Star and flag for useful info most people don't realize. By useful I mean these tactics are mostly useful as long as you really AREN'T dunk, on drugs, or have weapons in plain sight.
Don't be afraid of police officers. They're civilians too, many just don't acknowledge that.

So make it painless for you while making it painful for those to come, those who stand up for our rights.. How precious you are to think of only yourself.
When was the last time you denied them to search your stuff? I bet never. People are all brave behind their keyboards. Late night on the hiway when they ask you to step from your vehicle, however…
You'll comply like all the rest. But hey, go ahead and become the next viral video, your fifteen minutes of fame await you.
It's amazing how many people think that they are being brave and bad-ass by sitting at a keyboard and encouraging others to figuratively throw themselves in front of the tanks.
I have had to stand my ground with officers before, and I found that as long as you stay calm, do not get irate, and state exactly what you know your rights to be when they begin to attempt to step on those rights, they back off very quick. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Excuse me while I attempt to stop laughing. That has to be the most bizarre bit of cowardliness and Histrionic Personality disorder I have ever seen.
Yup-those Pigs will back off every time you tell them YOUR RIGHTS !!!!!

I'll say this and rile the "die for your rights" crowd. Today the police are operating on a different set of principles. These videos (and DupeTube is full of them) are nice in principal, but leave little to reflect upon in actual practice.
I know, I lived outdoors and can attest the best thing to do with them is let them have their menial way with you. They'll have it anyway. If they find nothing they got nothing. Let them grab at you, cuff you, rifle your belongings, whatever. Try resisting them and the majority will make your life far more miserable than if you just let them do their job as they see it.
The few that mean harm and will actually plant evidence aren't the rule. The rule is they are going to see your ID, they are going to ask questions, they are going to look through your stuff. Say yes sir, and thank you. Then go on your way.
Or go to "detention" or the hospital, your choice. Then you can argue your case in court after you get the stitches removed. I'm not advocating living like sheep, I'm advocating making a direct encounter with them as painless as possible for you.

Only one way to deal with a police officer bent of enforcing his will.
Bend over and lube up! Else you may just get shot, and they shoot to kill buddy!edit on 16-4-2014 by Donkey_Dean because: (no reason given)
The best way to handle cops is to do whatever they tell you, especially if you are alone. If you feel your rights are violated then take them to court. We're talking real world here not dummy-tube videos or a perfect world situation. You don't win taking on cops one-on-one with your "rights".
If you have people, and news media coverage, and plenty of cameras to document, and full knowledge of the Constitution and Amendments to the Constitution, you could be more vocal with your rights. Not recommended to take on cops for the sake of it. Most are just trying to do their job....unlike the sensationalist videos day after day. Bad cops should be weeded out, fired, prosecuted.

A friend had a decal made that said "for insurance purposes this vehicle is video recorded from various angles as well as audio recorded" placed this just above the window pane on the driver side. He used to have issues when pulled over, couple times officers have asked where the cameras are, he doesn't tell them. Main reason for no answer..... there are no cameras or audio devices, all be it cell phones in vehicle. But I must say just at the thought that their every action could be watched, I may say, a change in way they conduct themselves for sure.
And pretty funny too....
