I know cops and other government employees operate under the presumption/claim that if I’m physically in New York (or wherever), then the laws of state (government) apply to me and there is jurisdiction over me. Can any LEO’s provide any evidence to support this claim? By evidence I mean relevant facts, not legal opinions, legal citations and arguments.

This, and the interview with Robert Diab, and the other calls of shame, should help you prepare if you are going to court. You’ll see why prosecutors impeach their own witnesses so fast, because cops make legal determinations/claims everyday and they have no evidence. They’ll claim they don’t need evidence, which is probably why prosecutors object on cross-examination claiming their star witness is not competent to make legal determinations. Such admissions are really damaging to one’s case and perception of fairness.

Because we’re supposed to believe when a cop says you are violating the law he is not making a legal determination. We’re not all as stupid and lacking in critical thinking skills as they think.

So when you’re preparing to defend against an attack in court, know they have no evidence, that the applicability of their rules (jurisdiction) is their Achilles’ Heel. So much so that prosecutors will impeach their own witness.

But always remember: cops are armed and extremely dangerous, do not speak to them unless they are on the witness stand. They do not like being challenged, we’re considered “a threat to officer safety” for asking questions. Don’t make the mistake I made and ask them questions on the street or their department. It’s not worth the risk. We can easily discredit them from a safe distance.
