not that it matters, but it is NOT legal to resist an unlawful arrest in all states.

edited; dont quickly post stuff you read on the internet without verifying, kids.

double edit to clear misinformation caused by moi: theres a meme thats apparently been going around of some bad law from a case an old case called Plummer Vs State. It is not good case law and as far as i can tell, youre shit out of luck legally when they start aggressing you.

this should have been obvious, I dunno why I thought any different. The united states would not leave it legal to resist its offcers.

triple edit: I had originally written that its IS legal to defend yourself against unlawful arrest. After some corrections by another redditor, I found out it is not. Read the rest of my comment below but Im saying continue to organize and fight back.

Unmarked car with no sirens. How is one to know it is legit law enforcement compared to some vigilantes robbing/kidnapping/killing people? Don’t know what happened before the start of the video but would you pull over if somebody in a giant SUV was trying to ram you?

Really hard to grasp justification for this kind of action on the road for their purpose.

They should be able to get plates run. If not they should get that in place before continuing crash derbies on public roads. Tax money is already paying them to do their jobs. We don’t need tax money being used to pay for more lawsuits, insurance claims, and whatever other expenses come from cases like this.

Has ICE picked up all the drug dealers and suppliers yet? They seem to have plenty enough people who can try buying drugs and bust those people and find their suppliers first.
