Perhaps the lawyer would like a ticket every time his car was a few inches too far from the curb, or maybe be stopped for 2 mph. over limit. Or a ticket for not having his headlights properly aimed.
Hair splitting works both ways and the police have the upper hand. As a practical matter-leave the cops alone.

“As a practical matter-leave the cops alone.”

Agreed - let sleeping dogs alone.

Having said that, the fact that an American citizen has to submit to the behavior of an out of control cop says much about how far America has gone down the path to a police state.

That’s good practical advice, which is why one can only admire a hero who ignores it.

I think they need to be scrutinzed doubly.

They’re given power over us; they need to be regulated and monitored.

That whole Constitutional checks and balances thing seems to get in the way for me.
