Know your rights
When researching this story, I couldn’t find the details of what happened here exactly or where it occurred, but what you can see on the video is a clear violation of an elderly man’s rights, after what looks to be a serious roll over car crash. policecrimecom, who posted the video, gives some wonderful information about maintaining your right to remain silent, when dealing with the police. You must say clearly, I choose to remain silent.
The Supreme Court has recommended invoking your right to remain silent and not to talk to officer until you’ve consulted an attorney. The moral of this video is to know your rights and invoke them if necessary to protect yourself and your family.

You have rights during a traffic stop or any police encounter. Learn what your rights are and use them before you loose them!
1. Safety – When being pulled over pull over to a safe place, turn off your ignition, stay in the car and keep your hands on the steering wheel. At night turn on the interior light. Keep your license, registration and proof of insurance close by like in your “sun visor.”
Be courteous, stay calm, smile and don’t complain. Show respect and say things like “sir and no sir.” Never bad-mouth a police officer, stay in control of your words, body language and your emotions. Keep your hands where the police officer can see them. Never touch a police officer and never run away!
2. Remain Silent Never Talk To A Police Officer – The Supreme Court says you should never talk to a police officer before or after you’ve been arrested. The Supreme Court ruled you must speak up and say to the police officer ”I’m going to remain silent” and then keep your mouth shut. How can you be falsely accused and charged with a crime if you don’t say anything? Anything you say or do can and will be used against you at anytime by the police or the government. Bite your tongue! If you can keep your mouth shut, you might come out ahead more than you expected.
3. Just Say NO To Police Searches! – If a police officer didn’t need your permission to search, he wouldn’t be asking you. Never give permission for a police officer to search you, your car or your home. If a police officer does search you, don’t resist and keep saying “I don’t consent to this search.” Police are not allowed to go inside your pockets and pull out your property. Police are allowed to do a “pat down” of your body and feel for weapons.
4. Am I Free To Go? – As soon as the police officer ask you a question ask “am I free to go?” You have to ask if you’re “free to go,” otherwise the police officer will think that you’re voluntarily staying to talk with him. If the police officer says you’re being detained or arrested tell the police officer “I’m going to remain silent.”

I don’t see a need for police any more. The people can help the people.
