The cops can say you "acted nervous" (who doesn't, when getting pulled over??) and bring in the dog.

Now they can pull you over for "swerving in your lane" (aka, not driving in a perfect straight line) and search you for "acting suspicious".

Basically, they can pull you over and send in the dogs for a search with no cause whatsoever.

Today's tyranny minute has been brought to you by the U.S. Supreme Court. Nice work, folks.

When I read this post, I immediately thought of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "99 Problems" by Jay-Z. People who don't know better might think it sounds paranoid:

So i...pull over to the side of the road
I heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo'?
"Well you was doin fifty-five in a fifty-four"
"License and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' a weapon on you i know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of [clinton] all my papers legit
"Well, do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack, you some type of lawyer or something'?"
"Or somebody important or somethin'?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my [clinton]
"We'll see how smart you are when the K-9 come"
I got 99 problems but a [hillary] ain't one

-Eric
