Listen "Keep it Consensual!"
Episode Synopsis
Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.The 4th Amendment - which protects US citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government - has exceptions. One of these exceptions is CONSENT! Most police think of the 4th Amendment to apply to searches. Think also of seizures of persons.If you forcibly stop someone - blue lights, sirens, commands, handcuffs - you have seized their body. If they consent to speaking with you...you're good!Why in the world would they consent - agree - to speak with you if they are a 3x felon carrying a gun? A drug dealer carrying 9 ounces of Heroin? A child pornography producer with a hard drive in his backpack that will get him 30 to life?Listen to this episode to develop your understanding of the legality of a consensual stop. They did nothing wrong - no stop sign violation, no speeding, no nothing. However, you have a suspicion and you want to speak with them. This is the science.Continue listening to develop your art. How to transition from being a stranger danger in a uniform to building casual rapport. How to develop this casual rapport into a closer rapport. How to continue to build into a search and possibly an arrest.If you choose to rely on traffic violations and boneheads walking up the middle of the street, you will catch the low-hanging fruit. The easy ones. Listen to me, hone your skills on your own, and become a more effective LEO! Support the showPlease follow on FB and Substack at links below!
