If you knew how many cops were killed each year after being shot or stabbed after a simple traffic stop, maybe you would be a little more understanding if a cop asks you if he can take a look inside your vehicle.

I don't know what one has to do with the other. Also, if you had a clue how many responsible, law abiding people had their rights violated by corrupt cops each year, you may feel differently.

I deal with cops every day. I know that does happen, but the number of cops that have their rights violated by criminals is far far greater.

If we ever got to the point that people were routinely being asked to be searched at random, I would feel differently, but that’s just not the case. Most folks that are pulled over, just give the cop their licensce and registration and that’s it and no search takes place. It is interesting that all of the litigation in these cases involves people who are arguing to supress the cocaine that was found in the trunk etc.
