Increasingly, and openly, ordinary Americans are committing a legal act that some police nonetheless regard as among the most heinous of all offences: it’s called contempt of cop.
It’s otherwise known as asserting your constitutional rights.
Citizens, feeling empowered, are pointing smartphones, rather than just an accusing finger, at abusive authorities.
Civil libertarians with hidden cameras are challenging the so-called “suspicion-less” roadblocks that police set up to catch lawbreakers. Motorists and others are fighting back in the courts and online against police shakedown rackets on U.S. highways and elsewhere.
Everywhere, it seems, Americans are openly challenging arbitrary behaviour by those in authority.
Furthermore, they are winning. Not since the late 1960s have those in authority, from heavy-handed cops to the federal operatives sifting metadata in super-secret intelligence installations, been exposed to so much disinfecting sunlight.
It’s marvelous to see such courage, and further proof that whatever the world might say about America, no other democracy takes the rule of law more seriously.

"I firmly believe it is up to the citizenry of any nation to determine how much freedom and liberty they want to live under. Kudos to the citizens who make it through the check points with no confrontation by simply exercising their rights under the 4th amendment, and kudos to the officers who recognize those rights and let them pass freely with no physical confrontation against the citizens. With that said, I also believe the officers are not to blame for trying to get citizens to give up their constitutional rights, but the hidden people writing the training manuals are to blame (of which I strongly suspect communist and/or islamic ties). If we correct the training manuals to make it illegal for an officer to intimidate a citizen to give up their constitutional rights (and any law that supports such acts), the officers will act with in our constitutional laws, and the direction to a police state will be reversed. Who is writing the training manuals for both our Military, and our Police? When that question is answered, we will be on the road to a nation of constitutional law once again IMO. Police follow orders, so lets correct the orders."
No, No, No, No thank you. Know your rights...
Well done to those folk above in the video and let's see more of it!
