Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.

Full video from Katie Phang’s YouTube channel here:

They're not out there finding crime, they're out there looking to manufacture it. There will be quotas to be met. This is just an extension of what ICE is already doing to boost numbers but will soon be applied to residents sitting on the porch.
-
I totally agree ! And release the Epstein files
-
Most cops don't know the law.
-
Well thank goodness they are keeping our nation’s capital safe from dangerous people sitting on their porches. I mean, I for one feel much safer now.
-
THIS is the crime that is out of control so badly that Dump needed to bring in the National Guard…residents are peacefully drinking an alcoholic beverage on their own property?! Welcome to Fascism, America
-
Making up new laws along the way. Anything to cow the citizenry into submission.
-
-
I knew that, on private property..not considered drinking in public..
-
Finally, someone addressing the legality of this use of the useless border patrol
-
Well, THAT'S because they're coming from "BLUE LAW" states that have heavy restrictions on drinking- in states with high alcholism stats
-
They’re not trained at all. There role is to intimidate and that requires no training only a mask and a weapon.
-
The video is amazing if you can see it. DudeBros in their soldier cosplay with backwards hats and beards, explaining how they are there to enforce Donald Trump’s new rules. As if he’s the new sheriff in town or something. Really pathetic stuff.
-
Absolutely not training or discipline. Disgusting.
-
These street sweeping patrols have forgotten about curtilage. The area surrounding your home, like your stoop or driveway. They can't tell you what you legally do on your property!
-
#AmericanFascism
-
So why the hell is this happening anyway? If it's illegal, why isn't it being stopped?
-
-
Sounds like a cocktail party on every porch type of weekend
-
🎤EVERYBODY & I mean EVERYONE in in DC & CA need to have signs on their vehicles that say released the Epstein files so when they do get stopped by ICE for their photo they won’t be able to miss that sign. Maybe it will stop them from stopping people
-
Iowa Supreme Court affirmed it specifically
Iowa Supreme Court affirms right to be drunk on front porch
The Iowa Supreme Court has affirmed the right to be drunk on your front porch.
-
I grew up in the D.C. area and still live just outside. I’ve never been in trouble a day in my life. This shit is going to cause me to be arrested. Period. The end.
-
Trump's high IQ of 42.7 will come up with a big beautiful plan that will have Governor Newsom arrested and charged with gerrymandering and election rigging interference.
-
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE LAWS ANY ARRESTED ARE GOING TO BE DROPPED BY COURTS WHEN THEY ASK "COP" FOR THEIR PROBABLY CAUSE AND SECTION OF THE LAW!!!!
-
If ur an american citizen especially a white american citizen right now u have a god damned duty to test these scumbags & push them to their absolute limit. Catch a beating on camera & sue them for a chunk of our $45 billion in tax money they just got. Better we get it back then they have it right?
-
He can't drink alcohol on his porch because the DEA officer told him so. Every cop in this shithole country has final jurisdiction on what is legal and what is not, with the unquestioned ability to back their decision with lethal force.
-
You can’t teach stupid. You can’t fix stupid.
-
They have the same authority in enforcing the law as you and I.
-
Distraction
-
I suspect the DEA agent knew the law, but was just carrying out Trump’s demands to intimidate the citizens and teach them to be submissive to the new tyranny.
-
And how dangerously pervasive this is, threatening people sitting on their porch.
-
It of these idiots actually comprehend the training they are “taught”. They are all proud boys.
-
The only law any of them care about is do what l say when l say it.
-
So too re cannabis
-
And not coincidentally, they were black. DEA being tough
-
You have to be pretty fucking ignorant to not know that you can drink on your own porch.
Clowns.
-
If you can be a 34x convicted felon, lifelong con man and sexual predator AND still be President… they should be free to have a drink on their porch.
-
I don't think enforcing the law has anything to do with why they're there
-
The administration isn’t even trained in their appointed jobs. They’re all fucking tv people.
-
This why you get the govt you deserve. If you were stupid enough to vote for TrumPedo, this is what you get.
-
What training? They aren’t trained. Most of them buy their ICE gear from the Google store, including their badges and are just set loose on the citizens of this country. If we get our country back, don’t shut down the concentration camps. We will need them for these criminals that make up ICE.
-
These cowards. Debasing themselves at every turn. Citizens know their rights better than most cops. To be fair, the cops are complicit in the rights violations because they adore their under color of law perceived authority.
We, the people, grant them any authority they have. Take the power back.
-
There shouldn’t be a DEA officer patrolling the streets as a police officer. Police officers are trained in the laws that pertain to local jurisdictions. DEA agents aren’t trained for this, neither are ICE or the DC National Guard. This is just another distraction from the Epstein debacle.
-
If that happened to a MAGA guy under Biden it would be headline new on Fox. Biden's commie gestapo won't let a Trump voter have a beer on his own property.
-
The DEA officer can shoot the resident with impunity.
TACO 45 will pardon him.
This is fascism and it cannot be defeated without violence.
-
Having a hard time believing Republicans would be cheering Obama sending in the National Guard to deal with some good ol' boys drinking and smoking out front of their trailers in Montana. "Have you heard of the federal search that Barack Obama puttin’ out?"
-
Of course these DEA and nat guards don’t know the law of DC, they are thrown into this situation without any training whatsoever it’s sad these people are even in DC parading around all masked up
-
Seriously that is just bullshit and not for nuthin' BUT "The Golden Rule" ~ treating others the way you want to be treated worx here. In other words, how do you think any ICE agent (lol) would feel if someone (law) told THEM they can't drink on their own fucking porch? Exactly, Thatz my point!!!!!
-
ICE: Incompetent Cruel Ejits
-
If people have not realized one thing about DC is 91% voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and it proves why that orange taint is federalizing the police there. FREE D.C!!!!!
-
ICE expansion: the standards are 'relaxed'. bsky.app/profile/opsa... It's not real, but it is plausible. Less ICE / more immigration judges.
-
They’re idiots.
-
The brown shirts are trying to create an implied marshal law!! Every single one of them need to be held accountable- why? - they have a duty to defend against domestic terrorism.. and yet we've always known they've always been the terrorists.
-
I lined up some of our local police while they were keeping us from going after ICE agents. The questions asked, "did you read the Constitution before taking an oath to it?", for the one officer that claimed he read it, "did you decide to ignore your oaths before or after you took the oaths?"
-
It is so maddening and painful to watch this happen to our democracy.
I am so angry I can’t stand it.
-
They’re probably all J6ers!
-
Trump sprints AHEAD of the law. He acts outside the law, knowing that his behavior will not be legally questioned until months after the action has taken place.
-
Saw one where a guy was on his porch smoking a cigarette. They used the excuse that they "smelled pot" to force IDs from everyone.
-
The goons are not very bright or they wouldn’t be goons.
-
It’s called harassment
-
What the fuck are they doing?
-
-
Can't smoke outside either. Most apartments won't let you smoke inside. Sure, go ahead and keep people's cigarettes away from them. Do you want holy hell released in the streets? Buckle up buttercups.
-
Here's a hint: they aren't there to uphold the laws.
-
If you encounter Federal troops in your city, please ask them to call the military's GI Rights helpline for resisting illegal orders.
The troops are trained to ignore protesters, so maybe holding up a big sign would be better.

-
Pretty identical to the supposed "Sharia law enforcers" the right always tells me totally exist in Europe. Morality police.
-
That’s because this has absolutely NOTHING to do with laws or justice or crime and has EVERYTHING to do with intimidation, control, oppression terrorism and fascism.
-
4 words for that officer.
Get off my property.
-
The strongest military in the world is now acting like Mrs. Kravits.
-
But why would this Agent choose to engage like this? WTF ? I would love to know his thought process
-
I saw that video. officer who spoke was a Trump super fan.
-
DC should organize a “Drink on your Porch Day!” 1 drink only. Pls.
#TrumpIsACriminalPig
-
It would be wrong to call them “officers.”
-
The same officer attempted to access the resident's property without sufficient authorization.
-
No meu país qualquer adulto acima de 18 anos pode beber bebida alcoólica em casa ou nas ruas sem restrição. Os EUA precisam rever suas liberdades constitucionais e suas leis locais tendo como exemplo como é no Brasil. P.S. - sou abstêmio.
-
In Texas, land of the free, you can't drink anywhere on your property where you can be seen by the public. I read a news story a couple of years ago where a guy in Austin got arrested for "drinking in public" while standing in his living room behind his plate glass window.
-
No, these guys are not trained at all. They don't move, talk, behave like trained professionals.
-
BECAUSE. THEY'RE. NOT. REAL AGENTS.
UNMASK THEM.
-
I would have told that rent a cop to get off my property- I do not care what is going down with Donald Trump and his filthy excuse to hold DC hostage for 30 days because big balks got rolled going from bar to bar - that happens sadly everywhere - this isn't that - This is Trump deflecting Epstein
-
He was just jumping the gun on the upcoming laws. If you make less than $500,000 & have time to be drunk on your porch or watch tv or read a book or go on vacation or pretty much anything to do with leisure, you aren’t working hard enough. Or so fake Dr Oz tells me
-
Say fuck you to the DEA! Resist fascism!!!
-
And DC is a town full of attorneys. Expect many lawsuits over this.
-
World is laughing at America....and there are good reasons to.
-
How about the back porch? Cus that’s where I am right now🤣
-
The officer also told him he couldn’t smoke outside. It was insane. He was sitting on his front stoop. His porch railing was between him and the feds walking the neighborhood streets.
-
We wouldn’t have to tolerate this if Blue States secede just like Red States threaten to do when Dems are in charge! Blue States support Red States financially! Republicans would panic if Blue States refuse to send taxes to the regime! It’s the kind of fight we need & deserve from Democrats!!!!
-
DC should abandon salary and benefits paid by the city to the MPD. The federal government is not acting in an advisory role but as an employer/employee relationship. See how fast the feds head for the hills.
-
Hired bullies looking to start a fight…
-
Surprise. Anyone shocked?
-
So many of their actions will be tossed in court and opens up the possibility of class action lawsuits against the Fed.
-
The DEA can fuck all that way off!
-
Just tyrant's
-
I saw that. And couldn’t smoke on his porch either. WTF?
-
-
This administration is what scrapping the bottom of the barrel looks like
-
👊I’m Vance Bostic, I’m coming for Hakeem Jeffries seat for NY-8 Brooklyn in the June 2026 primary!
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
TOGETHER we will gut the establishment puppets! TOGETHER we will use OUR seat as a weapon truly OF, BY, and FOR THE PEOPLE!
Change is HERE | Vance B for YOU
-
Us police training is a joke. The world watches us cops murder people while other cops approve and facilitate the cover-up. You're not witnessing the rise of a fascist police state, you've always been in one
-
It is not now nor has it ever been about the law. It is about a conservative Christian take over through the threat of government violence for those who do not comply. They are trained to hurt people, that is what they are there to do.
-
Cops are usually among the least knowledgeable about the law. If only judges and prosecutors didn't protect them no matter what illegal acts they pull, maybe they'd have a reason to learn.
-
This is authoritarianism. America voted for this. We voted to end democracy in 2024.
-
It’s pretty common for cops to not know the law.
-
They know, they don’t care.
-
But nothing will be done because SCOTUS told him he can do whatever he wants. So this is all lip service.
-
Oh brother🙄🙄
-
Soon you can’t talk outside with your friends and neighbors
-
The DC resident should tell the DEA to fuck off
-
LOL the ICE thugs are scraped off the street and given guns
-
Understanding the law, enforcing the law, isn’t the job. The job is to harass the locals.
-
Of course they aren't trained, agents don't enforce local laws and aren't trained in them. These poor bastards were basically told to go out and patrol DC without even a minute of training.
-
All fed alphabet agencies have lost all credibility and when we get back will be mercilessly gutted by actually intelligent people, think methodical Jan 6 prosecutions but on steroids
-
Duh
-
#EndGOPFascism #DefendDemocracy
-
Yeah—fuck DEA😡😡🖕🏻🖕🏻 Ignorant sonsovbitches have drunk the kool aid🤬🤬🤬
-
They are only there to intimidate
-
McMoron only hires morons. Goofy eh?
Need to projectile vomit?? Aim it where it’ll do some good.
-
I saw a video on TikTok of ICE assholes telling 2 Black guys they couldn’t smoke cigarettes on their own porch, because it might be aKsHuLLy be weed… but also that smoking weed for recreational & medical purposes is legal?! It made zero sense
-
Party City sells cop badges ...
-
Wow can't have a drink on your own front porch, LOL
-
-
Dictatorship needs removed
-
I saw that last night I think on Lawrence. I'm like WTF man? He kept saying 'no smoking or drinking' although IDK about that cause pot's legal for both medical and rec use in DC, but still illegal under FED law. I'd have told that pompous asshole to get the fuck off my porch or I'd HELP him off.
-
I saw the video, they told him he wasn’t allowed to smoke or drink outside because he (trump) is tired of it and cracking down!
WHAT THE EVER LOVIN FUCK IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY?! -
ICE goons don't even understand habeas corpus much less the local booze laws which they have no biz trying to enforce.
-
'Merica!
-
Honestly not sure a Metro DC cop wouldn't do the same.
You know, just to hassle people.
-
The only proper response to that officer by the DC resident, is that his mom can't drink alcohol on his porch.
-
So what now? You can’t have a beer on your own front porch now?
-
They're not officers. They're Proud Boys, gravy Seals, and pardoned January 6th insurrectionists.
-
ALSO, MY PERSONAL EXAMPLE OF THE MIRACLE DRUG “FUKITOL” THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL CURRENT ILLS: EPSTEIN FILES NOW! EPSTEIN FILES DON’T FORGET! EPSTEIN FILES NEED RELEASE! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! NOWWWW!!!
-
I don’t get terrified. I get mesmerized by MAGAs supporting this. Really MAGAs?
- Do you want to live in a country where your rights get trampled by a random masked dude?
- Healthcare is a paid insurance? -The rich get richer & you pay the bill?
- Laws apply only to you?
- POTUS golf and you suck?
-
A combination of J6'ers, foreigners, whoever else! Look at this, 2 are ICE 2 are Russian soldiers. The last guy is Ivan_Raiklin Krasnov's Secretary of Retribution, Soviet born. Ive learned with Krasnov, "EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION " I feel like these "immigrants" ARE HERE!! FOR HIM
-
Videos make it clear half are using their own cars, no uniforms beyond an overkill bullet proof vest. Amateur hour.
-
-
I guess neighborhood barbecuing is now a crime in DC if you smoke or drink! SMFH
-
This is exactly why proper training and accountability matter. Officers enforcing laws they don’t understand aren’t protecting anyone—they’re creating confusion and fear.
-
It seems that many law enforcement types consider it open season on minorities, in particular Hispanic people. They figure that if ever charged with a crime, the criminal in the White House will pardon them. We live in the stupidest of times!
-
Yeah.. but... but.. THEY WERE BLACK!!!!!111oneoneone
-
I heard an interview in which an IDF officer reported that there are no rules in the Gaza war. Each company commander makes his own. That's the reason children are randomly being shot in the head & face. Point being that the benign things being said in D.C. could get much worse. Action could follow.
-
Wasn't that officer a Park Police officer?
-
The officer also mentioned something about smoking outside on that porch.
-
Those people aren't trained for domestic policing.
-
-
They aren’t there to enforce laws, they are there to intimidate opponents of the regime and to conflate the U.S.Military with the trump regime’s national secret police force, thereby compromising the U.S.Military by associating it with racism, political intimidation, and repression.
#ProveMeWrong
-
They started with smoking. What happens if someone in the house has COPD or is on oxygen?? You have to smoke outside! As far as drinking at least they are at home & not driving!
-
They are unlawful.....
-
Oh FUCK ALL THIS SHIT. are you REALLY trying to re litigate slavery "laws"????
-
Deplorable
-
Law enforcement isn't the point of all this is it?
-
-
A racist takeover of DC.
-
That’s what living in a police state is. Who thought the U.S. would become a police state
-
Is it actually true you can’t drink on private property in DC? Not on the portion of sidewalk that’s considered a public easement but on your own property? If true that’s truly fucked.
-
The "law" is what the fascist regime declares it to be. Run and hide or stand and fight. That is where we are today.
-
Project 2025 power before law
These people are committing treason
-
Absolutely agree officers should know the laws they enforce.
This shows a serious training issue
-
-
This entire process is akin to Officers on Highway Duty as the end of a month approaches…known as a “Quota System”…u need to “write tickets” irrespective of the “severity” of the offense…
-
They are not in D.C. to enforce any existing laws. They are there to create a new set of laws. Their laws. Trump's laws.
"He who saves his country does not violate any law." --- Trump
-
CITIZENS ARE IN DANGER.
-
Fuck all cops
-
But no one is calling for the Epstein Files.
-
They are Trumps Eunuchs
-
I saw a clip of uniformed 47 thugs tell a DC resident that he couldn't smoke weed on his own porch. He was smoking a cigarette. They went on to say that weed is legal in DC but must be smoked indoors only! No one wants to smell that! Oh yeah. DC is sooo much safer with these clowns on the street. 🙄
-
and now--->
DC AG sues trump & all the magats who have invaded the District of Columbia
& now ----> Hey #DirtBagDonny even Putin wants you to release the Epstein Files .. follow your Daddy's demands!
-
If ICE has gotten rid of all requirements for employment it would not be surprising that other agencies have done the same
-
Federal Agents are not allowed to enforce local laws. Oops, did I say Federal Agents? I meant The Gestapo.
-
Vigilantes?
-
They are all thugs in masks…
-
4th. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.
-
There are no laws. Just some dickheads telling you what you cannot do...
-
This is a system wide issue. Every single time I interact with police, they come heated, ready for a fight; then there is a discussion about how eating lunch in the park isn't illegal, they run my record, and then it's "yes, sir, sorry to have bothered you sir, have a good day, sir."
-
Ok. But the thing about that is ….. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
-
I think some ‘civil unrest’ shld be executed in a few red cities to force them to experience what shitler is putting blue cities thru. Nothing will change until t/ Red Hat Fck Around Society gets mad enough to vote blue. Hopefully they get hit real hard during t/ coming Holiday Season of Finding Out
-
Is Vladeck new to the network?
-
Power-tripping assholes with a badge.
Reminds of the scene in Kubrick’s Clockwork Orange: Jobs for them who are now of job age.
-
-
-
Whatever happened to lowering consumer prices?
-
I've been wondering about that since I saw the video!
-
That video shows they aren’t trained in the finer points of law but also that the cops aren’t used to the environment.
Those cops are used to suburbs w big yards where porches are set back 25’ from the street. They don’t read “small lot with porch along the street” as private.
-
They're enforcing their own twisted morality on others now that they feel they've been set free.
-
Where are all the folk who complained about the 'tryranny' of lockdowns and masks now? 👀
-
Because they are not law enforcement. They aren't trained for this. And it is totally terrorism to do this to Americans. We need to sue this administration for 1 trillion dollars - or more for all the hardship and terror they have cause.
-
just more opportunities for qi, really
-
police academy lasts abt 7 months. law school lasts abt 7 years. thats a trench of a difference.
ive always felt cops should have a college degree or longer training period.
-
What a joke
-
This is so ridiculous…
-
You know it’s bad when “obviously” is on repeat in your own head during a heated exchange..
-
WTF is a DEA agent doing in neighborhoods, bothering someone about drinking?
-
Demented donnie's Gestapo!
-
They’re just proud boy assholes!
-
No court has ever said that cops are required to know the laws that they are enforcing.
-
There's no law anymore.
-
They aren't there as law enforcement. They are there as thugs to intimidate and terrorize the citizens in favor of their dictator.
-
I don’t smoke or drink, but if someone comes to my porch telling me I can’t do these things on my own property, shit is going to get real ugly real quick.
-
Don't rule out lessons learned from the LA disaster.
If there ain't trouble, then create it. Just look busy.
