What to Do If They Show Up at Your Door
They will show you a paper that will not be a warrant. They will say ” If you cooperate now, we won’t have to come back later.” This is a veiled threat and intimidation to coerce you in a way that would be difficult to
prove in court. Once you give consent, you have given up all of your constitutional rights and they have free reign to investigate and interrogate till they get the result their office has ordered. There will be several people with open-carry firearms and body armor, they may be all talking at the same
time to you to wear you down. Always stay in an agreeable but questioning mode, and always answer their questions with your question. Your response… I would like to help you out, but I’m aware that I think you need a warrant! They have to tell You the truth. They will probably tell you that they will make sure You get a copy….. Which means they don’t have one present. And they will tell you it’s back at
the office..
….they don’t have one. I would like to help You out, but isn’t anything I share with you usable against me in a
court of law? They have to tell You the truth.
And you’re an agent of the government, is that correct? They have to tell You the truth Their response.. Yes, I am, „ so You took an oath of office to the Constitution, is that
correct???? Their response…. Yes, we do. So if I’m correct, that obligates You to assist me in keeping my rights, is that
correct??, well yes….. Excellent, I know You are very busy, with statutes, policy, and other things.. You stated that anything shared can be used against me in a court of law, and You are also an officer to help secure my rights. I would like to talk to You, I just need My counsel present, so can We make an appointment, and I can answer any questions you have.
Always leave them answering to you, You do not want to answer ANY of their questions. If they persist, remind them that they agreed three times that they have to protect your rights and that at this point they must leave or you will charge them with assault. Try to stay upbeat even when they try to pressure, you do not want to answer ANY of their questions. If they persist, remind them that they agreed three times that they have to protect your rights and that at this point they must leave or you will charge
What Do the Lawyers Say
Lawyers (Excellent)
The contrast between D’s and R’s that this guy offers is stark and explains a lot.
>>> As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered to be an indictment against my profession. But believe there is much truth to the article below. Very thought-provoking. Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win a cost. may work in litigation ou does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to win at any cost creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate.
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school. Although Gore did not graduate Joe Bien no surprise was at the bottom or his class
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since
976. except for Lovd Bentsen. went to law school. Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. si Chnion was a lawyer. Jonn Edwards was a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.
- >> The Republican Party is different, President Trump was a businessman, and Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen. Vice President Cheney was a businessman. President Eisenhower was a 5-star general. The leader of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, ran against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.
- >> The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump. Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people. who provide goods and services that people want. as the enemies of America. And so. in the eves of the Lawyers Party. we have seen the procession of official enemies grow. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers. last food restaurant chains. large retail businesses, bankers. and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.
>>> This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients. which. in this case should be the American people.
Lawyers seek to have new laws assessed they seek to win lawsuits. they press appellate courts to overturn precedent. and answers always parse language to favor their side. confined to the narrow practice of law that is fine, but this is an awful way to govern a great nation.
And when politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Amencans as clients and other Amencans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our lives becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties to our very government.
We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws. from courts, and from lawyers.
Today. we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once-private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court. the role of lawyers and the law in America is planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work, Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse. The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers! Tort or legal reform legislation has been introduced in Congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on ourselves and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democratic Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.
