I used to feel that this was an outrage. However, the roads don't have the "freedoms" that individuals have because we need a license to drive. Therefore, we agreed to be regulated when we got our driver's license.

It doesn't matter how you feeeeeeel.

Pulling someone over without witnessing an actual infraction or having a reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime violates the 4th amendment of the Constitution.

It is an outrage.

I know it! I couldn’t afford to fight it when something similar happened, just paid the 90$ ticket and got supervision. At midnight I’m heading home from work getting on the tollway only the I-pass lanes were blocked and they had the gate down and a cop on the other side of the only open lane. I stopped, asked what’s going on, he says “Random Safety check mam please pull over on the left” and I said “wait a second it’s my birthday, I got off work late already, and my husband’s waiting for me, what did I do wrong that you can detain me?” He says “well you were going 40 when it’s 15 through here” It was BS I couldn’t have been doing 40 when I’d just turned from the light and had to stop at the tollbooth. Anyways I raised my voice about it being unconstitutional and then pulled over but with a squealing of the tires (stupid I know but I was angry, felt violated) and he gave me a ticket for it. Never knew one could even get a ticket for tires squealing while braking lol. I called State Police when I got home and they were nice but did say it’s perfectly legal (of course they would duh)Ironically my license also had expired the very day the officer pulled it. as well. But I digress..
