What freedoms have any of you lost? If you are speeding you are stopped. If you are lucky you get only a warning, if you have drugs in your vehicle or on your person then you are committing a crime. Why on earth should ANYONE be permitted to slide because he wasn't sporting a flashing red sign on his vehicle saying he had the drugs? So the dog sniffed and the motorist was caught. He was breaking the law.

As far as I;m concerned the police can stop me every freakin' day as long as they are trying to stop crime. A sniffing dog would find no drugs in my vehicle because I don't use them. To believe that money in my wallet that had drug remnants on it would send me to jail is absurd.

Hi JoeV1-

"...As far as I'm concerned the police can stop me every freakin' day as long as they are trying to stop crime...

How much earlier are you prepared to depart for work each morning to accommodate these random stops during commuting rush? Forty-five minutes, an hour, two hours?

How long do you feel your boss will endure your "pulled over by the police again" excuses before he terminates your employment?
