Cops Are NOT the Law!

Do be intimidated by their big black boots, or by their skin-tight uniforms, or their shiny guns. Cops are just people, like you and me, except with the ability to shoot their gun freely. They think they can do whatever they want, speeding through freeway traffic, and passing red lights with their loud sirens. They are NOT the law. It's time that people understand this and that people start to learn their rights.
Did you know that the cops can't search your house without a warrant? I hope you did, because a lot of people get scared when a cop comes knocking on their door asking if they can come in. Just say NO, NO Officer you CAN'T come in! It's your right! You don't have to let them in. My brother made the biggest mistake the other day when a couple of cops came to the house because of a disturbance call. My little brother, age 14, was intimidated by the cops and that fear caused him to allow the cops to search our house. Why did they need to search our house? There was no reason for that. But my brother, little and naive as he is, let them in. He didn't know that they needed a warrant to search the house. But once he said, yes, you may come in, they will come in. If you let them in, they will come in.
Makes me think what they're teaching kids in school today. My brother is 14 and he doesn't even know how the law works. If you live in the ghetto like me, then you should learn this stuff to protect yourself. You gotta know your rights. The law is limited. Don't let it take advantage of you. Learn your rights, learn their limits.
This was a free public service announcement. Thank you.

  1. Awesome Post. Very true. There are a lot of things people are not aware of when it comes to the law and you. Go in depth about The law when you get stopped by police on the street.
