Wasn't a couple of sheriff's that did the two in the pink, one in the stink illegal crotch search from Texas?


That was DPS, the State Cops, and yes that was an egregious violation.

Texas has 254 Counties. The quality of deputies varies greatly, as does the quality of Sheriffs. My County has 3 deputies, one who is my next door neighbor.

True statement.

Some are "peace officers", some are "law enforcement officers", and they ALL are politicians.

Back to the video and what the PA said about cops out in West Texas... He is wrong. You get the same mix, no matter where you are in Texas. Good and bad.

...and they range from Loving County (pop. 71) to Harris County (pop. 4.2 million).

One thing I appreciate is that THEY appreciate teachers, leastways in my specific locality. I've been let off with a warning on traffic offenses two or three times over the years on that account.

I was disagreeing with you, not paraphrasing.

goodness sakes, I have been pulled over by police probably more times than all the posters here put together. in my 25+ years of driving I bet I have been stopped probably about 60+ times. most of which was in small texas towns probably not much different than electra. I have been there BTW. never have I had that much issue with law enforcement. I have also been stopped in utah, NM, wyoming and nevada, and of course texas where I grew up. still no problems with law enforcement. never have I been asked to get out of the car or even have my car searched.

I do, do a couple simple things lately which if it has to do with speeding might just get me off from a ticket. if its dark I turn on the dome light so the officer can see in the car. I am careful where my hands are in particular when the officer walks up to the car. often times I put them out the window so they can see them. I see nothing wrong with showing a little respect for law enforcement. thats not giving up my rights its just doing the right thing. I must be doing something right because I have never had that problem. from the looks of it, had those guys in electra stopped me that night, I would have showed them ID told them what was going on and been on my way. The part I am concerned with is the officer looking the car though.

Times are hard cops are just trying to raise revenue regardless if it's legal. So in cases like this look to GFY at your expense.
