Actually 50 cops on a scene is a disturbance. Heck 5 police for a traffic stop is a disturbance
MY POLICE STATE | HONEST GOVERNMENT AD
0:00
Hello, I’m from the Australien Government
0:02
Have you been too busy to notice that we’re dismantling democracy?
0:05
Well, here’s a new app to help you keep track of all our shitfuckery
0:08
Introducing: My Police State!
0:10
Just like My Health Record but with no clear opt out choice, My Police State is for your own safety
0:16
Which is why we’ve already signed you up
0:18
coz we wouldn’t want you to miss out on our exciting journey into authoritarianism
0:22
My Police State!
0:23
Packed with exciting features. Like 20-year jail sentences if you make us look bad
0:27
by commiting the crime of Journalism
0:29
And especially the crime of Whistleblowing. Just ask Witness K
0:32
who exposed how we helped an oil company fuck over Timor Leste
0:35
We’re pushing to try him in a secret court. Because…
0:38
My Police State!
0:39
Also includes: new laws to break up protests
0:42
new laws to break encryption
0:43
facial recognition
0:45
as well as attacks on courts and judges… on Unions…
0:47
And attacks on Aunty. Or as we call her, Auntyfa
0:50
*snort*
0:51
Oh and remember we’ve also made it a crime to impersonate the Government, so don’t do it
0:55
My Police State!
0:56
To run My Police State, we’ve created a brand new Government Department: Home Affairs
1:01
Located in Canberra’s leafy suburb of Mordor, it brings our most powerful agencies together
1:06
under one single roof. Even the Federal Police
1:08
Which means if we ever need to investigate, say, Borcer Force for human rights abuses in Nauru
1:13
or ASIO for cooking up WMDs to justify another war
1:17
Home Affairs will be investigating itself.
1:19
What could go wrong?
1:20
Sure, there’s a risk that this unholy concentration of power could one day fall into the hands
1:24
of a cold-hearted minister who despises human rights and… oh wait…
1:28
One ring to rule them all
1:30
Ok so we’re fucked
1:31
But hey, the PM had to do something to keep Pete from taking his job
1:35
and selling out your liberties was worth it
1:37
Home Affairs – coz your Home is where you’re most likely to be harmed; but we also know
1:42
that hyping up fears of gangs, terrorists and refugees is way more effective
1:46
at scaring you into letting us build an authoritarian shitshow
1:50
My Police State
1:51
If you don’t like My Police State you can opt out at the next federal election
1:54
PS. My Police State is supported by both major parties
1:57
Authorised by the Department of Home O’Fears
Cops arrested him for filming in public, but things took a bizarre turn when the case went to court
The arrest of a Texas cop watcher for filming in public is the most recent chilling example of how law enforcement across the country is attempting to roll back auditors’ First Amendment rights. Jack Miller, also known as Texas Sheepdog, was filming outside the Olmos Park, Texas, City Hall when police arrested and charged him with multiple crimes. The ensuing five-day trial and jury verdict reveal that citizens’ ability to film in public is facing new obstacles and concerted pushback from the government.
…Let me get this straight. He went out to film a PSA about not threatening cops, only to have the cops brutally assault him trying to help cops. The Irony in this story is off the charts. 📈🤦🏿
How to Refuse an inland Checkpoint
All suspicionless checkpoints 100% illegal. We must refuse them.

You can also get some tips for filming police and officials on this post: http://callmegav.com/2014/05/tips-fro…
CHECKPOINT TIPS:
– Relax, sometimes we have to stand up to stay free. Now is the time
– You will be nervous. It takes courage to stand up to bully and it’s not without any risk, but it’s worth it.
– Do not answer citizenship questions. It’s all about making you comply.
– If you wish to speak to them make eye contact and ask “Am I being detained – Am I free to go. You can banter if you want but you don’t need to.
– DO NOT pull over to secondary. When you are in the road THEY are under pressure. If you pull over they can just ignore you and make you wait. They win.
– Talk to the camera. You can also talk to the camera and pretend they are not there. This throws them off and can also help you stay clear headed.
– You have the right to remain silent.
– Lock the doors, put it in park and wait. Keep the camera rolling.
There is a lie being spread that treating disrespectful behavior with open disdain is to disrespect authority — In truth rebelling against the rule of unjust law in order to oppose tyranny and immorality is by action to show utmost respect for law, order and justice. It is and always has been the epitome of human courage.
Question and challenge government all the time — Otherwise they will trample you every time. The idea that we must me patriotic of the State itself rather than the freedom we hold dear is a lie.

DETAILS ON THIS STOP:
We are being stopped at an in inland checkpoint near Alamogordo New Mexico. This is not a border crossing of ANY kind – http://twitter.com/gavinseim – http://seimstudios.com
I also posted the video to FB.. http://on.fb.me/10LJweX and Vimeo… http://vimeo.com/63508451 in case it gets removed from here.
I am traveling the US with my family on a three month road trip (http://bit.ly/Wu2Gq0). I value your freedom and mine and I’ve had enough of the tyranny – Maybe I’ll run for Congress next year. I’m not joking, I am fed up.
We must stand for freedom, else we WILL lose it. More about this stop on our blog as well as alternate video sources… http://bit.ly/122V8O5

CHECKPOINT LAW:
United States v. Martinez-Fuerte
Government surfs love to cite this one – In reality the 4th amendment of the US Constitution is supposed to protect us from stops like this. Here is what the court said.
“While the need to make routine checkpoint stops is great, the consequent intrusion on Fourth Amendment interests is quite limited. The stop does intrude to a limited extent on motorists’ right to “free passage without interruption,”While the need to make routine checkpoint stops is great, the consequent intrusion on Fourth Amendment interests is quite limited. The stop does intrude to a limited extent on motorists’ right to “free passage without interruption..” – United States v. Martinez-Fuerte, 428 US 543 – Supreme Court 1976
While the Supreme Court ignored the Constitution in regards to these checkpoints that does not mean we have to comply and certainly does not mean they can detain us without cause. In my option is was tant amount to treason as they admitted that this was a violation bit allowed it anyways.

Free nations don’t have arbitrary check points.
Comments
These guys are just following orders, if they where a family of color they would of pulled them over. You’re not supposed to racially profile but they do it. And yes if the tires are flatten, he will pay for them thru taxes he’s putting in anyways. I’ve driven thru this check point 100s of times, These BP agents are actually nice guys. This guy is just an instigator. He proved nothing. Once these guys see you’re a regular , they tend to not bother with the question. I had a friend not answer once, they pulled him over and took plenty of time checking vehicle and back ground just to irritate him at another check point. Im sure they’re trained to look for certain “things” like accents, crappy vehicles, attitude etc.
