I have a personal dash-cam installed in my automobile so every time I go on a journey it is recorded. I travel by right "Guaranteed" to me by the constitution, they are not "GRANTED" to me by the constitution, my rights are unalienable and are only recognized as unalienable by the constitution.
With that being said, I was traveling in my home town after picking up my fiance from work and we were on our journey to the store when I was pulled over by local peace officer in an unmarked Chevrolet Impala.
Most likely he engaged this traffic stop and flashed his emergency lights also illegally passing another automobile that was following behind me because my automobile has huge black lettering on the back stating, "PRIVATE Automobile", "PRIVATE Use Only" and "NOT FOR HIRE" and the "NOT FOR HIRE" is directly placed where a commercial license plate would go, so in short my conclusion is he was trying to initiate the stop for lack of commercial license plate. This is only speculation as that was never discussed. :)
I handed the officer two papers that I have printed out to carry with me at all times while I travel in my private automobile. These papers DO NOT include; registration-license plate information, insurance - required for all commercial drivers, and a commercial drivers license or ID - which is required to have at all times when "DRIVING" which I was not (look up the legal definitions of "DRIVING - TRAVELING - DRIVER - TRAVELER")
The officer tried to ask me a question as I simply replied, "I do not answer questions, you have everything right there." As I gestured toward the paperwork he already had in his possession. I did this to uphold my right to remain silent as when talking to a peace officer ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU SAY **CAN AND WILL BE** USED ****AGAINST**** YOU IN A COURT OF LAW. So the less you say the better off you are. I was not trying to be rude to the officer at all as some have said on a previous post of this video to my FB account.
A short while after the question, as I'm trying to get the recording going on my phone as well since the more video evidence the better, but I was too nervous from actually being detained for the short period that I was. He hands me back the information and tells me to have a good day, I then asked, "Am I free to go?" which he replied with a "Yep."
I then proceeded to travel down the road to continue my journey to the store when he pulled over another automobile that passed us while he had me pulled over. Just goes to show, they don't really need much of a reason to pull people over as I didn't notice the automobile doing anything wrong other then being in the wrong place and the wrong time.
I do commend this officer for handling the situation as he did in the light of so many others being brutally beaten and/or shot from similar encounters with law enforcement. This officer recognized my right to travel and that I was legally exerting my right to use my automobile on the public road ways and let me continue on my day. I wish every encounter could be as easy as this one went and I wish every officer would respond the way this one did. Good job on you peace officer on doing the right thing this day.
