The Power of Police and Rules for Encountering Them – Part 1, by APC
The overwhelming majority of Americans are law-abiding citizens, who more or less support the basic premise of police and what services they are supposed to be performing. In fact, even with the current buzz about law enforcement in general becoming too militarized (i.e. using military grade weapons and vehicles), Americans still respect the police, who are essentially there for all of our protection.
What most of us do not understand, however, is how to actually deal with police on their level. The average person has very little knowledge of what powers the police possess and an even smaller knowledge of what rules they need to play by, which are the questions that this guide will seek to answer.
First and foremost, let’s establish a set of ground rules, so we can better understand law enforcement and law enforcement contacts. With a myriad of federal, state, and municipal agencies, it is sometimes difficult to keep the rules straight as far as knowing which agency can do what, and how. Know this, however; federal law defines the vast majority of police contacts and rules in America, namely because the protections you enjoy as an American are derived from the Constitution of the United States. Additionally, many Supreme Court decisions have gone into the creation and maintenance of rules that govern police contact with the citizenry. Thus, we can make a pretty decent generalization that police contact with you, Joe American, will more or less follow the same set of rules, regardless of what state you happen to live in.
Are there exceptions? Absolutely. Some states have adopted stricter rules, which are not federal standards, in their interpretation of law enforcement contacts. As an example, some states have what is known as a “stop and identify clause”. What this means is that when asked by a law enforcement officer for identification (even as a non-motorist), it is illegal to refuse the officer ID. Other states do not have this provision in their state’s law books. It is outside of the scope of this guide to examine the nuances of all fifty states; instead, we will focus more on basic federal standards that apply to all states. Check the laws regarding the state in which you live!
INTERACTIONS WITH POLICE – THE BASICS
Consider that there are literally thousands of law enforcement agencies in the United States. Many of them wear uniforms with badges, even though they are not “police” in that sense of the word. Many of them also wear the moniker “POLICE” on raid jackets and other articles of clothing, even though their job is really not policing. In theory, every designated law enforcement officer is capable of making an arrest for a felony committed in their presence, and can even do so relating to a misdemeanor in some cases. In practice, many agencies will not touch crimes or infractions outside of their purview. As an example, the U.S. Postal Service maintains a uniformed force of “Postal Police” whose main job is to protect sensitive postal sites and offices.

I do love the propaganda and indoctrination bs! that’s all you’ve posted! OR Can you proffer any factual firsthand irrefutable evidence that their CONstitution and laws are applicable to the private man/woman just because of their physical location within a geographic area commonly called a state?
Remember, involuntary servitude and slavery are illegal, per their own laws!
Further; we private people are not parties to their CONstitution, nor are we signatories to their CONstitution, nor have the private people sworn an oath to be bound by and to obey their CONstitution and any promulgations arising from, of or by any alleged authority allegedly granted by their CONstitution, such as laws, statutes, codes, policies, etc!
Go on then, I dare you to provide factual, personal firsthand, irrefutable evidence that any of it applies to anyone!
Should you choose to accept the challenge to show your proof/evidence. You shall adhere to the following;
Your proof/evidence MUST be factual and personal first hand information, your proof/evidence shall not be comprised of hearsay, your opinions, someone else’s opinions, your beliefs, someone else’s beliefs, your feelings, someone else’s feelings, assumptions, presumptions, hypotheticals, conjecture, sophistry, fraud, lies, scenarios or what if’s.
Further; You shall not invoke laws, statutes, codes, etc, or their CONstitutions or any amendments to their CONstitutions, as that presupposes that it is applicable to the private man/woman, when that is what is in question in the first place!
And since you won’t be able to show any factual, personal firsthand, irrefutable evidence at all, I included the following!!
the maxim applies quod non apparet non est. The fact not appearing is presumed not to exist.
