Police Oath

  The oath of office sworn by all police officers differs slightly from state to state, county to county.
What doesn't differ though is the basic concept. All police officers swear to respect and uphold people's rights, this means uphold the U.S. Constitution. In America the Constitution trumps all laws and ordinances even though this is not what society tells us. This is not what the media tells us and it is not what the schools are teaching our kids. If a police officer gives you an unlawful order you are not required to obey it. We are not required to blindly follow orders just because they are given by a policeman. Police officers all across the country are making illegal arrests. The reason they are getting away with it is because no one dare question the police. Our society is conquered by fear, we need to ask questions and most importantly we must know our rights. Most police officers don't know the laws well enough to answer your questions, but they will arrest you if you don't listen. The police have the power to arrest anyone for anything, all they have to do is say you were "disturbing the peace" or "obstructing justice". These two charges broad and cover just about anything. The bottom line to all laws is the U.S. Constitution. It is simple, if a law contradicts the Constitution, it is an illegal law... period. Police officers might say something like "we are just following orders", this is a scary statement in America. This is the entire reason for the oath, It keeps officers of the law morally accountable to themselves. Its too bad there are men & women in high positions who ignore the oath and ignore the constitution they swear to uphold. Bad orders are often given and we need cops who are mentally strong enough to remember their oath and risk their careers for this great country.- BDB
