In the second part of the car incident if the officer had probable cause to search, the driver could have gotten in more trouble for lying to police about the drugs. I have a friend who’s dad is a cop and I know a few others. From what I know if an officer stopped a vehicle and the driver only opened the window an inch, locked the doors and closed the windows when they go out the cop would be more suspicious and then really get the dog to take a sniff. When the youths celebrate that they fooled the cop, it really is sending the wrong message. It is saying that is is OK to break the law as long as you get away with it.

While looking at their website the last showing of this clip was in late March with less than 50 people watching. Overall most people are not this paranoid, and could care less. This in just another fringe leftist group who thinks they are more pouplar than they really are.

I’m with you on this one. Danny Carlton has it right. The authors of this video of intentionally scripted a bad cop to trick the audience into being on the side of the kids.

I was only 4 minutes into it when I had that figured out. In fact, it made the rest of the video irritating to watch. There’s nothing more irritating than obvious propaganda posing as education.

Looks like jasontromm fell for it, hence his “can’t trust cops” “cops are like vampires” claptrap.

I’m all for educating young people on their constitutional rights. I’m not for prentending to do that while you actually teach them how to thumb your nose at this nation’s laws and get away with it.

Lucky for people like jasontromm, the police will still come to their rescue when they need it despite their slanderous attitudes.

Another irony is that those are the people who call the police the most.

Whatever your opinion of drug laws, you must agree that it is at least extremely poor judgment and more likely, given the track record of the ACLU and its allies, malfeasant for a national organization to encourage youth to break laws currently on the books and to glamorize drug-impaired driving. The laws are what they are and we have a democratic system in place — if you don’t like the laws, work to change them, until then, you have to follow them like everyone else.

If you go to the Flex Your Rights website, you’ll notice that most of the sponsors for the screenings of this production are pro-marijuana legalization groups and campus ACLU chapters. It’s quite apparent that this video wasn’t produced to promote any “higher” principle or to edcuate people about their “rights,” but to inform stoners how to “Stick it to the Man.”

Any group interested in educating its audience, if they felt it was ABSOLUTELY necessary to depict criminal activity in order to make its point, would present a disclaimer that discourages drug use and driving under the influence of those drugs, especially if the target audience is younger viewers. The makers of this video, had they been possessed of good intentions, could have, should have, depicted INNOCENT people subject to unfair treatment…not stoned speeders who in the real world would be jeopardizing the lives of everyone else on the road, who SHOULD be removed from the road.
