That was pretty darn stupid on the cops’ part. Poor car passengers

[Stosh]

I guess the passenger couldn’t see why the cops were giving the poor driver the run-around.

(sorry)

[Openurmind]

They NEVER consider health issues, disabilities, or medical emergencies anymore. The hearing impaired are in extreme danger of being shot because they cannot hear “Lawful Orders”...

Oh, heck, if you drive through Arizona with your windows down you might still smell like weed when you are in Texas.

[Leaning Right]

Once again, the old adage applies. One bad apple will spoil the bunch.

Based on my experience and observation, perhaps 15% of cops are trash. And because little is done about them, the whole profession becomes suspect.

We see that here on Free Republic. A conservative site such as this should be solidly pro-police. But it’s not. And that’s not because FReepers are stupid. It’s because the cops are not policing themselves.

I believe I heard that Sammy Davis, Jr. was once pulled over for speeding. His passenger, Joey Bishop, said to the cop “He’s only got one eye. You want him to watch the speedometer, or the road?”

Thank God this was on a Wednesday, on Tuesdays and Thursdays its the other guy’s day to drive.

I guess a chinese fire drill was out of the question.

A paraplegic and blind man walk/roll into a bar...

Cripples and blind people are always sweet and kind and honorable. And hit chicks. And blacks. Let them go unbothered.

Too blind to walk

[tumblindice]

I pulled this blind guy, and his dog, back up on the curb when the guide dog started to take them into the crosswalk against the light.
The guy and his dog were both tangled up on the sidewalk, and the guy is holding out a Milk Bone!
So I say, “He almost got you killed. Why reward him!?”
He replied, “I’m trying to find his face, so I can kick his ...”
(cool story bro)

Then a rabbi, a priest, and a horse walked into a bar...

[CaptainK]

The cop did say he would search the car without the driver getting out, but then the driver screamed cops can’t search a car with passagers still inside.

[sport]

The actions of the Police on that stop warmed the cockels of every jackboot licker&rsquo's heart. The lack of human decency the cops displayed caused the jackboot lickers to practice4 self gratification thinking about it for months.

innocent victims of blind justice

[fuzzylogic]

I have family and friends that are officers (UK and USA). I am pro-law, as are Freepers. I am even more pro-Constitution, which should be redundant - but it is not. I've seen far too many instances of police having no clue of Constitutional rights, along with their ego and badge driving them into rage filled violations of basic rights. Many thinking they're 'clever' by doing dumb things to circumvent rights, or are just fundamentally ignorant of civil rights: - I smell , so I'm going to search your vehicle - You're slurring your words (when you're not) - Putting a foot in an open door at your residence, when there's no warrant, ignoring demands they leave - You must provide ID (when there's no articulable crime), or you're going to jail (as though they have the right to demand ID for no cause) - "We got a call" (so your rights disappear, usually demanding ID) - You must answer our questions or it's 'obstruction' - I don't KNOW you've NOT committed a crime - You need to prove you live here (or are allowed to be somewhere), with no cause to believe you don't/aren't - You've no business here (in a public building, breaking no law), free press/1A be damned - You're trespassed, requiring ID, when you've not even been asked to leave - It's against the law to record me - Saying "for officer safety", as an excuse to violate any and all rights - ... The part that really bothers me is that this should all be BASIC training. It's as if cops aren't even taught about civil rights, or, if they are, the testing bar is so low a recruit can fail understanding them and still graduate. Worse, when basic rights are being violated, other officers stand around and do nothing. Sometimes, even supervisors don't know better either. When victims of abuses point out the wrongdoing, the inevitable lawsuit mentioned, they just say, "that's fine"...as there's no personal financial consequence, just the taxpayer's money. The culture of law enforcement needs to evolve. They have a tough job - but too many don't stop bad officers. Many bad officers are only held accountable due to video recordings, which is just sad. Training is clearly lacking. Don't get me started on the UK, it's 1000% worse...Sept. 13th is going to be massive.

That old trick? “smelled of Marijuana”

Speech is slurred
Smell alcohol
Eyes glassy
Why nervous?

[faucetman]

I call BULLSHIRT on this!

One quick look would tell if the vehicle had hand controls.

Some guy claiming he can’t walk with legs convulsing, then making himself fall out of the car, screams FAKE. I doubt this is even a REAL traffic stop no matter how many times it appears on YouTube.
