“For me it’s the principle. I don’t like feeling like a “subject” or “peasant”.”

Me neither.

But this is exactly what they say about Ferguson.

That’s the Jackson Sharpton Holder position.

And there’s the rub. The fact is, most of the time the cops actually do have reasonable doubt. How many of that gob of money was taken from people that WERE involved in drugs?

This is why these must be scrutinized on a case by case basis. Sometimes the cops are right. Sometimes they are thugs. If I’m a twenty something in a beat up car and I smoke pot on a fairly regular basis, I should not be surprised if the cops seem suspicious and may want to pursue some search. If I’m a middle aged guy going home from a white or gray collar job in my mid-life crisis Camaro, it would be ridiculously improbable that the cops weould insist on a search. If I look nervous it’s because I gotta explain to my wife/girlfriend why I’m late.
