I know you all smoke pot because I've just seen Aaron King, an Iowa police officer, say it is so. The evidence emerged from King being filmed with a cell phone during a routine traffic stop.

It all started innocently enough. King apparently stopped the car because its headlights were not turned on.

Video at source.

Somebody needs to tell Andy that Barney's got a wild hair up his *ss again.

1. There is nothing unconstitutional for a policeman to talk with you and ask questions.

2. There is also nothing unconstitutional for you saying “I do no consent to you searching my vehicle, I have nothing more to say and I would like to go now.”

It’s the vetting process. You can’t tell me this guy had a very tough process to go through coming to the police force.

Is that officer the sort of man you want to give a license to kill?

Never heard of it until this post. I learn something new everyday here at FR, although I have no idea what it is. Guess I'll have to look it up on-line.

I’m not even sure this guy could be trained to use a fly-swatter, given only six months.

Is he James Bond?

He’s entitled to his dreams.

Everybody behaved legally here -- but the police officer was pushing hard to find due cause for a search. One wrong answer and WHAM! this is going to escalate quickly.

And that's not actually why we have police. They are not employed in order to entrap us. They are supposed to help us.

Maybe not. But don't they have other things to do? You know, like catching REAL criminals.

It's as if the cop wants to start a confrontation. I don't trust any of them anymore. Just isn't safe.

police officers these days are typically festooned with garish tattoos and they listen the same violent, anti-social bilge that is the listening fare of the scum bags they arrest.

there’s no longer any difference between cops and scumbags.

Cops.are no longer heroes and increasingly COPS *ARE* ROBBERS.

The officer was being a jerk.

[Slings and Arrows]

Legally, yes; professionally, no.

We played Frisbee golf at UNC back in the mid 70's.

Our 18 hole course went all through north campus.

I did search the copyright list, and did not find CNET. Perhaps it’s time for an update.

Frisbee golf has been around since the invention of the pie pan.

Succinct assessment.
