1. Don't commit crimes (If you do when we come for you, please listen to our helpfull hints on how to not get shot/tased/AK'ed)
2. Do not drive drunk (If you do please listen to our helpfull hints)
3. Obey traffic laws and keep you plates/dl current (When stopped, ears open mouth shut and you will most likely get a warning, If you disagree I will be happy to discuss in a court, if you disagree and are remaining calm I will even be willing to discuss on the side of the road)
4. Don't hang out with criminals or druggies
5. If you can't do #3 then remain quite and calm do not engage in acts that make us think that you want to fight, If I ask you questions you don't want to or are not required to answer try the following "Am I free to go?" We will tell you

The point he is trying to make is that under most circumstances if you have a complaint, the side of the road/parking lot/etc is not the place to discuss it.

To answer Dusty, it is possible with passive resistance but that is outside the scope of the question asked and is heavily situation dependant.

So in short, blah blah blah. The op's advice is good advice.

It's remarkable how easy it is to NOT break the law to the extend that you get searched/cuffed/arrested/tased.

Honestly, some folks have delusions of grandure

I could not care less about where you are going what you are doing unless you are breaking the law. I don't want to kick your ass for a lot of reasons. Even when you are breaking the law in a minor method, I would really like to cut you a break, but when you just have to stick it to the man.......

Dang, the driver had barely 10 seconds from first request for DL and proof of insurance before the police officer raised his tone. Then just under 25 seconds before the officer opened the car door to have the driver step out.

Is this the normal time requirement for producing DL/insurance?

DUI checkpoint

We don;t do those, we do saturation patrols
It's very easy to make it through those as well if you have not been drinking
Edit:
I suggest you contact you local Sheriff, Troop commander and get like minded folks to do so as well, We hate the checkpoints as officers as well, it ties up valuabe manhours to appease some groups.

From a different thread:

THE SECOND TO LAST THING I EVER WANT TO DO IS USE FORCE I bet 95% of all offciers and 99.9% of Arfcom officers feel the same way

Lets discuss why:
1. I like to treat people like I would like to be treated. I try to give everyone a chance to do things the easiset way for both parties involved
2. They can and do get hurt (see below, then I have to transport their sorry ass to the hospitial or wait for a medic)
3. It's a crapload of paperwork
4. I would be overjoyed if I could complete a shift without having to arrest anyone, but sadly they just won't let me do that. People blow off their court dates, beat up their spouse, drive drunk, rob,rape, and otherwise violate others. Therefore I must bring them to answer for their transgressions to their peers. If you are not an ass I will even call the jail and have them get started on your paperwork so you may get out sooner.
5. I am not in the punishement business nor a sadist, sadly some people will not listen to reason, and they must be compeled to do things, such as submit to arrest, I will try and convince you that submitting is the best course of action for both of us, but if that fails, I must either convince you by pain compliance, physicaly making you or even deadly force if it comes to that, but the arestee is always in control of how far it goes, if you are in pain or being injured you may stop resisting at any time, and then I will get you any medical attention that you may need, and so long as you don't want to start acting a fool again we are done, nothing personal it's a job. If you want to act decent there will be no malace form me

If he had followed #3 and not broken the speed limit and had his plates encounter woul dhave never taken place

70 in a 65? Get serious. They didn't have their rear plate on, that's probably why they were pulled over.

I hope that officer is no longer an officer.
The response was "Whoa whoa whoa. Let me get it."

My understanding of the English language is that the person stated they are going to produce their license.

Tolerance for shit like this is why there are cop bashing threads. If people like this were fired or SERIOUSLY reprimanded like they should be, there wouldn't be a problem.

Wow, that was completely out of line by that officer, I hope he got hammered for that. There are a number of ways it can be approached, and that was the wrong one. I have been stopped for not having a plate on the front of my car, had it in the trunk. Officer was polite and just asked to make sure it was on. I put it in the front windshield, had no way to attach it to the bumper. He stopped me again for it, remembered me and said it had to be on the bumper and let me go.

Ended up having to drill out my bumper, but had respect for the officer because he was polite and treated me well, and not like I was "not respecting his authority!"
I agree that it was probably legal but unprofessional. But there was another way it could have been avoided. If the officer hadn't been a dickhead from the very begining the motorist may not have ended up out of the car and on the ground with a tazer sticking out of his ass.

I dont get harassed by the police and I've made a list of the reasons why:

-I'm White
-I dont drink or do any drugs
-I dont associate with criminals nor engage in a life of crime myself
-My vehicle is nondescript with current paperwork

It seems like if everyone would follow the rules that I adhere to every day then they'd be fine.

Most of the problems I see stem from only these issues.

What's disturbing is an apparent trend in the escalation of violence. In many of these cases, we see the officer unnecessarily escalating the situation. It might be legal, but is really right or moral?

I surely do love the Taser. Because of it I do not have to use force in the way of my fists, or a baton. Taser is a 5 second ride, and then you are done unless resistance continues(I have taken Taser hits). Baton / fists is physical injury guaranteed. What amazes me is how often the baton is not used when it is completely justified. That aside, having to use force is a pain in the ass. I would much rather talk with someone and gain verbal compliance, but that just doesnt alway happen I wont talk long, especially if there are signs of active resistance or its threat. If I have to use force, I will do it quickly and end the situation. Letting things escalate never works.

I like guns, I like freedom, I wish CCW for all law abiding citizens I am tired of being perceived as the Gestapo, who spends time devising ways to screw the public. I do my job to the best of my abilities (not perfect am I) and ensure my officers do to.

Well then, I guess it's all better now... You have to be kidding me? Three days suspension, with the option to use vacation to cover those days. You think that is satisfactory then? Three days suspsension? My ass. Improper use of force should send this officer back to remedial training. 3 Days suspension is nothing.

And what he has done is more than violate a citizen. He has shamed the Austin Police department. I can't believe they would tolerate scum like that. The officer should have been forced to hand in his badge and gun, and been escorted out of the building. They need to send a message to all their officers that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.

Snip, I can not make policy for APD....

I have not seen APD's UOF policy,
Our leadeship would have most likely taken much more severe steps in that case

In these three pages you've put forth a lot of dogshit. I thought I'd save some time and only comment on piece with the foulest smell and most corn. We all have professions too but you don't see many others giving out advice on how not to encounter physical violence during the discharge of their services. What kind of an asshole goes into a place of mixed company and essentially says this: "I have a monopoly on physical force and if you don't follow items 1-5 I'm going to use it"? Please STFU and get lost.

Did you recently refuse to sign a citation

In your profession are your duties to take into custody people who are violent?

I am an asshole? Thats good, a lot of officers tell me I am too 'nice' I take great pride in being level headed, I can't tell you how many times I would have liked to kick someones ass, however my morals and intergity would not allow me

No I am saying that 9/10 of encounters with the police can be prevented

I will admit that there are bad officers out there I hate them more than you most likely.

I am saying that it is very easy to take simple steps to keep the popo out of your affairs and if the popo are in your affairs there are very easy ways to avoid unpleasant encounters
