Good work by the cops.

Nah. Get ready for the cop-haters to bellyache about the poor widdle guy getting stopped for not wearing a seat belt!

According to the libertarian philosophy, you are not allowed to prevent a crime. You can only prosecute the perp after he commits it.

So these are the innocent folks that barkobama was referring to last evening on the convention floor.

Innocent people dragged off by the police.

Why not just dispense with the charade and allow stops for any reason to check things out. That way you'll be more likely to catch the careful criminal and prevent them from committing a crime.
