"Yeah, the constitution is real wacky. /sarcasm"

The constitution is not wacky. But this guy's interpretation of the constitution certainly was. According to the guy that shot the police officer, it was unconstitutional to stop a guy doing 12 mph over the limit. Do you find that to be a true reading of the constitution?

Since I personally don't believe that it is constitutional to require licences for driving or to allow agents of the state to harass drivers peacefully going about their buisness, I'd have to say yes, it is wrong to stop a driver for simply driving, and not harming anyone.

This all, of course, is really no longer the point of this story.

He also believed that he had the constitutional right to murder a police officer over that "unconstitutional" traffic stop. Disgusting.
