CNN claims, if you are stopped by police while driving you should obey a cops orders even if they break the law.
“The officer doesn’t know who you are” said Cedric Alexander, CNN law enforcement analyst. This is 100% B.S.!
When a cop stops a motorist what’s the FIRST thing they do? They run your registration through their databases which tells the officer who the owner of the vehicle is and what your home address is and that’s just for starters.
Just how much do cops really know about you? The truth is much scarier than mass-media would lead you to believe.
This month I reported how “police are giving American addresses color coded threat ratings.”
Once a cop has your license and registration they know more than you realize:
Police are using more than TWENTY EIGHT automated “risk assessment” programs on EVERYONE driving or travelling in the US! Click here & here to find out more.
If you know your rights and exercise them, just hope that cop you just pissed off doesn’t call dispatch and say they have a “hostile vehicle” which essentially brands you a terrorist!
The CNN article goes on to say, the first thing an officer is looking out for is his or her safety.
Sarah Bland “could flick the cigarette at him?” CNN legal analyst and criminal defense lawyer PaulCallan said.
Leave it to mass media to publish a B.S. story about cops being put in jeopardy because a motorist could flick a lit cigarette at them!
CNN’s “experts” and I use the term loosely claim, it’s legal to record a traffic stop but that doesn’t mean you should!
Retired New York police detective Harry Houck said an officer should never tell a person not to record.
But, he and other experts said, having the right to do certain things doesn’t necessarily mean you should do them.
WTF? A cop can’t legally order you to put out a cigarette but you should obey them because they work for the government?
What the mass-media is saying is we know cops can and will break the law, just obey them and hope you don’t get shot!
What CNN didn’t mention is Houck said Sarah Bland would be alive today if she wasn’t ARROGANT and just blindly followed a cops orders!
“An officer does have the choice to bring anyone out of the vehicle when he stops them for his own safety,” Houck told CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday. “The whole thing here is that she was very arrogant from the beginning, very dismissive of the officer, alright?”
CNN political contributor Marc Lamont Hill pointed out that Bland did not have a legal responsibility to “kiss the officer’s butt.”
“She has a right to be irritated,” Hill said. “A lot of us get irritated when we get pulled over. This officer comes to her and says, ‘Is there something wrong? You seem like you have an attitude.’ He’s trying to pick a fight with her.”
Hill responded to Houck’s claim that everyone should obey a cops orders even if they’re wrong:
“I refused to legitimize police violence against people by telling them that if they behave differently, maybe they won’t die,” Hill insisted. “Harry said maybe you won’t end up on the ground. Yes, there are strategies we can use to survive. But the fact that we live in a world where we have to deploy strategies not to be murdered or killed or assaulted by police unlawfully is absurd.”
I think reporter Blows comment is right on target, the American police state, its judges, politicians etc., will back a cops actions even to the point of killing innocent motorists without any facing any
repercussions.

“Leave it to mass media to publish a B.S. story about cops being put in jeopardy because a motorist could flick a lit cigarette at them!”
Exactly. These code enforcers are afraid of everything and anything, and rightfully so. They created this environment by their own actions and they know their day of reckoning is coming.
Most cars now a days no longer have an ashtray nor a lighter. If a cops “orders” you to put out a cigarette, and your only way to “comply” is to throw it out the window, you will probably be cited with littering. That could be a death sentence.
Cops are afraid of everything.. everything out there in the world is a threat to a cop , but only because they make it a threat to them
Isnt it nice to know we have all these armed pussies out there “fighting” crime?
I have been around plenty of large fires in my forty odd years. One concern I always had was getting hot ash in my eye. Hot ashes do float up from a big blaze. They can settle some distance away and ignite other fires when conditions are very dry and windy. Sheltered suburbanites who have never even see a fireplace, much less a campfire, will have no point of reference.
Abuse cases sometimes reference a child having suffered cigarette burns to their arms as “punishment” for their actions. And anyone who has dropped a lit cigarette in their own lap can attest to the fact it can and will cause damage.
