Guest Post by Eric Peters
I found the following video – taken by a news reporter in her car – and thought it was worth a word or three. The woman is sitting in her vehicle, apparently doing a live feed – via Skype or Facebook or some such. The point is, she’s just sitting in her car and isn’t bothering anyone.
An “anonymous call” summons a “hero” – who claims they “got a call” about a “crazy lady” talking to herself.
Note two facts.

First, that it is not illegal to sit in your car a talk to yourself – and thus, “heroes” (armed government workers) had no lawful business accosting the woman. Yet she was compelled – under duress – to interrupt what she was doing and explain her business to an armed government worker. Had she ignored the armed government worker and driven off, the armed government worker almost certainly would have escalated the situation. This could have resulted in her being physically attacked, possibly shot to death. The “hero” would claim the woman “ignored his commands” and … well, you know how it goes.
Second, this business of “someone called.”
Remember that old business about having a right to be confronted by your accuser?
So much for that business.
Now all it takes, apparently, is for “someone” to call. Or for an armed government worker to claim “someone” called. No actual proof that “someone” called is necessary. Nor that this “someone” be required to identify themselves, so that the accused may know who has accused him. 
It was like this in the old Soviet Union. All it took for the NKVD thugs to show up at your door was an anonymous tip – or the claim of one.
Am I the only one who groks that this opens the door to the elimination of whatever remains of legal immunity from random, arbitrary abuse by armed government workers?
And to those who think I am over-reacting, that the incident above – and others like it – are petty annoyances and not to worry, I remind you of SWATTing people. It’s the same thing. “Someone” calls, makes anonymous and unsubstantiated claims that hostages are being held at gunpoint, kids are being abused – etc. – and that’s all it takes to summon a gang of heavily armed government workers to the doorstep of the soon-to-be-victim, innocent of any crime.
He hears screaming men, sees flashing lights. Surprised, he opens the door and gestures – and is shot dead on his porch for the sake of Officer Safety. This happens now, in America.
Because America is no longer America.
Because of what you see in this video.
It is not a pleasent place for most people to be, but spending some time in the law library is nessesary to be armed with the info that can possibly save oneself ie; knowing what questions to ask the goons that are harrasing you. Problem is, the courts are on their side.
With the internet, you don’t even have to actually visit a physical law library down at the courthouse anymore.
Yes, very true.
Where have you been, this has been going on for awhile now. It has happened to me several times.
In one case, I was early to an appointment and decided to wait in my car. A neighbor came up to my car screaming at me because he thought I was filming him and his daughter (I was reading an article on The Burning Platform). He called the cops on me. The cops told me to show my I.D. and I calmly asked them if I was required to show them my I.D. and if I was doing anything illegal. They ignored my questions (I never did produce my I.D. for them. In fact, when he asked for I.D., I said “what for, you’ve already run my plates and know who I am.) and continued asking me questions. I was asked to get out of the car. I did get out but I also threw my keys on the front seat and locked the door. I only answered questions about what I was doing there. I then asked if I was free to go. They didn’t answer that question either but I started walking and they never stopped me. They did wait to see which house I walked into though. I suppose they wanted to see if I was lying. I told my client what happened and she said the neighbor might have called because I looked like the guy who killed a neighbor. I saw on the news, a few days later, they had captured the killer. I didn’t see a bit of similarities.
We have rights but it doesn’t fucking matter in the moment but in the moment is when it matters.
What happens when being a CCWL is enough for a cop to feel threatened and just starts shooting the minute he finds out?
This shit will continue forever or until the people fight back.
Do your fighting in court and be prepared to spend a lot of money. Fighting during your interaction with the police can get you killed.
Ahh, err, I never said to fight. I said what happens after the first time a cop shoots someone simply because he/she is a CCW holder and the cop claims that was enough reason to be scared and shoots a person?
You’re solution is no solution at all. You might as well advocate boot licking. You don’t win against .gov of any color. You’re just regurgitating.
Years ago, (~1994) we had the child protective services come to our house saying that they got a complaint that we were keeping children locked up in a closet… I shit you not. They said that if we didn’t let them come in to verify that the police would be called to assist. Of course at the time it was considered foolish to me so I just let them come in and look around. They proceeded to look in every closet. I asked who called and of course it was confidential so they wouldn’t tell. They left without incident but I always wondered about that.
I imagine that in this post 911 world of “see something, say something” these things could be much worse. I would not allow anyone to come in without a warrant these days, I wouldn’t even answer the door.
Anonymous calls to some protective or law enforcement agency are a safe weapon to use against anyone you like, just avoid something like a swatting call that can be traced back to you in any way.
Who do you know that doesn’t like you for some reason and wants to get even?
Policing should follow the Japan model, where they only interact when life & property is threatened, and no more. Police are too involved with the public for two principle reasons: one is government mandated revenue collection, because we have a runaway ever increasing government budget (to pay for the ever increasing afro american entitlement system), and number two, because administrators demand a constant quantification of aggressive proactive activity, as opposed to an order maintenance style that emphasizes the elimination of the opportunity for criminals to commit crime, and responding to true emergencies.
In cupcake land, where violent felony offenses are at the very minimum, there should be very little interaction between the citizen and the police. But is seams that small town/suburban cops are the most overeager to aggressively interact with the citizen (probably because they are not routinely dealing with violent ghetto dwellers). SWATing doesn’t really happen in places like NYC, Philly, LA, Chicago, Newark, because they send a radio car to assess the situation first, and if they find a barricaded incident, then call a SWAT team, as opposed to cupcake cops who eagerly send the SWAT team first.
But this does not excuse libtard anarchos, and leftist progs, from aiding and abetting groups like the BLM. Afro americans are responsible for most of the violent felony offenses against other people. These suffering victims are real, yet the anarcho libtards, limousine libs, and leftist progs, ignore them and continuously pontificate from afar (from cupcake land) that the BLM are freedom fighters. However what the BLM really are the enablers of violent afro criminality, and if libtards dealt with it directly in real terms, such nonsense wouldn’t be as easily professed (its easy living in a theoretical world when you never constantly grew with the threat to your own personal safety in your own neighborhood).
The Japanese are a very, very different culture than the Americans.
Much more polite, respectful, and generally more peaceful than we are, they can do their policing very differently than us and be just as or more effective at it.
Fact , police are not your friend they are at best report file and revanue agents for the government with a thimble full of authority that they are convinced you cannot challenge and the tax payer funded court system is also their legal support team you as a citizen are worthless to them other than an object to extract wealth from to support their petty existance . When seconds count they are minutes away .
I down voted you for your run-on sentence and rambling diatribe. Carry on.
Sorry for the run on , I get on a roll and find it hard to hit the brakes . I was a marine electrical , generator and HVAC guy for 42 years so my letter writing skills are stale !
Yes in cupcake land that is mostly true, however in the urban jungle cities they are (for better or worse) the first line of defense against the barbarian afro hordes. For those of us who lived in urban city neighborhoods, no explanation is necessary (but those who live in cupcake land have difficulty comprehending the difference… that cupcake is a very different place from the urban jungle, and so is there policing).
The problem with White flight: the current progeny of cupcake dwellers have no idea what their parents/grandparents escaped from when they moved to the suburbs. They fancifully think living in the serious city urban jungle is the same as living in suburban cupcake land of make believe. They don’t have to confront the unprovoked afro violence in real terms, so are unconcerned with it, yet are quick to pontificate from afar about something they know nothing about.
With the exception of a few aggressive egocentrics, most of the urban ghetto cops are too tired to want to interact with the public more than they have to, and resent ticket quotas when they are already responding to numerous calls of service a day (with many of them involving violent felonies). They rather civilians just go away and leave them alone (especially with frivolous complaints). They are only eager to see the end of their shift, and are not very eager to bother with traffic offenses. They are pro gun, and tacitly approve of street justice when neighborhoods took care of criminals unofficially themselves.
Thus because the cupcake dwellers are mad that their cupcake town cop gave them a ticket instead of a pass, they want to shut down city policing too. They don’t even consider the consequences to their fellow urban citizens who must deal with real afro violence solo without support (they don’t have a platoon backing them up). By doing this they are actually aiding the leftist who are trying to eliminate private gun ownership, street justice, and urban policing response, against criminal afro predators.
If the cupcake busybodies cannot help, maybe they should mind their own business then, and just worry about whats going on in their own cupcake land , and not make fanciful decisions from afar on how to police the urban ghetto afro barbarian horde (because once the urban ghetto afro barbarian hordes breakout past the cities, they are coming to cupcake land next, where it will be mostly easy pickings).
I saw a neighbor walking his dog without a leash. I called the copfuks. They shot the dog and when my neighbor protested, they shot him. Then they cuffed him and since I was watching, they waved at me as if to say, thank you for the opportunity to kill somebody today and you will keep quiet, won’t you?
My neighborhood is much safer now.
Fixed it for you.
Probably a pink iPhone styled like a gun.
Duck lady!
Some years ago a friend of mine had, had a few too many, so instead of driving home he decided to sleep it off in his car, in the plaza parking lot where the bar was located “Somebody Called” about a person sleeping in a car in a parking lot, because it was winter he had the heater on so he was arrested for DUI, at that time generally the first DUI, was plead to reckless op, but because the DA wanted to make the point that a DUI was committed whenever the key was in the ignition they would not drop or even plead the case. He fought it in court, the case was sent to the jury on Friday after noon, several jurors were opposed to conviction but when the judge told them they would have to stay until close of the day and even come back Monday of they could not reach a decision. According to what one of the jurors who wanted to acquit told his later they folded because those who wanted a conviction would not budge and those that wanted to acquit gave in because they wanted to go home before rush hour. He was convicted of DUI for not driving and putting lives in danger,
