Yeap, all cops do is protect those in their ranks who brake the laws, harrass innocent criminals and make life miserable for us poor folks under their boots.

Your words, not mine.

I was told by a retired cop in my community that it would be unwise to refuse to let a cop search my vehicle if I was ever pulled over for a traffic violation and the cop asked. While I have nothing to hide, I consider it a violation of my rights. He cautioned me that my refusal could prompt a radio call for the drug dogs to be called while the officer stalled, waiting for their arrival. I was further cautioned that, once on the scene, few people know what signals are given to the dogs. So if the dogs make a fuss, the officer might then "pull something out of your car seat" that wasn't there before you were pulled over.

So plead your case about the integrity of all officers when we innocent private citizens can be reasonably certain that all officers are deserving of our accolades.

Yep, the nerd in the back of the class grew up and now has a gun and a badge and is going to make sure you know who's boss. And I hear they shoot family dogs for sport in Tennessee.

Guilty until they prove themselves innocent in your little mind. Great judicial system you'd have for us.
