This guy is a big, big jerk

So you think he's a jerk for exercising his rights. How sad.

“So you think he’s a jerk for exercising his rights. How sad.”

If you agree with what this guy did then you have an infantile mind just like his. Two peas in a pod.

I watched the whole video to the end and the guy was not doing anything wrong, which the cops had to admit at the end and let him walk away unmolested. It makes you think about how we are conditioned to comply with this kind of crap just to prove that you're not breaking the law.

When I was in college, I was once pulled over by a cop and subjected to the most ridiculously invasive questioning. I guess he was looking for drunk drivers, and I was just returning from a study session at a coffee shop with a classmate. It was late, but I knew I had not been drinking anything but coffee and was not speeding. The guy wanted to know where I had been, who I had been with, what I had been doing, where was I headed. I answered his questions until I finally got pissed off. "I am not doing anything wrong, why are you detaining me?" "I'm not detaining you. Have a nice night." It was CREEPY, yet I realized later...I'm a good girl, and I answered his questions because I'm a good girl, when I had every right NOT to.

This guy should be taking pictures of the Judges home as he/she walks out for work. It is what Henry Bowman would be doing before the balloon goes up.

Not so much for exercising rights, but for poking the bear with a stick. He has the right to do it, but that does not necessarily make it the right thing to do. And the police response was not proportional, but it was expected.
