Just by reading this thread everyone should clearly know why Obama got elected twice and Hillary will be next. People everyday are ready to give up their liberties for a just a little more what they think is safety.
It's true, being courteous to law enforcement personnel works much better then telling them, " If your gonna give me a ticket, give me a ticket. If I wanted to listen to a lecture from a minimum wage c***s*cker, I'll go home to the wife" I overheard that conversation while filling up with gas many years ago between a speeder and a HP. It was amazing how quick the tickets were written.
Obviously ... at the end of the day, cops are just people doing their job. Treat them with some measure of respect and they will show you the same respect.
I'll keep that in mind next time I meet somebody in law enforcement.
But that really has not one [bleep] thing to do with the topic at hand.

This is quite true. Yesterday I got stopped for doing 57 in what I thought was a 50 MPH zone. Turns out I was doing 57 in a 25, which was also a school zone, while school was getting out. I was respectful, he sent me on my way and said don't do it again. Could have been easily a $1000 bucks and reckless driving.
Not all cops are dicks, but they should generally be distrusted; much like politicians.

Exactly. If the checkpoint even gets a hint that you may have had a few (even hours earlier), you're probably going to be field tested. Got a bum knee? Too bad that walk the line test, or balance on one foot thing may not work so well for you, even though you may be perfectly legal. Your night just got real interesting....
I have been wondering what would happen if I ever got checked for a DUI. Back injury makes my left leg numb and it does not always do what I tell it to do and I often have a hard time telling exactly where it is. Then add constant vertigo. I never drink and drive. If I am having a drink it is either at home or someone not drinking dies the driving.
I could be in big trouble and a blood test would confirm there was no alcohol in my blood just because of my handicaps. Probably not an issue because I have not driven on any public road in over six months and if they cannot make a big improvement in my vertigo I may never drive again.
I will admit I love it when officers remove a drunk from the road but I like the way they are doing in in Oregon and Washington, by watching for impaired drivers not my what I believe are unconstitutional stops.
Driving on the highways is a privilege, not a right. I have no problem with them keeping drunks off of the road!

whatever we do to take drunk drivers off the road is fine with me....do you know anyone killed or seriously injured by someone driving drunk?
Whatever we do to take guns off the street is fine with me...do you know anyone killed or seriously injured by someone using a firearm in an unlawful manner?
with reasoning like this, you belong in congress.
Uhhh...that quote was turning around the logic YOU USED to throw it back in your face to show JUST how absurd it was. You didn't get that? With reading comprehension like that you may make a good congressional aide.
I got stopped here in N.C. after they couldn't find anything wrong they asked to look in my trunk. I told them there was nothing in there that belonged to them, guess what??? by the way my wife and I are in our 80s. it was worth the price of a lawyer just to piss them off. if stopped again I expect to be greeted with, where are your papers jew?

That line was so great it was worth the cost of admission.

Since not being able to figure out who I was replying to (I guess the quote wasn't enough hint for you) isn't your strong suit, go back and read my reply again.
Sorry if you're so easily offended, send Kamo an email as he heads up the 'Fire Victim's are Us chapter.
