[Gay State Conservative]

As time goes on I find I have less and less respect for cops...at least those in my neck of the woods.Living in,perhaps,the most liberal area of the most liberal state in the country I know that I,a white,heterosexual guy who's residing in this country legally,have fewer rights than any other category of person.

As a result,I'd never give permission to search even though the most dangerous/illegal thing I ever carry in my car is a jack and a cigarette lighter.

Back in the 90’s my wife and I took a vacation on the east coast, part of which was renting a very nice vacation home in the Marthas Vineyard area. What I did notice about a noticeable percentage of the police ( State Troopers?) was that they seemed to prefer black fatigues and black web gear along with combat boots and shaved heads. Very heavy into the SWAT look as a fashion statement as well as heavy on the intimidation.
