At
some point in the last couple of decades there was a shift in how the
justice system deals with average citizens. No longer is there a
presumption of innocence on the part of police or prosecutors.
In the eyes
of the government, we're all guilty of something, a position that has
left countless Americans imprisoned or dead for no other reason than the
arresting officer or government attorney wanting to stroke their ego or
increase their conviction rate.
When the government is allowed into our homes,
our cars,
our phone conversations or our pockets without cause, we are no longer
the America of our forefathers. Rather, we begin to reflect the
principles
of tyrants like Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler or Mao Zedong who
deliberately ravaged their countrymen and left their nations devoid of
common sense, humanity and the rule of natural law.
Many of us are struggling to find a way to resist the overt tyranny being imposed across our once free nation.
There's a way, but we must fight this battle on our streets, one individual at a time.
When they come to question us, or come to search our
personal effects,
or ask us to voluntarily detain ourselves, it's time we push back and
exercise the rights our founders fought so hard to protect.
This is how we resist.
"The motto of our modern police state is, 'if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.'
"We
must respond by staying true to the fourth amendment: “If I’m not
doing anything wrong, and you have no probable cause, evidence or
warrant, then I respectfully demand that you let me go about my
business."
It works. Really.
Watch the video mash up above of Americans resisting unlawful requests by various enforcement officials:
When you resist you will undoubtedly be met with counter-resistance, perhaps even threatened with arrest or worse.
Oftentimes, prosecutors and judges will side with law enforcement officers in the "typical your word against their's" scenario.
But with modern day technology, you can turn the tables, and never have to face unjust questioning, detainment, or arrest again.
Here are some tips for joining the resistance using technology you have at your fingertips:
* Always have a video camera on you. Most of us already have the means to
record footage using our cell phones.
*
Add a secondary device covertly hidden in your vehicle in the event you
are pulled over. Preferably, you'll want it to be transportable when
you go for a leisurely stroll, so a James Bond style spy pen may be your
best bet. Most can record up to 6 hours of audio and video in high
definition. If your camera is seized and the storage chip destroyed,
your secondary device will not only prove your innocence, but show that
evidence was purposefully destroyed.
* Stream your recording to
the internet as it happens. In recent years new "apps" have been made
available that essentially allow you to instantly stream your recordings
to the internet, so no matter how hard they stomp on your mobile
device, it'll be too late because the video of that boot coming down on
your
cell phone camera is being uploaded in real time. (Here are some apps to try that will allow you to instantly record
to your Facebook, Youtube or cloud server: VTweetIT for Android, Qik
for Android, More Streaming Apps for Android, OpenWatch for iPhone, Qik
Video for iPhone)
* Do not tell police you are recording them
when they first approach you. Police officers will often claim that we
have no right to record them. Because they almost always execute their
duties in public and they have no reasonable expectation of privacy when
doing so, we the people have every right to make a record of their
activities – it's like writing it down in a journal, except using
modern tech. In May of 2012 the 7th Circuit Court found a specific First
Amendment right to record police officers, a ruling whose legality was
upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. This means that you are well within
your right to record a police officer without having to alert them to
the recording, even if your state requires "two party consent" for audio
or video recordings.
Thirty thousand drones soon to be
patrolling our skies with high definition recording capabilities.
Cameras on every street corner and in every police car. Audio recording
devices on buses and trains. NSA monitoring stations and DHS fusion
centers aggregating and flagging all of it.
Who’s
watching the watchers?
We are.
