Great advice. Unfortunately the people of Maryland along with many others through-out the country place into power those political elites who allow and encourage such police/law enforcement actions. In essence the public has given their consent to be ‘violated’ via the ballot box. Until the MAJORITY of the voting public actually gives a damn about Constitutional rights nothing is going to change. It will only get worse as such ‘violations’ will increasingly become the norm. Those who resist will either be given the obligatory sympathy from the usual quarters then fade away or something worse with little sympathy from an uncaring, uninterested public.
“as police can often act irrationally if offended.”
Police can often act irrationally for no reason at all. Offending them guarantees it.
