My position is that, once you allow the precedent of cops being able to do that to somebody, then they will wind up being allowed to do it to ANYBODY.

In that world, pray you never encounter a cop with a chip on his shoulder towards you, whether it's from his deciding you were insufficiently respectful, or he just doesn't like your race, or you owe his brother money.

I believe the cops were required to get a warrant from a county judge, weren't they?
