What do you do when you see red and blue lights, but it isn’t the local police at your window - it’s ICE?

In this video, Attorney Marc Lopez breaks down the 5 psychological traps ICE agents use during traffic stops and the exact legal script you need to protect your freedom.

Knowing your 4th and 5th Amendment rights is your best defense. Most people talk their way into handcuffs by trying to be "helpful." Learn why silence isn’t enough and why you must audibly invoke your rights to avoid the "Silence Trap."

Key Takeaways in this Video:

-The 4 Words to Say: Why "I plead the Fifth" is your most powerful weapon.

-The Small Talk Trap: How "friendly" questions are used as fishing poles for evidence.

-Consent vs. Compliance: Why you should never consent to searches, even if you have nothing to hide.

-The Silence Trap: Why the Supreme Court says you must speak up to remain silent.

-Roadside Safety: How to narrate your movements to keep the officer calm and the situation de-escalated.

About Attorney Marc Lopez: Marc Lopez is a criminal defense attorney dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex legal system and protect their constitutional rights.

Fuck the AI usage in this video.

ICE, DHS, ERO and other federal paramilitary invaders that are often lumped together with ICE do not wear cute blue hoodies or uniforms with ICE on it. They wear military fatigues, with camo and extra ammo to shoot you with. They don't show their faces, and they do not identify.

The rest of the information seems fine assuming the paramilitary is respectful of the law. But we all know that's often not the case.

Does the 5th Amendment Apply to Non-Citizens? It seems legally it does, but outcomes in the news suggest that legal rights are not always respected, which is a concern. I would rather not have any interaction with US immigration officers.

And, if you say “I plead the Fifth” then immediately shut the f*ck up. The cops will try to get you to un-invoke your right to remain silent.

Or in case you have a terminal illness and your affairs in order and are armed: go out with a bang and get as many as you can.
