    Unfortunately, the system is disgustingly corrupt. I'm retired LE and fought corruption my whole career. Here i am in retirement doing it all over again. This time certain members of the bar association are acting like a cartel here in NM. They control the police and state agencies and they threaten, harass, and intimidate citizens; as well as steal their property without just compensation or any lawful cause. Of course, as soon as an attorney is willing to take my case, they get pulled off bc of who these bar cartel members are. So i'm going to do it myself. People have no idea how far gone this country is...

    The problem with the police is the GOOD ones DON'T call out the BAD ones which makes THEM twice as BAD!
  • As type this I am under survellance. By me typing this I am sure I am putting myself in danger of a possible home invasion. I just wanted to thank u for all this information. I am an VET and was doing okay until my 17 year old son died in an operation that he did not have to have. I could not focus and was completely distraught. Individuals took advantage of that and began harrassing me at my home which continues to this day. The harrassment sent me down the rabbit hole and my PTSD came to the surface. They continue to poke at my PTSD and I have totally withdrawn from society. I really appreciate your information. Thank you.

    There was a time I could have sued for a cop pushing multiple times then slamming me . I had never been in trouble in my life and was a 50 yo female but only ppl with money can hire a civil rights attorney but we all need one!!
  • It is absolutely insane when we have law enforcement officers with authority to use deadly force when they are not even required to know the law while on our streets enforcing the law with deadly force. And even worse most police officers are breaking the law every single day by enforcing policies that are designed to break the laws by violating our guaranteed protected constitutional human rights with no limits and no accountability.
  • Your the best teacher. I was tased in my own home while I was laying flat on my stomach with my hands raised after being slammed to the ground and the officers did not have a warrant. Thank you

    Thank you so much ~ I am being targeted by Law Enforcement following a divorce from an ex-husband that poisoned me with Arsenic and they refused to investigate the Criminal Case? I have Video's on Youtube under Katie Kidman where I have been harassed and targeted repeatedly. I wish I had an Attorney to defend me - none in this tight community.😌

    Great teacher. She speaks in terms where non lawyers like me can understand and learn

    I’m surprised you tube lets you maintain this channel with all this truth and explanation of how to traverse the courts.
  • She's Appears to be honest no matter her job title... also she's letting you know how you can pursue the officers or municipalities for unlawful detention. So we all need understanding of governing our own affairs and there is nothing wrong with knowledge building from others so you can have your claims processed and since I like structure I wrote down and studied key facts she presented as well as sending out notices to this states officials letting it be known that I rescind any unlawful contracts while also creating complaint to invoke Equity seeing how we can make our own money like one knows if he or she can make people then it's also agreed that each of us can speak, write, read and produce honest correct data that supports the claims of violations these Bankers aka lawyers also sworn into oaths falsely attack or target you I say this because I was once a victim so I thought being taught to hire ppl to speak for me but never really getting freedom trust me your salvation is not in their offers its in Tort claim or by Equity. I'm sure this also has a great deal with us all using postal zone codes aka UPU codes that try and give others/litigators jurisdiction over us. Never the less you can create valuable points from her videos so we should see the value within each other rather than choosing lack of over standing of our own individual affairs enclosing I'm grateful for all who shares knowledge 🙌 no matter our different paths peace and love all Queen Haras of the 100 Kings and Queens.
  • I live in Texas and I've been hurting for 3 months, Thank You for the information and details,I have contacted many litigators in my central Texas areas and no one wants to help.
  • Thank you for sharing and doing what you do! I am now a law student (a later bloomer) but back in 2016-2017 I was falsely arrested, humiliated in public, chastised, handcuffed, driven to the local jail and cuffed to a bench for hours while my pleas to use a restroom were ignored. They sat me beside drunken and violent men, which is illegal as I am a female. Finally, they provided me with a UA that proved the cause for arrest was false (officer told me I was on meth, that my eyes didn't lie... when really I pulled over to sleep in my car briefly while on my 1.5hour commute home from work that night because I was falling asleep behind the wheel. I was trying to be safe.) He found me ASLEEP! How did he assume I was on meth? I had seizures at age 18 which left me with some brain damage, so one pupil doesn't dilate like the other. He ran with that and the fact at that time I was quite thin from being over worked and in a bad relationship and I am heavily tattooed. I think he simply judged my appearance and not my competence or behavior. If I was a grandma, or something...that wouldn't have happened. The police department didn't respond to any of my complaints so I dropped it but this still haunts me and causes me severe anxiety when pulled over by police.
  • IF A PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED --- DON'T THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT WHEN THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ARRESTED?
  • I’m blessed to have ran across your YouTube it has helped me greatly my son who is a first responder got railroad by an office who lied in a declaration and the DA knew it in fact his defense attorney knew it to but failed to inform his client luckily we know how to protect ourselves from injustice through documents, audios and investigations. I would like to contribute to you continuing work for justice of the people let me know how I can help you in any way. Stay blessed my friend

    If one wanted to file a claim against an Officer on their own what forms need to be printed out to fill out and file?
