This is a total invasion of the Constitution, man.
Is this your car?
Do they, uh... Do they search in your car?
Did they give you a warrant for that?
Did you know it's your 4th Amendment of the Constitution for them not to search your vehicle?
Yeah, they're not supposed to search your vehicle without warrants under the 4th Amendment of the Constitution.
It's a seizure, a cease and seizure amendment of the Constitution.
Can somebody give me a comment please?
About what?
I mean, is this a legal stop?
Absolutely.
And now this falls under the Constitution of the United States, under the 4th Amendment.
Have a good night.
Yeah, this is a police state, people.
Police state, USA.
Anybody want to give him a comment?
Illegal seizures.
Illegal search of vehicles.
This is the totalitarian police state.
The police are not allowed to be in the city.
This is a violation of the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution.
Ma'am, did you know they violated your Fourth Amendment and the Constitution?
Exactly!
And if I didn't tell them that I was pregnant before they touched me, they would have fucked me up.
And I told them that, too.
Since my face is on there, I'll say that.
Did they ask you to insert your card?
Fuck no.
Hey, leave my customers alone.
Hey, don't tell me what to do.
It's my 1st Amendment.
It's my 1st Amendment of the Constitution, buddy.
Why give a shit, alright?
I'm going along on my watch.
It's my 1st Amendment, so shove it.
People like you are damn tyrants.
This ain't no police state, buddy.
I don't give a fuck!
Don't harass my customers!
I'm not harassing them.
These people violated their fourth amendment.
Hey ma'am, I would file charges.
It's your fourth amendment in the Constitution for them not to search your vehicle without a warrant.
This is where the police state is, people.
- Fuck, freaking unbelievable.
Was this the police stay here?
What happened to the Constitution?
This ain't no police state!
This is the United States of America!
You know, they're only stopping here, black people, Puerto Rican people, and they're stopping white people over here.
What's going on?
And we don't see no Puerto Rican cop, no black cop over here.
That's something wrong over here, you know?
Look, look.
Okay?
I know.
You know?
This is a violation of the Constitution.
This is a racial thing over here right now.
This is a violation of the Constitution, right here.
Yep.
Right here.
Those cops wouldn't even talk to me either.
Yeah, I know.
You know, we're going to talk to everybody.
We can't talk to them.
What's the reason they're doing this?
It's a police state.
They're violating all our constitutional rights right now.
That's the point.
Yeah.
Because you know what?
You know what?
I believe there should be a black cap over here, a Puerto Rican cap over here, and they only got white people, white cap over here, and they're not stopping non-white people.
They're only stopping black people and Puerto Rican people. - It just poured.
They're just boring!
Absolutely.
This is our Constitution that violates right here.
Because they're a bunch of racist bastards, that's why.
I think I got to do something possible with the Arizona law over there.
You know?
I think that.
Yeah, why'd you stop that handle?
So I want answers no.
No.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir.
Yes?
I want to know what's going on over here.
The vehicle's getting towed.
Huh?
Did you know that the 4th Amendment of the Constitution was violated?
Why is that?
Because you have to have a warrant to search somebody's vehicle without probable cause.
It wasn't a search.
It was an inventory.
An inventory?
That's against the Constitution.
No, according to the mass case law, state police policy, all vehicles being towed after the inventory.
It's all set, sir.
Why is all the police officers out right now?
We're just saturating the area.
Saturate?
Did you know that's a police state against the Constitution of the United States?
Sir, we have a right to be here like anybody else.
Absolutely, but did you know you take a sworn oath to defend the Constitution?
I am.
And pulling everybody over for no reason?
No reason.
There's a thousand cops out here and we want to know what's going on.
This is a helicopter, too.
This ain't no police state!
Have a good night, sir.
This is the United States of America!
