Interesting name for an “Operation” that is supposed to be about traffic safety. These operation code names are code names given to offensive military actions which is essentially what the new up and coming police state is about.

A friend of mine and I were stopped by a deputy one evening, amny years ago. The deputy played the “Do you know why I stopped you?” game. My friend, the driver, said he might have been going a little quick. The answer actually was we had a tail light out. The prize was a ticket for both speeding and a non-working tail light.

Cops are not necessarily your friend, especially with what government is becoming. They do not necessarily share your ideals and agenda.

I just love it when a cop says something like this to a citizen: "Just be honest with me. I'm just looking for a little honesty here."

Which translates exactly to: "Confess to something so I can arrest you."

I was stopped a couple months back and asked the same question. When asked the magic, “Do you know why I stopped you,” I answered I hadn’t a clue since I knew I was not speeding. Being courteous, respectful, and genuinely surprised earned me a warning for no tail lights or brake lights in a town that never gives warnings. Of course, mine was a legitimate stop for safety reasons. I’d have likely been arrested for asking why I needed to lower my window the rest of the way.
