they would rather wave their freedoms afforded in this country at the first signs of a problem. One example of this is during a manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, police and federal agents spent the day storming people’s homes and performing illegal searches.

In the Constitution, the word “inalienable” means unable to be taken away from or given away by a possessor. That means these are natural rights are not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and therefore ours for life. Many of us know this, but still our rights as citizens of the United States are violated by the police. For instance, we all want to cooperate and accommodate police officers when they ask us questions. However, some of those questions are not meant to be friendly, but to gain knowledge on you. While you are cooperating with the police officer and putting forth all of this information about yourself, you are providing evidence against yourself that they can use if need be. Remember? Everything you say and do, can be used against you. In this case, it’s best to remain silent.

In Voices of Liberty, reporter Britt Hysen talks to Nina Hodjat, an attorney for DUI Partners. The two discuss how to speak to officers and exercise your rights respectfully at police checkpoints. Nina states that it is best to stay calm and be respectful when exercising your rights. She states that “human element factors come into play in situations such as this. If you are respectful to the police officers, the situation should not escalate. If you are being aggressive, chances are, they will respond to that and become aggressive back. Just stay calm.”

 Know Your Rights

Know that you can invoke your rights. This downloadable card lists your rights and can be used when talking with police officers. When you are going through checkpoints, always be respectful use these tips when exercising your rights:

  1. Stay calm. Don’t run. Don’t argue, resist or obstruct the police, even if you are innocent or police are violating your rights.
  2. Ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, calmly and silently walk away. If you are under arrest, you have a right to know why.
  3. You have the right to remain silent and cannot be punished for refusing to answer questions. If you wish to remain silent, tell the officer out loud. In some states, you must give your name if asked to identify yourself.
  4. You do not have to consent to a search of yourself or your belongings, but police may “pat down” your clothing if they suspect a weapon. You should not physically resist, but you have the right to refuse consent for any further search. If you do consent, it can affect you later in court.
  5. Be smart and know your rights.

      :idea: :arrow: Remember, do no harm to fellow freedom Lovers of any color. Remember that the 1% is trying to make this a race and color issue; which it is not! It is the 99% of all citizens against the 1%! Color has nothing to do with it, as we the people only want our criminal corrupt government illegal laws and bankers/corporations from ruling all of us. Do no harm or damage to your neighbors property, or persons! It needs to go to the treasonous corrupt offices in uniform protecting the DC criminals power over its people! If this clueless agressers going up against the will of the people are traitors to their oath, their country, and that that of all past veterans who lost their lives for our country.

      Since these criminals in uniform will do harm to you and your children, remember, they also have spouses and children that will left alone in their home. Imagine if the citizens of your community gets them to the front lines after peacefully explaining their fathers treasonous actions are acting as criminals. Do you think the fathers will harm their very own loved ones and finally put down their weapons?

      Do these forces really think they will be going home to their peaceful home after they do harm to their very neighbors? Imagine if they take the life of a fellow neighbor. Do they really thing that the community will allow them and their family to live in their home peacefully, after they harmed children? Don’t they understand that their family will be on the recieving end of whatever force they give to the fellow community? Do they really think they and their families will live a more peaceful life after they taken up arms against its very neighbors? How can their community be safer after they are the criminal gang doing harm to its comm;unity.

      The more criminal uniform officers you community can keep from the martial law scene will weaken the DC powers over the community. The feds gave military grade weapons to each city because these are the very forces that DC needs to keep their power over the people. If these police officers put their weapons down, that community will be free from the corrupt DC powers, and power will go back to its very people.

      Is their anything that these criminal gangs in police uniforms will not do for money? How will hilstory look at these WW2 SS officers that will surpress its very own citizens? They are the traitors to the US Consitution, and shown they love power more then their loved ones. By them leaving their families alone, the citizens can go into their homes and control and bring their loved ones to the front lines so these officers can put down their weapons; and at the same time, understand how the people feel with this criminal gang of uniformned officers.
