Ask supes for tips on abusing police and walking away with your life. He knows all the tricks.




Again, fake news.

They assaulted me first. What part about that do you not get? Oh yea, SJW “femnazis” don’t care


Were you breaking the law?


Whatever law is being broken doesn’t matter.

It’s their responsibility to identify themselves and they failed to do so prior to putting hands on me. They violated MY rights and I acted accordingly. I had no idea about anything back then as I was only a teen. I took a deal when I didn’t have to because I was bullied by a Judge, DA and the cops.......to save their face.

If you're in the act of committing a crime, they can arrest you. With force.. if needed.

by the Terry v. Ohio ruling, police officers are allowed to detain and frisk individuals if the officer has "reasonable suspicion" that an individual is doing a criminal activity or has intent of doing a criminal activity

"Reasonable suspicion means that the police officer must believe that the individual has or is going to commit a crime and may be armed and dangerous"

"However, the Supreme Court has limited this search by stating that the detainment must be brief in nature and the police officer is limited to frisking the outside of the individual’s clothes. Additionally, anything that the police officer feels while frisking the individual must be immediately identifiable as a weapon in order for a further search"

so what? nor the 4th neither the 1st Amendment means his reaction to the officer questioning his motives are justifiable

Loitering means to wait around idly or without apparent purpose.

The purpose is to take photos.

you get arrested for a crime, photography is not a crime, you get detained if someone complain about you taking photos in a public place.

detain =/= arrest

Inside a post office?

It may differ from state to state but I'm pretty sure photography and filming in a post office is under strict guidelines.

You can only take photos for personal use as long as they don't disrupt employees.

He clearly stated he is posting this publicly online and since police were called, obviously caused disruption.

Also pretty sure your pics/film can't depict any postal service employees, customer, security camera, and customers info (aka cover of mail).

no, I said and quoted "Reasonable suspicion means that the police officer must believe that the individual has or is going to commit a crime"

the "is going" is also there, if the officer suspect someone is taking photos in order to commit a crime (knowing how many people are around, the position of goods and other stuff) he can detain in order to investigate.

Musumeci v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security end up adding some rules to take pictures of federal buildings too



"The federal regulations on the topic are lengthy but concisely address the issue of photographing federal buildings. The guidelines read:"

"Except where security regulations, rules, orders, or directives apply or a Federal court order or rule prohibits it, persons entering in or on Federal property may take photographs of -

(a) Space occupied by a tenant agency for non-commercial purposes only with the permission of the occupying agency concerned;

(b) Space occupied by a tenant agency for commercial purposes only with written permission of an authorized official of the occupying agency concerned; and

(c) Building entrances, lobbies, foyers, corridors, or auditoriums for news purposes."

AFAIK that could be the back side of the agency, most agencies I know don't have the truck park side in the front.

so as to my speculation, there's no entrance, lobbie, foyer, corridor, or auditorium in his "photography"

but you're just mindlessly pushing for your side ofc

These people are lame and the system worked as it should. He knew he would provoke this exact reaction as he even stated. And on top of that he wore a holster to add to the 'Suspension' aspect of the fabricated scenario. Why wear an empty holster when taking innocent photos of a post office?

He was never detained as he continued progressing on his path, the officers used ZERO force to keep him from moving. They in fact walked with him and continued asking questions. He CHOSE to stop and engage law enforcement. They never searched him even after noticing the holster. And the police ultimately left without incident.

Ultimately this was a case of postal employees seeing what they thought to be questionable behavior and called the police. Well within their rights to do so. The police show up as the man expected, police ask questions as part of their job as it related to original call. Man refuses to answer questions. Police then determine guy is just another antagonist who only wanted to elicit a reaction and police leave the scene.

While I do believe everyone should understand their rights, I believe people like this actually hurt more than help. I tend to believe most of this comes from a place of entitlement and not responsibility.

And technically I guess he broke the rules of the Post Office as a self proclaimed professional.



"Professional Photographers and Film/TV Production Companies

People who request to take professional-grade photo­graphs or film on Postal Service premises must be referred to the Office of Rights and Permissions, and they will be required to sign a license and/or location agreement prior to taking any photographs or filming. Included in this cate­gory are documentary and student film-makers and photographers."

https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2008/html/pb22228/html/info_005.html



also they talk about the first amendment (I imagine freedom of press?) but that only deal with the spread of information, it has little to do with the way the information is gathered, so it doesn't apply, in the case of the thread is worse, the second amendment? why?

the whole detain vs arrest thing fall under the fourth amendment, but clearly the guy in the video is an idiot himself, only doing that for views.

People fall for that intimidation crap on the daily.


It's how they get you to give up your rights.


I fell for that shit when I was younger


May I ask a question since you live in gun country?

How do you feel about about carry? Or just Texans in general.


I don’t have an issue with open carry.

When Texas was more Conservative nobody was concerned about guns. Hell, half the people had shotguns in their back window or behind the seat.

There’s only been an issue since the California and NY liberals have been coming by the tens of thousands for the tax breaks.

Yeah I don't get it.

90% of people I know here have firearms. Most conceal carry. Several open carry.

I'm not sure why people are so terrified of guns.

These people are lame and the system worked as it should. He knew he would provoke this exact reaction as he even stated. And on top of that he wore a holster to add to the 'Suspension' aspect of the fabricated scenario. Why wear an empty holster when taking innocent photos of a post office?

He was never detained as he continued progressing on his path, the officers used ZERO force to keep him from moving. They in fact walked with him and continued asking questions. He CHOSE to stop and engage law enforcement. They never searched him even after noticing the holster. And the police ultimately left without incident.

Ultimately this was a case of postal employees seeing what they thought to be questionable behavior and called the police. Well within their rights to do so. The police show up as the man expected, police ask questions as part of their job as it related to original call. Man refuses to answer questions. Police then determine guy is just another antagonist who only wanted to elicit a reaction and police leave the scene.

While I do believe everyone should understand their rights, I believe people like this actually hurt more than help. I tend to believe most of this comes from a place of entitlement and not responsibility.

He was on public property.


Timothy McVeigh parked a truck on public property.


The FBI knew well in advance what McVeigh was up to.


That's conjecture. And irrelevant in that there's nothing stopping a repeat of that incident.

What's relevant is that Feds monitor "public property" around their facilities. If you're acting in a manner that is remotely suspicious or concerning, they will take appropriate action.

As they should.

That action should stop at unlawful arrests/detainment.

It's not a straw man. The Feds are very concerned about the immediate area (including public space) around their facilities. This includes people photographing non-tourist buildings. There are regular patrols in the city park across the street from the federal building just down the street. The enhanced security started AFTER the OKC bombing. It's extremely relevant.

If you engage in suspicious activity, then get stopped for said activity, you really can't complain.

"suspicious activity" is not a crime and does not constitute the removal of citizen's rights.

well, it didn't really even get that far, like @Tartarus said, the guy was just told he was detained, yet he moved around freely, and the officer didn't use force or anything, he was just being questioned about his motive, which he refused to answer to the officer.

and then hes just start flapping every amendment he can imagine would work for his benefit, to talk about the 5th he would need to go to trial or be actually arrested (which he didn't) AFAIK

he's just a jerk trying to get a reaction, and then go surprised-pikachu face when he gets the reaction he's getting

Tell me, how is inside the post office public property?

You clearly see the PO boxes and the inside of the office?




The first video in this thread didn't involve the inside of a Post Office.


That's your assumption. He elludes to the contrary.

There is no mention from him or the personnel that he ever entered the Post Office.

These people are lame and the system worked as it should. He knew he would provoke this exact reaction as he even stated. And on top of that he wore a holster to add to the 'Suspension' aspect of the fabricated scenario. Why wear an empty holster when taking innocent photos of a post office?

He was never detained as he continued progressing on his path, the officers used ZERO force to keep him from moving. They in fact walked with him and continued asking questions. He CHOSE to stop and engage law enforcement. They never searched him even after noticing the holster. And the police ultimately left without incident.

Ultimately this was a case of postal employees seeing what they thought to be questionable behavior and called the police. Well within their rights to do so. The police show up as the man expected, police ask questions as part of their job as it related to original call. Man refuses to answer questions. Police then determine guy is just another antagonist who only wanted to elicit a reaction and police leave the scene.

While I do believe everyone should understand their rights, I believe people like this actually hurt more than help. I tend to believe most of this comes from a place of entitlement and not responsibility.

And technically I guess he broke the rules of the Post Office as a self proclaimed professional.



"Professional Photographers and Film/TV Production Companies

People who request to take professional-grade photo­graphs or film on Postal Service premises must be referred to the Office of Rights and Permissions, and they will be required to sign a license and/or location agreement prior to taking any photographs or filming. Included in this cate­gory are documentary and student film-makers and photographers."

also they talk about the first amendment (I imagine freedom of press?) but that only deal with the spread of information, it has little to do with the way the information is gathered, so it doesn't apply, in the case of the thread is worse, the second amendment? why?

the whole detain vs arrest thing fall under the fourth amendment, but clearly the guy in the video is an idiot himself, only doing that for views.


And what about the fifth amendment? There’s no reason someone needs to be filming in a post office with peoples personal info on display.

well, it didn't really even get that far, like @Tartarus said, the guy was just told he was detained, yet he moved around freely, and the officer didn't use force or anything, he was just being questioned about his motive, which he refused to answer to the officer.

and then hes just start flapping every amendment he can imagine would work for his benefit, to talk about the 5th he would need to go to trial or be actually arrested (which he didn't) AFAIK

he's just a jerk trying to get a reaction, and then go surprised-pikachu face when he gets the reaction he's getting

I meant the 5th amendment of the post office employees, customers, their packages with names/address etc.

ah, my bad, with so many amendments being throw around I got confused lmao

but heck, I didn't even know there was a big list of "Conduct on postal property" that is very specific about filming and what not.

https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2008/html/pb22228/html/info_005.html

there's nothing to discuss in that particular case, the cop had all the right to detain him.

P.S what you mention about the names in the packages is in there too.


What reason was there to detain?

Photography is not a crime.

You get detained when you are suspected of a crime.

Detaining a citizen without reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime being committed or about to be committed is a violation of the 4th Amendment.

"Unlawful Detention, occurs when a police officer or other state actor, acts under the color of state law to deprive an individual of their Fourth Amendment Constitutional right to be free from illegal searches and seizures. In everyday speak, an unlawful detention occurs when a police officer detains you for an unreasonable amount of time without probable cause to do so. This “detention” does not necessarily mean an actual arrest. Unlawful detention may occur if an individual is detained for an unreasonable amount of time

A police officer doesn’t necessarily need to arrest or charge an individual for there to be an unlawful detention. Typically, if the individual reasonably believes they are not free to leave without fear of arrest then they are detained. This does not mean an officer may not confront an individual. Police officers may at all times confront an individual and ask them questions. This is known as a consensual encounter. An officer may also briefly detain an individual if they have reasonable suspicion supported by clearly articulated facts that a crime may be afoot. This kind of interaction with Police is called a Terry stop. A Terry stop which may become a full blown detention if it lasts for an unreasonable amount of time or if other factors such as handcuffing or detention make the brief detention feel more like a traditional arrest."

I would imagine the first video in its entirety is similar to this one.. I have a reasonable suspicion, anyway.



Tell me, how is inside the post office public property?

You clearly see the PO boxes and the inside of the office?




The first video in this thread didn't involve the inside of a Post Office.


That's your assumption. He elludes to the contrary.


There is no mention from him or the personnel that he ever entered the Post Office.

As for the video you posted..

http://postalnews.com/blog/2015/05/09/postal-myths-2-the-usps-is-not-a-government-agency/


8:45 of your video.

Are you saying government property = public property?




Ahh.. I see. Fair point.

As for your question..

https://nppa.org/sites/default/files/FPS-Photography-Bulletin-8-2-2010-redacted-1% 5B2% 5D-1.pdf

Post Offices are under the jurisdiction of FPS.

If he was just photographing the exterior while standing on the sidewalk I doubt there would be an issue at all. I just dont believe that's all that happened, and I think the video was deliberately cut so that it began at the confrontation he knew he would entice.

From your link..

"Photography and Filming for Personal Use

Informal snapshots from handheld cameras for personal use may be allowed at the postmaster’s discretion provided that there is no disruption to Postal Service operations and that the pictures are taken from areas accessible to the public. In these cases, no prior permis­sion is required from the Office of Rights and Permissions; however, no lighting or scaffolding may be set up, and no picture can depict any Postal Service employee, customer, security camera, or cover of mail (i.e., the exterior of a mail­piece, which would show customer name and address among other things). Postmasters may restrict any and all photography if they determine that it is disruptive or there are potential security concerns."

the quote say "In everyday speak, an unlawful detention occurs when a police officer detains you for an unreasonable amount of time without probable cause to do so"

there was no "unreasonable amount of time" involved, she was investigating the call she got, she had a reason, cuz the man was clearly violating postal office regulation, also she had reasonable suspicion that there could be some hidden agenda on why he was taking photos without asking consent with the office a priori.

P.S: before you post what I imagine come next

"Postmasters may restrict any and all photography if they determine that it is disruptive or there are potential security concerns"
