EXCLUSIVE: Cops Bust a Mans Window After Pulling Him Over For a Cracked Windshield

BELLEVUE NE – Apparently, driving a vehicle with a cracked windshield gives police the authority to pull you over, break your window, kidnap you, and put you in a cage. At least this held true for Kris Koebel and his brother while they traveled in their jointly owned Chevy Silverado pickup up last Friday night near Omaha.

A Bellevue police officer can be seen, in a video posted to YouTube, explaining to the brothers that the reason he pulled them over was the “vision obstruction” in the windshield. Before any further conversation takes place, Kris, the passenger and videographer asks the officers to identify themselves and reassures them that he and his brother are peaceful people. Officer Ruby (297) promptly identifies himself, however his partner, Officer Meyer (192), who can be seen on the passengers side, points to his name tag, and, at first, refuses to verbally identify himself. He later begrudgingly offered his name and badge number after several pleas from Koebel.

Debate then begins as the officer asks for a drivers license and proof of insurance. The men claim to the officer that the statutes (of the State of Nebraska) do not apply to them as they operate under common law. They further make claim to the officer that they are not operating a motor vehicle as they are not taking part in commerce, but rather traveling, which is supposedly a natural right. After going back and forth on whether or not the men are obligated to identify themselves, the driver asks if this was really all about the windshield? The officer adds that in addition to the cracked windshield, Nebraska state law requires two plates on a vehicle. Koebel provided BrettSanders.me with a photo of the plates that were displayed on the vehicle at the time of the incident. They read “EXEMPT, NOT FOR HIRE, PRIVATE PROPERTY.”

As debate between the men and police officers continues, one officer eventually threatens the driver with physical violence and arrest…

“We’re going to pull you out and place you under arrest for no proof of ownership.”

The driver responds to the threat by asking…

So, now I need a proof of ownership and I can be on my way?

The officer then changes his story…

We’ll see…it smells like you have been drinking.

Eventually the driver submits to the officers request for paperwork, but makes it clear that the submission was under duress and protest.

The officers then denied the brother’s continued requests for a sergeant or a sheriff and instead gave them “their last warning” to step out of the vehicle. Shortly thereafter, the officers loose their patience and quickly make their way to the passengers side of the vehicle. Before the camera can even pan over to catch the officers destroy private property, officer Meyer can be heard busting the passenger side window.

Both men were then pulled out of the vehicle and promptly arrested. With no judge present until the following Tuesday (27th), both men spent 4 nights in a cage. The driver of the vehicle was charged with not having a license plate, no insurance, and driving under the influence (officers found a bottle of alcohol in the vehicle). No field sobriety or breathalyzers were conducted during the investigation. Both men were charged with obstructing a peace officer and bond was set at $750 and $500 respectively.

When BrettSanders.me asked Kris if he is part of the ‘Sovereign Citizen‘ movement, he responded…

I do not claim to be a part of the group, I don’t think they are bad people but the government makes them seem bad. Im a free man and I live in my body and I don’t reside in a “state”.

Ironically, Kris used to build government emergency vehicles, but later quit when met with the moral conundrum of mounting lights on top of a domestic military type vehicle (MRAP).

When asked if he had a message for others who might read this article he offers the following…

I know what’s coming to America and my kids live here, we need to wake people up but its probably to late.

Authors Take

Most people will see this video and write these gentlemen off as cooks or crazy domestic terrorists. But I see them as operating as free people in a police state, an M.O. that will most likely always result in state sponsored violence. I would not recommend the tactics used by these men unless you are OK with spending time in a cage, and spending your money to fight against the very same institution that will cage you to begin with. We are so far from being free, that by not obeying a fictional authority after exhibiting peaceful behavior, can land you in a cage. Cages that are meant for violent members of society that are not fit to interact with peaceful people. If everyone realized their natural rights to be free of oppression, there is not enough force on the entire planet to stop the freedom, peace, and prosperity that would result.
