i don't think that anyone here is saying that cops should NOT pull over someone they have "probable cause" to beleive is doing something illegal, what we're saying is that there is a difference between "probable cause" being used to sponsor a fishing expedition, and ginning up a pretext for same.

what would you think about it if a cop pulled YOU over to "give you a good-driving prize", and the computer said that your license was revoked? Computer often make mistakes of that caliber y'know.

I was pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt. I offered to show my proof of insurance and the cop didn't want to see it. What was up with that?
