"The cop was not professional! He's either a complete a$$hole or extremely stupid. The is the USA, and if you want to go somewhere, it's nobody's business but yours. "Show me your papers. Ve know you haf relatiffs in North Canton."
The cop's question was very confrontational, as he implied the denial of the "punk" kid's constitutional rights."
You my friend are the "a$$hole" with a comment like that. You must be anti-cop for a reason. A law-abiding citizen would have no problem with the cop's question, especially in the light of 9/11 and Islamic terrorists. I'm sure you'd be the first to scream for a "cop" when you or a loved one are in need of assistance.
I read the Constitution quite often...I still have not found the passage that says "If you have nothing to hide, then you won't mind a little government intrusion which violates the Constitution." Indeed, the rights set forth in the Constitution are there for the very reason that this thread exists: so that US citizens are not subjected to this BS.
Oh, shut up.
Invoking 9/11 and "Islamic terrorists" to justify bullying a 19 year old kid is just pathetic.
