this is no joke folks..i drive an 18 wheeler from west monroe, la to livingston, ala and back 5 times per week..i see people all the time, with small children, standing on the shoulder of the road while 2 to 4 young, gung-ho taliban cops rummage thru their possessions. I just shake my head..a couple of yrs back, my grown son was a cashier at a video poker place here in monroe, la..he did associate with some undiserables..and always was stopped and agreed to a search..since they never found anything, they let him go..his car broke down and he was using my old fishing truck..west monroe city cop spied him one morning coming in from work and stopped him, just to check the registration..i had told him to never let anyone search his vehicle without a warrant. I worked for La. Dept. of corrections at the time, and my son told the officer that his dad told him that under no circumstances was anyone to search his truck without a warrant.. the cop got really pissed and stated that he could get a warrant..my son told him..to go get it..he was tired anyway and would sleep till he got back..the taliban ranted and raved about 5 more minutes and then let him go and he has not been stopped since!!!

Good for your son! He and you both have the right attitude!

I was stopped once on my discharge day from the Army. I had a Toyota pickup loaded with everything I owned (it had a camper top). I was stopped along with about ten other cars for a "license" check. The cop examined my license and handed it back. He then asked "What's in the back?". I looked him straight in the cheesy sunglasses and said "Nothing that concerns you". He got really snippy, but in the end had to let me go. I was the last of the ten cars to pull away, and by the time I left he had his other two pals there, practically raving at how I was some kind of loon and how they would "find out anyway". Yeah, sure, no warrant, no search. Screw'em.

GOOD FOR YOU!!

I have posted this story before, so some may have seen it. Anyway:

One time, a very good friend of mine was pulled over by an unmarked police car while in-town. The cop comes to the car, and my friend had the window already rolled down, waiting for him. My friend asks what the problem was. The cop kind of chuckled and said, "You know". mY friend kind of chuckled and said, "No, I really don't". The cop says again, "You know" while pointing at a nearly finished cigar that my friend had been smoking. My friend immediately starts laughing and says, "You think this is marijuana, dont you.... you think I'm smoking a blunt?". The cop asks to see the cigar and asks my friend out of the car. He handed it to him, and got out. The cop unwrapps whats left of it on the hood of the car, smells it a bunch, and looks kind of pissed when he realizes its not pot. The entire time, my friend was just babbling how he is "an honest, law abiding citizen and has done nothing wrong(he knew the law, had nothing illegal, and wanted to mess with the cop a little). The cop then says(no joke), "Well, can I search your car". My friend starts to say "Yes", but then says, "No, wait, you don't have that right. No, you can't search my car". Cop gets even more pisses now. Gives him a lecture(that my friend swears must have been five minutes long) on how an "honest, law-abiding citizen" should have no problem. They aregue for a few more minutes, and my friend, almost hysterically laughing says, "Go ahead... search it.... do whatever". The cop says(again, no joke), "No. Im not going to. Consider this your free one". My friend says he just laughed, turned around, got in his car and drove off.

Cops are shameless, but if you know the law, they know they are screwed.
