What do you need to know about police encounters?

Many of us have felt that universal panic when the lights and sirens of a police cruiser pulls up behind us. The questions pop in our mind like, Did I do something wrong?” or “Why are they pulling me over?” JAEFA 814 is an organization committed to educating citizens on the basic laws surrounding 3 encounters with police officers.

These 3 encounters are:

  • Consensual Encounter
  • Investigatory Stop/Detention
  • Arrest.

What do you do when you are stopped by Law Enforcement? Do you know what you should and shouldn’t say to Law Enforcement? Are you aware of what you say could be incriminating? While dealing with the various responsibilities of life, the questions posed by law enforcement during any one of these encounters can be stressful for many citizens to process. We will educate you on the elements of each individual encounter a citizen will have with law enforcement no matter what state you are in.

Why should I take this course?

If you have ever had an interaction with Law Enforcement, you know how quickly these conversations can slip into misunderstanding. Because of this reality, every interaction with law enforcement should be taken seriously. Preparation may seem unnecessary, until you need it. To survive and protect your rights, you must be prepared for law enforcement interaction.

Also, the supreme Court has stated “Ignorance of the law excuses no one” which means; A person who is unaware of a law may not escape the liabilities for violating that law merely by being unaware of its content.

We are living in a country where legal awareness is a must for citizen because some individuals within our legal system as well as in our law enforcement agencies, refuse to enforce the law with justice, integrity and equality for all.

Therefore, we believe it is well over due, for the citizens and their children to arm themselves with the knowledge of the Jurisprudence of law. which is the method all attorney’s obtain their knowledge of the law, through studying real cases, real people, real evidence and a real judge and jury or some times just a judge deciding the out come of a case. 

Our law enforcement agencies has taken advantage of citizens, by exploiting their ignorance of the law long enough. Now its time for the citizens to level the playing field, by righting this wrong through interactive education of the law. 

J.A.E.F.A 814 legal awareness of jurisprudence will focus on the fourth common aspect of legal philosophy of law and that is “How do judges and juries (properly) decide cases?”

You will learn from a judges perspective (of the evidence and the totality of circumstances) and a judges interpretation of the states law and through jury instructions.

A judge gives the jury instructions because of their non- legal back ground of law. The judges instructions is simplified into a laymen’s term in order for a jury to understand the law, so they can objectively decide guilty or not guilty.



What makes this course different?

At JAEFA 814, each of our courses is different for many reasons.

First, you will be taught from an “insider’s” perspective who has no fear of losing their job or suffer repercussions from within the Law enforcement agency, for crossing the Blue Line. We  also, are not limited with how much information  we can educate you within each session, like an Attorney (which I am not) who doesn’t have time to do this unless you are a client. We can educate anyone using my own previous law enforcement situational experience and my experience studying case law to make complex ideas simple for anyone to understand.

Secondly, all of our courses are different because they incorporate a understanding of laws from a jurisprudence of law. Meaning, some citizens may be familiar with surface level laws, but at JAEFA we go deeper to give you an understanding from the judges interpretation of the state statutes as he or she has applied them to real people in real cases decided by evidence proven or disproven to yield a verdict of guilty or not guilty. This is done by breaking down actual police video stops and case law from actual court cases. So you can see the perspective of the court vs the police officer.

Thirdly, when you finish our sessions you will be equipped to:

. Respond calmly – because you know now responding any other way can add charges, escalate the situation into police brutality or deadly force.

. Recognize when your rights are being violated and what to do during and after you have been let go or been arrested.

.  You will understand that your camera and your knowledge of the law is for your defense to prove your innocence and not relying only on the police camera and the police to do right. Because the law allows police officers and Attorneys to lie to a certain extent as long as they are not under sworn oat. But I have seen some of them lie even under oath. They will tamper with evidence, plant evidence, withhold evidence, loose evidence and anything else that will help them win their case.

. You will learn how to respond during your police encounters to help your attorney build a strong case for your defense. Therefore, your attorney wouldn’t be blindsided by your actions on the street that will help the prosecutor build a solid case against you, like: voluntary consent to searches, incriminating testimony during police questioning, not knowing when to invoke your 5th amendment, giving officers reasonable suspicion because of your furtive movements while police officers are questioning you.
