Police Make Instructional Video on How to Be Nice While they Rob You

Road piracy in the US has reached epic proportions.

It has gotten so bad that the Canadian government has issued a public service announcement for its citizens warning them that American Road Pirates, aka police officers, may very well rob them upon entry into the US.

Since September 2001, there have been 62,000 incidents of road piracy; resulting in a booty of over $2.5 billion.

In the US, "298 departments and 210 task forces have seized the equivalent of 20 percent or more of their annual budgets since 2008" according to a report by the Post.

Some might try and say that this money and property is obviously "taken from criminals" in order to rationalize this theft on a massive scale. However, as is evident in the case of Mr. Ayala, the government does not have to charge you with a crime, let alone convict you, to take your property and after they steal your property the burden of proof is on you to get it back.

Only one sixth of the 62,000 cases of cash forfeitures to police in the last decade have been challenged in court due to the high cost of challenging the state; not to mention that since their money was stolen, even if they once had the funds to challenge the theft, they may not any longer.

The justice department's asset forfeiture fund in 2011 was $1.8 billion.

In Philadelphia alone, more than $64 million in seized property has been taken in the last decade and 100% of it has gone into the pockets of cops, judges, and other bureaucrats with a hand in the treasure chest.

Consequently, none of the above cases include revenue generated from arbitrary traffic 'laws' for victimless crimes. The total number of people who receive speeding tickets only, is 41,000,000 a year with an average cost of $152.00 each. That is 1 in every 5 licensed drivers in the US.

The total number of speeding tickets paid each year $6,232,000,000 which breaks down to around $300,000 generated per police officer for speeding alone. Tack on seat belt violations, license plate lights, window tint, rolling stop signs, and expired state-mandated documents and that number skyrockets.

Police departments need you to break traffic laws. Revenue generated from traffic tickets is not for your safety, it is necessary for the survival of police departments.

The unchecked highway robbery has gotten so routine that police are now making instructional videos showing citizens how to be properly extorted.

The Lake Charles police department in Louisiana is the latest to jump on the “how to be a proper slave” video bandwagon.

"The goal of this informational video is to educate as many local civic groups, students, neighborhood watch groups, pastors, and the general public," Deputy Chief Mark Kraus told KPLCTV. "This video allows the general public to be well educated on proper etiquette that should be used when stopped by an officer. It answers some common questions such as whether or not law enforcement can request an individual to exit their vehicle, as well as being cautious in regard to sudden moves."

In other words, if you don’t want to be killed, be nice while we rob you.

The video is quite slow and mundane, but the overall message we received from watching it is this, obey or die.







While the above video isn’t very entertaining, the team over at Cops Caught on Tape have made their own version. They’ve inserted various points in an effort to “translate” the video.







The best possible way to deal with a traffic stop is to avoid these dangerous situations entirely. If you want to know how to avoid traffic fines, you can read our guide at this link.
