Congratulations.

You are part of the problem and not a part of the solution (and no solution is needed because this is an exaggerated problem, BTW).

I don't follow you, and I don't really wish to argue about this; I was just sharing my experiences and observations, not telling you what you are or making judgments.

If I elect to avoid trouble with cops, by not spitting in their eye when they stop me on the road, I'm being intelligent and self-preserving, like any creature that lives to fight another day.

Look, I'm libertarian by natures, I hate restrictions on my freedom, I work to expand everyone's liberty whenever and wherever I can, and I'm more effective when I'm not in custody. How is not being a martyr considered being "part of the problem"?

Or am I missing some subtle tongue-in-cheek aspect to your comment?

Well, I don't like being stopped on the road when I'm not breaking the law, ever. Invasion of privacy is a growing problem. But America's nothing like a police state yet; there's still plenty of hope (hope! for change!) as long as we avoid electing a totalitarian regime. Neither of the major party candidates is free of that taint.
