Policing the Elite’s Technocracy: How Do We Resist This Effectively?
Global Research, April 15, 2023
***
As has been carefully documented, under cover of the ‘virus’/‘vaccine’ narrative, the Global Elite is implementing long-planned and profound changes to 200 areas of human life.
In essence, as documented elsewhere – see ‘We Are Being Smashed Politically, Economically, Medically and Technologically by the Elite’s “Great Reset”: Why? How Do We Fight Back Effectively?’ – this program will kill off a substantial proportion of humanity, imprison those left alive as transhuman slaves in their ‘smart cities’ subject to their fourth industrial revolution technologies (including 5G, digital ID, CBDCs, geofencing, AI policing & a robotized workforce), enclose the Commons forever and transfer all wealth to Elite hands.
Needless to say, with some people already resisting and more people likely to perceive the truth of what is happening and join the resistance with the passage of time, policing the imposition of this program will be a critical factor in ensuring its success.
As indicated then, just one area in which profound change will take place is policing.
Future policing will be done by a smaller number of militarily-equipped police, transhuman police and technocratic police supported by corporate private security technology.
In this article, I will briefly outline the key changes to policing, in these three distinct categories, and also explain why these changes must be resisted and how we can do this most effectively.
Fewer and Militarized Police
Reflecting a longer term trend, in 2019 the International Association of Chiefs of Police reported that ‘Law enforcement agencies across the United States are struggling to recruit and hire police officers.’ While police killings of innocent civilians – see ‘Mapping Police Violence’ and ‘Not just “a few bad apples”: U.S. police kill civilians at much higher rates than other countries’ – failed to rate a mention in the report, it did at least acknowledge ‘Scrutiny of the police, cellphone recordings of interactions between the police and public, media coverage, and popular entertainment portrayals of police have led many young people to view police differently than their parents may have.’ See ‘The State of Recruitment: A Crisis for Law Enforcement’.
In late 2021, two years into policing the pandemic, US police reported a substantially increased rate of retirement and resignation among police officers, with more than five times as many police leaving the New York Police Department in 2021 as left in 2020. According to the report: ‘In the wake of a spasmodic year of protests and pandemic, plus an aftermath of violent crime, the profession may be fast approaching a generational and possibly historic reckoning.’ See ‘Law enforcement faces unprecedented challenges in hiring and keeping recruits’.
On the other side of the world, where the Victoria Police had suffered an image-battering following their violent policing of protests against Covid-19 lockdown measures – see ‘Australia: Harsh Police Response During Covid-19’ – the situation was the same: ‘Victoria Police is facing a staffing crisis with an extra 1500 frontline officers needed, secret modelling has warned.’ See ‘Secret Report Reveals Victoria Police Facing a Staffing Crisis’.
Of course other police forces around the world suffered image batterings in response to their violent response to those protesting ‘pandemic’ lockdowns and other restrictions. See, for example, ‘Serbia: Violent police crackdown against COVID-19 lockdown protesters must stop’.
But on top of long-standing issues in relation to police numbers exacerbated by political direction of policing behaviour while enforcing ‘pandemic’ lockdown measures, it is clear that the number of serving police has been reduced throughout the past three years by using two additional mechanisms: In many places, forcing those who resisted the ‘kill shot’ to resign from service – see, for example, ‘Victoria Police facing exodus due to draconian Covid rules’ – and, everywhere, by killing off a proportion of the police who were mandated to take the shot (which will continue to have impact in the years ahead).
Apart from this, the damaged reputation police suffered as a result of their role in enforcing the Elite program against those people willing to nonviolently protest the violation of their constitutional and human rights, has meant that the conscience-based resignation rate of police has risen – see, for example, ‘Conscientious Resignation of Police Officer in Australia’ – while recruitment has suffered in many places.
Separately from this, other resignations and retirements have probably occurred following official interference to thwart conscientious police officers asked or attempting to investigate deaths from Covid-19 injections – see one initiative by New Zealand doctors to have the issue investigated (‘Deaths Following C-19 Vaccination’) which ran into government obstruction (‘Jacinda Ardern Left Reeling As New Zealand Police Look at Investigating COVID Jab Deaths’) and a Canadian officer punished for conducting an investigation (‘Ottawa police officer charged for examining COVID-19 vaccine deaths’). Of course, any attempts to expose injection deaths among police colleagues have no doubt been ‘discouraged’ despite evidence of their occurrence.
In any case, two critical questions to ask are these: Were government policies that led to police violence during the pandemic designed to provoke public anger and induce police retirements and resignations as ways of reducing police numbers easily? And was official interference in police decisions about whether or not to investigate injection deaths partly designed to disenchant conscientious officers and induce further resignation/retirements?
Why would governments do this? Could it be part of a plan to facilitate the transformation of how policing is conducted? After all, the World Economic Forum has been clear about the Elite intention to robotize the workforce, with more than half of human workers projected to be replaced by robots within a few years.
So why should we expect police to be forced out of the workforce, one way or another, at a lesser rate than elsewhere?
Moreover, there is an additional problem: Any human police officer with a reasonably ‘normal’ psychological profile has a conscience. And these will not serve well in enforcing the coming technocratic order.
Separately from the numbers issue, the ongoing militarization of police forces around the world has been noted by many scholars. For a summary of some issues in relation to policing in the USA, see this article written in 2017: ‘Why are Police in the USA so Terrified?’
But it is clear that the trend to militarize policing has been accelerating for some years. In a recent article US constitutional attorney John Whitehead succinctly elaborates this trend as just one of the features to be expected from the US government in 2023:
‘Militarized police. Having transformed local law enforcement into extensions of the military, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the FBI are moving into the next phase of the transformation, turning the nation’s police officers into techno-warriors, complete with iris scanners, body scanners, thermal imaging Doppler radar devices, facial recognition programs, license plate readers, cell phone extraction software, Stingray devices and so much more.’ See ‘What to Expect from the Government in 2023? More of the Same’ and ‘Stingray Tracking Devices: Who’s Got Them?’
So police numbers are being reduced and police are being militarized. But that is not all.
Transhuman Police
A critical component of the Elite program is to turn those not killed into transhuman slaves.
What is transhumanism?
In essence: Transhumanism is a set of beliefs based on the premise that human beings can be improved by genetic manipulation and/or implanting technologies into the brain and body to achieve enhanced capacities.
See ‘Beware the Transhumanists: How “Being Human” is being Re-engineered by the Elite’s Covid-19 Coup’.
While many people involved in this field are concerned with treating disabilities to improve the life experience of those afflicted, and some are engaged in ongoing discussions to consider the ethical issues this raises, it is clear that this is the sanitized version of a program that has far more hideous implications. For a sanitized version, watch this video of a World Economic Forum discussion held on 24 January 2020: ‘When Humans Become Cyborgs’.
But, for the Elite, there is little point deploying these technologies unless they can be controlled by Elite agents. After all, as the World Economic Forum made clear in 2016, by 2030 ‘You’ll Own Nothing. And You’ll Be Happy.’
See ‘8 predictions for the world in 2030’.
Obviously, if you are to own nothing and be happy about it, either you have reached some exalted state of human consciousness in which possessions no longer matter or someone is messing with your mind so that you believe what is not true.
And the best way to mess with someone’s mind is to implant a microchip into their body that enables control of that mind by someone else.
After all, altering what people think, feel, believe and do – through genetic manipulation and implanting technologies – is the very essence of transhumanism. So, to reiterate, transhumanists don’t want individuals with free will, they want individuals whose thoughts, feelings and behaviour can be controlled; that is, they want slaves. While this is explained at some length in the article ‘Beware the Transhumanists’ above, it is also made emphatically clear by World Economic Forum spokesperson, Professor Yuval Noah Harrari, in a 3-minute video which includes these words:
COVID is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance.
We now see mass surveillance systems established, even in democratic countries which previously rejected them, and we also see a change in the nature of surveillance. Previously, surveillance was mainly above the skin, now it’s going under the skin….
… free will: That’s over. Watch ‘Mr. Harari has just revealed the Reason for the Plandemic’.
You can also watch a video demonstration of Elon Musk’s neuralink chip illustrating how this will work. Watch ‘This Is How Elon Musk’s Neuralink Microchip Will Be Put In Your Brain’.
In summary then, the technology now available after decades of effort enables receiver nanochips to be sprayed, injected or otherwise implanted into human bodies. With the ongoing deployment of 5G (which includes extensive space and ground-based technologies: see ‘Deadly Rainbow: Will 5G Precipitate the Extinction of All Life on Earth?’), just one outcome of these combined technologies is that it will be possible to direct the individual behaviour of each person so implanted with directions from an external source.
You can watch a description of how the Covid-19 shots have been used to inject nanotechnology into the bodies of people which, under the direction of other individuals via EMF signals, can be assembled to establish a permanent communication and control link between the transhuman and those responsible for controlling it. Watch Maria Zeee’s interview of Dr. David Nixon who shows real time video footage of the nanotechnology inside the Covid-19 injections assembling robotic arms that guide the nanotechnology development:
‘World First: Robotic Arms Assembling Via Nanotech Inside COVID-19 “Vaccines” – Filmed in Real Time’.
There is another excellent video interview by Dr. Faiez Kirsten of Dr. Ana Mihalcea discussing the transhumanist agenda. This includes consideration of how geoengineering – by spraying metal particulates (such as aluminium, barium and strontium) and synthetic biology into the atmosphere – is being used to modify all life on this planet (‘to modify every cell, every microbe, to digitize it and then to fuse it in its natural state with synthetic biology’), the role of electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) such as 5G in this scheme, and the purpose of nanotechnology ingredients in the injections. In essence, they conclude, besides killing vast numbers of people, they want to control the minds of those left alive. In summarizing, Mihalcea emphasised that her research demonstrates that the unvaccinated are not safe and they must take further action to defend their health from the synthetic biology attacks through atmospheric geoengineering and contaminated food.
‘We are running out of time as the human species and our planet is being destroyed via synthetic biology. If you want to survive and you want your children and grandchildren to have a chance of survival you must rise now and you must fight.’ Watch ‘A Discussion with Dr Ana Mihalcea on Transhumanism and EDTA Chelation’.
Moreover, given that the control technology of its transhuman slaves will be owned by corporate executives, this means that the Elite will be able to control everything from the launch of nuclear weapons (by using remote control to direct the chosen individual in a particular chain of command to order [or execute] the launch of one or more nuclear weapons at the target[s] nominated at the time[s] specified), deploy ‘cyborg soldiers’, ‘cyborg workers’ and ‘cyborg consumers’ to do as directed and, of course, ‘cyborg police’ to carry out the orders issued by those controlling the command technology.
In the case of transhuman police, this could range from duties resembling those now performed by police to any other task whatsoever to which they are assigned. And because the implanted chip will override free will, the transhuman individual will have no awareness of choice and will simply robotically perform the tasks delivered by an artificial intelligence program to the technological implants in its body and brain.
So whether programmed to issue a fine, kill a noncompliant individual, forcibly relocate one or more people from a rural area to the nearest ‘smart city’ or simply go home, the cyborg police officer will do as directed without thought or feeling of its own.
Technocratic Police and Corporate Private Security
In 2016, the World Bank published a report considering some of the consequences of robotization, including the problems that would be caused and how these might, theoretically, be addressed.
See ‘The rise of the machines: Economic and social consequences of robotization’ with a summary here: ‘The economic and social consequences of robotization’.
Despite one highly sanitized World Economic Forum account of robots leading to an increased workforce – see ‘Here’s why robots are actually going to increase human employment’ – another World Economic Forum report candidly noted that inequality would worsen as ‘robots will do half of all work tasks by 2025’. See
‘The Future of Jobs Report 2020’ and
‘WEF: Inequality likely to worsen as robots set to do half of work by 2025’.
And this is clearly evident in relation to police work where, beyond even the measures outlined above, a substantial range of new technologies will robotize policing, particularly in relation to primary functions: surveillance and control.
In essence, an increasing number of policing functions are being technologized to make policing more ruthlessly efficient. This involves use of a range of technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Bodies (IoB), the Internet of Places (IoP), artificial intelligence (AI), geofencing, digital identity, surveillance and facial recognition (3D) cameras, smart street poles and lights (which gather data via facial recognition cameras and environmental sensors, display digital signage and use speakers to instruct the immediate population how to behave), license plate readers and vehicle kill switches as well as autonomous and electromagnetic weapons.
But how these technologies are combined and deployed varies. To illustrate this, consider the Israeli private security company Gabriel Protects which offers a suite of surveillance and control services: ‘Preempt and contain physical threats in real time with smart technology. Billions are spent monitoring and recording security incidents. Gabriel detects and responds to them. Gabriel’s next generation security technology instantly detects and automates the response to violent threats, saving precious time and lives.’
As Whitney Webb explains: ‘much of the company’s future vision coincides with the vision of the intelligence agencies backing it – pre-crime, robotic policing and biometric surveillance.’ Hence, under the guise of stopping mass shootings ‘a surveillance system backed by top Mossad, CIA and FBI officials is being installed in schools, houses of worship, and other civilian locations’ throughout the USA. The Gabriel system includes the company’s ‘threat detection’ technology, which involves the use of ‘smart cameras’ that use AI as well as facial recognition and related technologies to detect weapons, ‘fights’ and ‘abnormal behavior’ in a particular area. The cameras throughout a facility, along with ‘smart shield’ panic buttons which can be activated both manually and remotely, are meant to act as ‘activation triggers’, with the triggering largely automated and managed by AI. When a trigger is set off, the Gabriel system enters the appropriate ‘alert mode’, which includes emergency, panic, silent panic and yellow (for minor incidents). Once activated, the panic button offers two-way communication, a live video feed and gunshot detection by acoustic means.
See ‘CIA and Mossad-linked Surveillance System Quietly Being Installed Throughout the US’ and ‘Anonymous Philanthropist Gifts Israeli Life-Saving Tech to 500 US Synagogues and Schools’.
As one would expect, given the company is providing technologies that enable implementation of the Elite program to lock us all into their ‘smart cities’, Gabriel intends to expand far beyond schools and houses of worship to retail stores, warehouses, data centers and banks and is already heavily reliant on AI and machine learning while using drones and robots as security tools. Beyond this, it intends to develop predictive policing (‘pre-crime’) capabilities. See ‘Incident Response Solutions’ and ‘Disrupting Legacy Security’.
Of course, ‘pre-crime’ protocols are designed to ‘eliminate public dissent’. See ‘CIA and Mossad-linked Surveillance System Quietly Being Installed Throughout the US’.
Gabriel is not the only corporation researching and providing technologies in these fields. Another prominent corporation is Palantir Technologies. There are others.
Needless to say, these corporations have close ties to the academy, the military and the intelligence community as well, all of which are also playing key roles in imposing the Elite program.
Obviously, these surveillance and control technologies are being widely deployed around the world with countries like China, Israel (including in Palestine) and the United States leading the way.
But to highlight precisely where this is headed, technocratic policing will include drones (used as aerial police) and robots equipped with electromagnetic weapons, such as those that tech guru Aman Jabbi calls ‘puke guns’ (to make the target individual vomit).
See ‘Digitizing Your Identity is the Fast-Track to Slavery: How Can You Defend Your Freedom?’
And if you would like a taste of where this might go, see ‘Psychotronic and Electromagnetic Weapons: Remote Control of the Human Nervous System’.
Beyond this, police robots are being used to deploy chemical weapons – see ‘Special delivery: Using police robots to deploy chemical agents’ – and fire tasers.
See ‘TASER-armed robots keep police out of harm’s way’.
But ‘explosive ordnance disposal robots’ have been used offensively since 1993 when a one-metre tall, 218-kilogram remote-controlled robot was sent into an apartment, used a television camera to locate a suspect hidden in a cupboard and then, under the remote-control direction of a technician, used a high-pressure water gun to knock the shotgun out of the suspected gunman’s hands, enabling the county police department’s version of a SWAT team to arrest him.
More dramatically, a police ‘killer robot’ has already been used to kill a suspected gunman. In 2016, police in Dallas in the USA crudely attached a bomb to a robot originally designed to investigate and safely discharge explosives and then deployed it near a suspect where it was detonated remotely.
See ‘How the Dallas Police Used an Improvised Killer Robot to Take Down the Gunman’.
Other police forces are considering using robots to kill suspects.
See, for example, ‘Oakland Cops Hope to Arm Robots with Lethal Shotguns’.
But the San Francisco Police Department has already developed a protocol for its use of robots to kill people: ‘Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers are imminent and outweigh any other force option available to SFPD.’
See ‘Law Enforcement Equipment Policy: Inventory Acquired Prior to January 2022’ and ‘SFPD authorized to kill suspects using robots in draft policy’.
The fundamental point is that human police officers are being replaced by a series of technologies guided by artificial intelligence and ending with the use of autonomous weapons systems (AWS).
And these technologies are already being widely deployed and used as part of the ongoing Elite program to build a technocratic state that will subvert human identity, privacy, dignity, volition and freedom.
How Can We Resist this Technocratic Policing Model Effectively?
A long-planned, vast range and parallel sequence of measures is being rapidly implemented to capture political, social, economic, medical and technological control of the human population. The intention is to kill off a substantial proportion of humanity and imprison those left alive as transhuman slaves in the Elite’s technocratic (surveillance and control) ‘smart’ cities, which will be policed by a range of current and emerging technologies.
And, as I have explained previously – see ‘We Are Being Smashed Politically, Economically, Medically and Technologically by the Elite’s ‘Great Reset’: Why? How Do We Fight Back Effectively?’ – because the Global Elite controls conventional political, economic, financial, technological, medical, educational, media and other important levers of society, the Elite has control of how events unfold while simultaneously giving it control of the narrative about what is taking place. As a result, the truth about the Elite plan is easily concealed. Consequently, effective resistance to this complex and sophisticated program requires a response based on a full understanding of the Elite’s deeper agenda and that is equally sophisticated.
This means that we cannot rely on any conventional channel, political, legal or otherwise.
Hence, the most effective defence against any aspect, including the technocratic policing model, of the full program that Elite agents in the World Economic Forum and elsewhere are imposing on us is to take action now that prevents foundational components of their program from being put into place.
Obviously, this requires us to clearly identify the foundations on which the Elite program is being built and to then mobilize as many people as possible, in as many countries as possible, to nonviolently noncooperate with the building of these foundations or, to the extent they exist already, to disrupt them so that they cannot function effectively.
And the time to do this is now.
If we do this effectively, the technologies – including 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital ID, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), geofencing, a plethora of ‘Smart’ devices, and the surveillance and facial recognition cameras – that will make the technocratic policing model possible will be stopped before they are fully deployed.
So if you are interested in being strategic in your resistance to the ‘Great Reset’ and its related agendas, you are welcome to participate in the ‘We Are Human, We Are Free’ campaign which identifies a list of 30 strategic goals for doing so.
One of these strategic goals reads as follows:
‘To cause the police and security personnel to resist the introduction and use of those surveillance and control technologies – including (among many others) 5G, 6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), geofencing, smart street poles and lights (which gather data via facial recognition cameras and environmental sensors, display digital signage and use speakers to instruct the immediate population how to behave), digital identity, surveillance and facial recognition cameras, license plate readers, vehicle kill switches, drones (used as aerial police), robots (including as a ‘deadly force option’), autonomous and electromagnetic weapons – that are being used to transform policing to collect your data and control your behaviour as part of the ongoing Elite program to build a technocratic prison that will subvert human identity, human dignity, human volition, human privacy and/or human freedom.’
So one vital role that you can play is to talk to individual police officers that you know personally, inform them of the role they are slated to play in the coming technocratic order, and invite them to consider the implications of this for them and their loved ones, and then listen to them as they talk about it.
And you can visit your local police station or write them a letter to raise awareness of what is happening and ask them to consider whether this is a future they wish for themselves or their family.
In addition, you can download the ‘We Are Human, We Are Free’ one-page flyer that identifies a short series of crucial nonviolent actions that anyone can take. This flyer, now available in 23 languages (Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Slovak and Turkish) with several more languages in the pipeline, can be downloaded from here: ‘One-page Flyer’.
Moreover, if this strategic resistance to the ‘Great Reset’ (and related agendas) appeals to you, consider joining the ‘We Are Human, We Are Free’ Telegram group (with a link accessible from the website).
And if you want to organize a mass mobilization, such as a rally, at least make sure that one or more of any team of organizers and/or speakers is responsible for inviting people to participate in this campaign and that some people at the event are designated to hand out the one-page flyer about the campaign.
Ideally, prior to any such event, a liaison team should visit the police responsible for policing the event to discuss it but also raise awareness of how police are being used by the Elite in this context. See ‘Nonviolent Activism and the Police’and ‘How To Do Police Liaison’.
At this point too, it is worth keeping in mind that in virtually all contexts, including when dealing with police, it is invaluable to listen, deeply. This should help you understand the other person better and might help open a door to greater awareness on their part in the future. In any case, it is a great gift, whatever its immediate outcome. See ‘Nisteling: The Art of Deep Listening’.
If you like, you can also watch, share and/or organize to show, a short video about the campaign here: ‘We Are Human, We Are Free’ video.
In parallel with our resistance, we must create the political, economic and social structures that serve our needs, not those of the Elite. That is why long-standing efforts to encourage and support people to grow their own biodynamic/organic food – see ‘23 Reasons You Should Start a Garden in 2023’ – participate in local trading schemes (involving the exchange of knowledge, skills, services and products with or without a local medium of exchange), such as Local Exchange Trading Systems and Community Exchange Systems, as well as develop structures for cooperation, governance, nonviolent defence and networking with other communities are so important.
Conclusion
To summarize very simply: human police officers are being militarily-equipped in the short term, to be rapidly replaced by transhuman police as well as ‘technocratic police’: artificial intelligence (AI) that will direct policing and involve transhuman police, drones, robots and autonomous & electromagnetic weapons systems (AWS). This is one small but vital part of the comprehensive Elite program to kill off most of us, enslave those left alive, enclose the Commons forever and capture all wealth.
Hence, one valuable function we can perform is to inform police of this and invite them to resist it.
Of course, it is not a message that will resonate with every police officer or every member of the community, for that matter. As you already know.
Many human beings, including police officers, are badly emotionally-damaged people. See ‘Why Violence?’ and ‘Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice’.
But it is crucial that we keep telling the truth and giving people chances to perceive the deeper Elite program and what it portends for humanity. Because it is not a future any human being, including police officer, should want to embrace if they value human identity, privacy, dignity, volition and freedom for themselves or their children.
Hence, our persistence in presenting the information, while listening well when appropriate, is crucial to mobilizing the resistance we need to succeed.

Know Your Rights: A Guide to Consciously Resisting Non-Consensual Police Encounters
April 17, 2023
As conscious resisters, we understand that the State operates under a different set of rules than our own. However, to protect our existing freedoms and ensure that the State adheres to their own dogma, it is important to understand the laws that govern our interactions with law enforcement officials.
In this article, we will cover several important topics related to our rights and interactions with law enforcement officials. These include understanding our rights, reasonable compliance, probable cause and reasonable suspicion, color of law, color of office, and conspiracy against rights.
It is important to note that these topics are not exhaustive and laws can vary by state and even by city. However, by having a basic understanding of these topics, we can better protect ourselves and assert our rights when interacting with law enforcement officials.
We hope that this article serves as a helpful resource for agorists and others who value their freedom and understand the importance of protecting their rights.
Understanding your Rights:
Whether you are a U.S. citizen or a visitor to the country, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with your rights and learn how to use them effectively to protect yourself in any situation.
The Constitution and laws of the United States protect several important rights, including the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to due process of law, the right to equal protection under the law, and the right to freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. By consciously resisting non-consensual police encounters, you can exercise and assert your rights peacefully and non-aggressively, and stay safe in most situations.
These six rights are particularly relevant to police encounters and protecting oneself from unreasonable searches, self-incrimination, and other violations of one’s civil liberties. They are:
First Amendment: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and the press.
Fourth Amendment: protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Fifth Amendment: protection against self-incrimination and double jeopardy.
Sixth Amendment: right to a fair and speedy trial, impartial jury, and the right to counsel.
Eighth Amendment: protection against excessive bail and fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.
Fourteenth Amendment: protection of due process and equal protection under the law.
However, these rights will not work for you unless you assert and exercise them. It is your responsibility to protect your civil liberties.
When interacting with officials or agents, it is generally recommended that you do not interact with them beyond giving reasonable compliance. However, blindly complying with unjust demands can lead to a dangerous standard of people complying with the authorities. In fact, the majority of people who interact with the police do not know how to or do not assert their rights. This sets a standard for law enforcement to assume that something is wrong if you assert your rights. Therefore, it is important to know your rights and how to assert them without escalating the situation.
Reasonable Compliance During Police Encounters:
During police encounters, it is essential to strike a balance between asserting your rights and complying with reasonable requests made by law enforcement officers. Reasonable compliance means cooperating with officers in a manner that does not jeopardize your rights or safety. This involves providing basic information, such as your name and address, when required by law, but not answering questions that could incriminate you or consenting to searches without probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
Reasonable compliance also involves maintaining a calm and respectful demeanor during interactions with law enforcement officers. While it is important to assert your rights, doing so in an aggressive or confrontational manner may escalate the situation and put you at risk. Remaining calm and composed can help ensure a more favorable outcome during a police encounter.
To comply reasonably, it is important to understand the distinction between lawful and unlawful requests made by law enforcement officers. For example, if an officer asks you to step out of your vehicle during a traffic stop, it is generally considered a lawful request, and you should comply. However, if the officer then asks to search your vehicle without probable cause, you have the right to refuse.
In some situations, refusing to comply with an unlawful request may lead to temporary detainment or arrest. However, it is important to remember that asserting your rights may ultimately protect you from false charges or violations of your civil liberties. If you are arrested or detained after refusing an unlawful request, it is crucial to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
Reasonable compliance means cooperating with law enforcement officers within the boundaries of your rights and the law. By understanding when to assert your rights and when to comply, you can navigate police encounters more effectively and protect your civil liberties.
Understanding Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion:
Probable cause and reasonable suspicion are two legal concepts that are important to understand when dealing with law enforcement officials. In this section, we will discuss the definitions of these concepts and how they apply to police encounters.
Probable cause is a legal standard that refers to the level of evidence required for a law enforcement official to conduct a search, make an arrest, or obtain a warrant. Probable cause means that the officer has a reasonable belief, based on facts and circumstances, that a crime has been or is being committed, and that the person being searched or arrested is connected to that crime. This standard must be met before an officer can conduct a search or make an arrest without a warrant.
Reasonable suspicion, on the other hand, is a lower legal standard that allows law enforcement officials to briefly detain and investigate a person if they have reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. Reasonable suspicion requires less evidence than probable cause and is often used by officers during traffic stops, pedestrian stops, or other similar situations.
It is important to note that reasonable suspicion and probable cause are not the same thing, and an officer cannot conduct a search or make an arrest based solely on reasonable suspicion. Instead, reasonable suspicion may lead to probable cause if additional evidence is discovered during an investigation.
During a police encounter, it is important to understand the concept of probable cause and reasonable suspicion to protect your rights and assert them effectively. If an officer conducts a search or makes an arrest without probable cause, any evidence obtained during the search or arrest will be inadmissible in court.
It is also important to note that the determination of whether or not probable cause or reasonable suspicion exists is made on a case-by-case basis, and is subject to interpretation by judges and other legal authorities.
Understanding probable cause and reasonable suspicion is crucial when dealing with law enforcement officials. By knowing your rights and asserting them effectively, you can protect yourself from unlawful or unjust actions by officers. Remember to stay calm, be respectful during any police encounter.
Some examples of officials violating Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion:
The Smell of Pot:
Several federal circuit court rulings have established that the smell of marijuana alone is not sufficient justification for a search. These rulings include the Ninth Circuit’s Catz v. Barstow decision, the Seventh Circuit’s United States v. Sutter, the Tenth Circuit’s United States v. McKnight, the Second Circuit’s United States v. Howard, and the D.C. Circuit’s United States v. Pope.Collectively, these rulings apply to all states within the respective federal judicial circuits in which the cases were decided. For instance, the Ninth Circuit’s ruling covers Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, while the Seventh Circuit’s ruling applies to Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The Tenth Circuit’s ruling pertains to Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. The Second Circuit’s ruling applies to Connecticut, New York, and Vermont, and the D.C. Circuit’s ruling covers the District of Columbia.
It is important to note that while these rulings provide important protections for individuals against unwarranted searches, they do not mean that individuals can freely possess marijuana in all states. Marijuana laws vary widely across states and municipalities, and it is essential to understand the specific laws in one’s jurisdiction.
It is important for individuals to be aware of their rights when it comes to searches, including the fact that they have the right to refuse a search if the officer does not have a warrant or probable cause. If a search is conducted without a warrant or probable cause, any evidence obtained during that search will be inadmissible in court.
Ultimately, understanding the law and one’s rights is essential to protecting oneself during police encounters, particularly in cases where the smell of marijuana may be used as a pretext for an unwarranted search.
Consent Legalities and Sobriety Testing at DUI Checkpoints:
The legalities of refusing sobriety tests at DUI checkpoints can vary depending on the state, and it’s important to know the laws in your state to understand your rights and potential legal consequences. In some states, such as Florida and Minnesota, refusing to take a breathalyzer test at a DUI checkpoint can result in automatic license suspension for up to a year. In other states, such as Georgia and Ohio, refusing a sobriety test at a DUI checkpoint can result in additional criminal charges on top of a DUI charge. However, in all states, officers must have probable cause and reasonable suspicion before administering sobriety tests, and individuals have the right to refuse sobriety tests without facing additional legal consequences if there is no probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
It is important to note that sobriety tests administered at DUI checkpoints, including field sobriety tests, are subjective and can be influenced by a variety of factors. If you are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, refusing sobriety tests may protect you from false arrests and the legal complications that follow. However, refusing sobriety tests may result in additional legal consequences, such as license suspension or arrest, depending on the laws of your state. If you are asked to submit to sobriety tests at a DUI checkpoint and it is a fact that you are not under the influence, it is important to assert your rights and to understand the legalities surrounding sobriety testing.
There are also states where sobriety tests cannot be forced without consent, even at DUI checkpoints. In these states, officers are required to have probable cause and reasonable suspicion before administering sobriety tests, and individuals have the right to refuse sobriety tests without facing additional legal consequences. For example, in states like Arizona and Michigan, sobriety tests at DUI checkpoints cannot be forced without consent, and individuals have the right to refuse them. It is important to know the laws in your state regarding sobriety testing and refusal at DUI checkpoints to understand your rights and potential legal consequences.
It is also important to understand that sobriety tests administered at DUI checkpoints are not foolproof, and false positives can occur. Factors such as weather conditions, physical disabilities, and even certain medical conditions can influence the results of sobriety tests. If you believe that you were falsely arrested for DUI, it is possible to fight the charges without a lawyer, but it can be difficult. You may need to gather evidence, such as video footage or witness statements, to prove that you were not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is also important to understand the overlap between probable cause and reasonable suspicion in regards to these tests, and how to assert your rights if you believe that they were violated.
Border Patrol and Agricultural Checkpoints:
Border Patrol and Agricultural Checkpoints have long been a source of controversy and concern among civil rights advocates. These checkpoints are often set up within 100 miles of the border and are used to search vehicles and individuals for evidence of illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and other criminal activities.
However, many argue that these checkpoints violate the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has ruled that immigration checkpoints must be conducted in a way that minimizes intrusiveness, and that officers must have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to search individuals or their vehicles.
Despite these protections, many individuals have reported experiencing unreasonable searches, racial profiling, and other civil rights violations at Border Patrol and Agricultural Checkpoints. As a result, some civil rights advocates have called for resistance to these checkpoints and for individuals to assert their rights when faced with searches and seizures.
It is important for individuals to know their rights and to understand the legality of Border Patrol and Agricultural Checkpoints. While these checkpoints can be intimidating, individuals have the right to refuse searches without probable cause or reasonable suspicion. If you are faced with a search at a checkpoint, you have the right to remain silent and to assert your Fourth Amendment rights.
It is also important to note that while resistance to unjust and unconstitutional searches is a fundamental right, it should be done in a safe and lawful manner. It is important to stay calm and respectful when interacting with law enforcement officers, while also standing firm in protecting your civil liberties and asserting your rights.
Color of Law & Color of Office:
Color of Law and Color of Office are two related concepts that address the abuse of power or authority by public officials. Understanding these concepts is essential when asserting your rights during encounters with law enforcement and other public officials.
Color of Law: Color of Law specifically applies to law enforcement officials who exceed their legal authority or engage in illegal or unethical behavior. When officers act outside the law or use their power to discriminate against individuals based on race, ethnicity, or other protected statuses, they are acting under the Color of Law, and this constitutes a violation of civil rights.
Color of Office: Color of Office refers to any public official who oversteps their legal authority or participates in illegal or unethical conduct. This includes discriminatory behavior, such as denying services to certain individuals or groups based on race or ethnicity. Such behavior not only infringes on the rights of individuals but also undermines the principles of fairness and equality that are fundamental to society.
Asserting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or other public officials requires a clear understanding of your rights and the appropriate response when those rights are violated. Being aware of the concepts of Color of Law and Color of Office is crucial in recognizing when a law enforcement or public official is acting beyond their legal authority.
If you believe you have experienced a violation of your civil rights under the Color of Law or Color of Office, seeking legal assistance is essential. A civil rights attorney can help you comprehend your rights, gather evidence to support your case, and hold the responsible public officials accountable for their actions.
It is vital to report any instance of Color of Law or Color of Office to the proper authorities, such as internal affairs or the Department of Justice. However, keep in mind that some agencies responsible for investigating civil rights violations by law enforcement officials, like the FBI, have been implicated in such violations themselves. In these cases, pursuing legal action through the courts may be a more effective option than reporting the violation to an agency with a history of violations.
Conspiracy Against Rights:
Conspiracy Against Rights is a federal crime that involves individuals conspiring to deprive someone of their constitutional rights. This includes the right to free speech, the right to assemble, and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. Under 18 U.S.C. § 241, it is illegal for two or more people to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the exercise or enjoyment of any constitutional right or privilege.
In the context of police encounters, conspiracy against rights can occur when officers work together to violate someone’s constitutional rights. For example, if two officers agree to falsely arrest someone because they disagree with their political views, they are engaging in a conspiracy against rights.
Another example of conspiracy against rights in police encounters is when officers use excessive force against someone during an arrest or detention. If two or more officers agree to use excessive force to subdue a suspect, they could be charged with conspiracy against rights.
It is important to note that individuals do not have to be law enforcement officers to be charged with conspiracy against rights. Anyone who conspires with others to deprive someone of their constitutional rights can be charged under this federal law.
If you believe that you have been a victim of conspiracy against rights during a police encounter, it is important to seek legal help immediately. A civil rights attorney can help you understand your rights, gather evidence to support your case, and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
The fight against conspiracy against rights requires constant vigilance and action. Always stand up for your rights and peacefully resist unjust actions of those who engage in this illegal activity.
Final Thoughts:
It is important to understand that as agorists and anti-statists, we may not agree with the rules and regulations imposed by the state. However, it is equally important to be aware of these rules and regulations so that we can hold those in power accountable to their own principles.
By knowing and asserting our rights, we can effectively resist and challenge the unjust actions of law enforcement officials and protect our civil liberties. It is crucial to exercise our right to film and record police interactions, as this can provide valuable evidence in cases of police misconduct.
We must also remember that the power of the state lies in its ability to maintain a monopoly on force. As such, we must be prepared to defend ourselves and our communities against state-sanctioned violence and oppression. This may involve creating networks of mutual aid and self-defense, and supporting organizations that work to hold the state accountable and promote justice.
It is good to remember that over 90% of all arrests are made out of self-incrimination, in other words not talking reduces your chances of getting kidnapped by 90%, so it’s important not to give officials any information beyond reasonable compliance, when left alone to do their jobs without your help, they really suck at sticking charges on you.
If this information is too much for you to remember during these types of encounters, Below is a simple printable rights card that we suggest you use when you need to assert your rights.
In the end, the fight for freedom and autonomy is ongoing and requires constant vigilance and action. We must continue to educate ourselves and others on our rights, and work together to build a world where the state is no longer able to trample on the liberties of its citizens. By standing up for our rights and resisting the unjust actions of those in power, we can create a more just and equitable experience when dealing with law enforcement and public officials.

Thanks for the link!
I outlined lots of ways to mitigate or work against the forces at play in Tools of the Technocracy, but the biggest challenge is getting people to recognize the seriousness. A lot of this didn't start in a day and it won't be stopped in a day. We all need constant effort to reassert our autonomy..in every realm of our lives.
