How to stay alive and survive after being stopped and harassed by the police ©iniar
after watching some documentaries and videos
i am going to share my thoughts about citizens interactions with police officers and how those occurrences have gone terribly wrong with those stops and harassments
we should not get into long conversations with police officers
we need to shut up and survive
shut up means stay calm and collected
the keys to survival are
tell yourself to shut up
this is a conversation inside your mind
not out loud
look at the officers eyes or face
This action will have many of effects. They are
- let the officers see you are a person not a suspect
- let the officer know you are paying attention again you are a person
- it will keep your emotions in this moment you do not need to be any other place but where you are
- your eyes will have an unspoken conversation with the officer
- this is a test all of your bad emotions will be tested
- do not fail
- to pass this this. get the a survive
scenario 1 is
when you see the police lights tell yourself shut up turn on the signal signal* then pull over and shut up
*if and this is a huge if… that if you can get your car registration insurance and drivers license while pulling over then do but if you cannot do not move have your hand in plain sight of the window and do did not move breathe and tell yourself shut up roll down the window
as the police walks to the car tell yourself be quiet and look at the officer eyes or face relax
if you have the papers and driver license put your hands and papers on the window have both hands in view by the window, look at a police officer and do not talk shut up the officer will take your information and may say hello or may ask you how was your day afternoon or evening
or may ask you do you know why I stopped you tell yourself to shut up pleasantly and calmly speak back saying hello tell yourself to shut up and again respond back calmly to the office Im good keep it simple and shut up
also keep your eyes on the officer let him see a person that will not harm him or her
important
keep your eyes on officers eyes or face. let them see a person that will not harm her or him
keep it simple
you want to survive
less is better

another
scenario is
if you were not able to get your license and papers tell yourself to shut up look at the officers eyes and face and listen for instructions stay calm
the officer may say hello and ask you do you know why i stopped you tell yourself to shut up and calmly and pleasantly say hello the officer may ask how was your day afternoon or evening as well as where have you been or where are you going tell yourself shut up and again respond back calmly to the officer im good and im coming from home or going to my house keep it simple
side note
before the officer approached your car they have already to look at your license plate information on the computer be smart and conscious
while you wait tell yourself shut up because the test will come when officer comes back to the car
ps
do not let the time the office is in the car upset you because there will be another part of the real test
do not become impatience
do not worry about the time
when the officer approaches the car again tell yourself to shut up then look at officer calmly and wait
at this point many things can happen stay calm and listen
if you are issued a ticket look at the officer and say thank you wait for the police officer go back to her or his car tell yourself shut up do not drive away in a rush put on your seat belt put your signal on and slowly merge and drive away
but
if the officer that tries to engage you into a conversation by asking you questions tell yourself be quiet and stay calm
your responses to all the questions are I am good thank you or im ok thank you
pay attention to your emotions because you may be asked to get out of the car or some of the commands
obey all commands period ©iniar
this is survival surviving this moment do not worry about your rights or your ego
stay calm do not ask why
just obey all the commands
make sure your demeanor and energy are calm make sure to look at the officer so that they see you are obeying and you are still a person a human being
you may want to continue to look at the officer and say ok to all commands and remember If you are asked how are you or how do you feel calmly say I am good or I am ok be sincere and truly mean your responses
this is survival
any mistreatment to you in your rights can be handled at a later time
think about this
you have not been arrested
you are trying not to be arrested
do not let your mouth or emotions or pride
anything for the that matter
make you jump into this trap
to get you to react in a way that that will get yourself arrested period
remember do not worry about time or where you need to be stay in this moment and listen and look
so you can go home
please
Survive!
once you have passed this part of the test quietly get into your car put on your seat belt turn on your left signal takes some deep breaths
slowly drive away
you have survived
you are alive
disclaimer the above advice is my experience with having police officer stopping me countless times the techniques have help me
hell I have
more confidence getting stopped by police in another country at least there you
get stopped because of greed here in united states you are stopped because of
hatred disrespect and control
also
this is not an indictment of the past reactions by anyone but we look at our future for systemic changes
we need to think about our fundamentals
we need to help ourselves and especial our children to cope and survive in THIS society
this bring to mind a passage from the I Have A Dream speech by Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
and it reads there are those who are asking the devotee of civil rights when will you be satisfied we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of unspeakable horrors of police brutality
that was 56 years ago and we are still in this gripe today ©iniar
