16. When cops start searching they don't stop. They will bully you or beat you up. They will not listen to you.

17. Is silence considered consent? If the police ask to search your bag and you remain silent, if they search your bag is that a violation of the 4th Amendment? Also, when has a " search " officially occurred? If a police officer asks to search my bad and I say no but the officer attempts to look into my bag without ever touching the bag, is that a search?

25. Thank your for good sharing on the limits of police n our rights.Wow! Professional entrance. Honoured to be your 5th like n 110th subscriber.

26. Great video as always. Quick question. Let’s say I’m a passenger in a friends car and I have a briefcase with me. The police initiate a traffic stop. The driver consents to a search. I do not consent to a search of my person or my briefcase. Are they allowed to search anyway since the driver consented to a search of his vehicle? Thanks Mr. Gustitis.

27. you might remember me from the last video….. I've procured representation. it's a constitutional legal matter. we are going after unconstitutional p.d. policies. clearly it's going to take a couple years.

    this vid is very pertinent to my case. everyone needs to be aware of illegal searches and how officers will bully or lie to you to gain entry. everyone watching needs to read the very plain language of the 4th admendment.

    Great video!!! i look forward to more amendment videos
