> Broken tail light and matched description of wanted armed robber.

You say this as if you wish to imply that this is justification for a street execution of a citizen.

Is this, in fact, your view?

In my almost 23 years in police work expired inspection stickers,broken tail light,etc were always lead ins to a whole host of other charges. One of the officers that went out every day just looking for penny ante violations ended up with huge arrests because these jerks think they can get away with all kinds of violations. The last case I remember for the one officer that was a stickler for detail etc. Was an out of state homicide warrant that took thirty mins to verify,but was a good warrant. That author has a perfect last name,it fits.

Huh?

I was answering the young lady’s question.

Please take YOUR agenda back to DU

Not his view, but your strawman.

Too bad you weren’t on this cop’s jury.

Wow! When did you stop beating your wife?

Do you keep your drivers license in your glove box?

If you were making a stop of a suspected armed robber, would you let him reach for the glove box?

Around 25 years ago I was the target of a felony stop. It was past mind eight and I was alone on the road. All of a sudden I was surrounded by six cops with their guns drawn on me and I was ordered out of my car. They wanted me to open my trunk. I knew I had a cooler full of beer in my trunk. I am asking about the Constitutionality of the search. I was told to not be stupid and open the trunk. In the blink of an eye they were all gone, except for one cop, who then told me my car matched the description of someone who just robbed a party store. He then said “isn't it good to know we are doing our job?” and then raced off.
