I had it happen to me about 10 years ago on I-30 east of Dallas on my way home. The Highway Patrol pulled me over in the middle of the afternoon because I was driving an old pick up and had long hair and beard and I do have many Tat’s.
When I asked them why they had pulled me over they said something about my crossing over the white line on the side of the the road, not the lane divider.
After they verified my insurance and license and determined I was not wanted for anything they then started with the “Do you mind if I search your truck” Crap. When I told them that I would and that I spent 8 years in the military defending my country and its constitution I then got the “well I’ll just call in the Dogs and we’ll see if we have probable cause. I told them go ahead, I like dogs and that I have all the time in the world, besides I told them that as long as I had them tied up doing nothing they weren’t doing harm to others that may not know their rights as well as I did.
They called in a Sgt and when he arrived they spent about 30 seconds in conversation and came back to me handed me my documents and told me I was free to go.
Cops are not your friend.
Thanks for the reply Ace; yea, some cops just aren’t our friends, some are o.k., some are as dumb as a stump and a few are just down right mean. They are mostly just a reflection of the society in general I guess.
