  • When Can Police LAWFULLY Enter Your Home & How Can You LAWFULLY Stop Them?
    Sep 14 2024

    So a video is making the rounds of the internets in which a police officer responding to a noise complaint is standing just inside the doorway of a home while the female homeowner shouts at him to get out of her house.

    The officer refuses, makes a bunch of zany claims—such as “I own your house now”—and ultimately places the woman under arrest and handcuffs her.

    Could this possibly be lawful conduct on the part of the officer? There are, in fact, a number of conditions in which a police officer can lawfully enter your home, with or without your permission—but does this video demonstrate any of those?

    In today’s show we discuss the major categories of circumstances in which the police can lawfully enter your home—see if any of them apply to this video—and then discuss what your legal and practical options are to lawfully prevent police from entering your home unlawfully.

  • TYREEK HILL VIDEO: Police Demonized Over Non-Compliance, AGAIN!
    Sep 11 2024

    NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill is clocked speeding by police and pulled over. Once stopped police see he’s also not wearing his seatbelt. That’s two driving infractions right there—but that’s not enough for Hill.

    Hill also decides to be unlawfully non-compliant with lawful orders given by the police for purposes of safety, to the point where the police must compel compliance by dragging him from his car, detaining him, cuffing him, and sitting him down on the sidewalk.

    The bad actor in all this? I’d say that’s Tyreek Hill—but of course, a large swath of the internet disagrees with me, as usual.

    Join me to learn & discuss the legal realities of traffic stops and obligatory compliance with police orders!
