Maybe you agree with it, like you might agree with punishing shoplifting by cutting peoples hands off, but its tyranny all the same.


I'm more of a cut their tongue out for lying kinda guy.

But seriously, why do you think you were pulled over if you'd done absolutely nothing wrong?

Don't you think the cop thought you were doing something that might qualify as reckless endangerment, but that the circumstances were such that it didn't warrant any punishment because at that moment no one was at risk?

We're not talking about a cop busting you for drug possession with planted drugs, or tapping your phone without a warrant, or holding you for 7 years without trial.

We're talking about a cop who's job is to enforce traffic laws pulling you over to say "hey, what you were doing wasn't safe" and tell you some scare story about the law.

I don't know motorcycle law, but I'm certain the law doesn't say you must have both hands on the wheel of a car or you go to jail for 5 years. It might say driving with no hands on the wheel is punishable with jail time, but that's different.

If you had to have both hands on the wheel at all times, cup holders, manual transmissions, and non-automatic wipers and headlights would be illegal, unless the controls were all mounted so they could be operated without ever pulling your palm off the wheel.

I could easily see there being laws about motorcycles requiring both hands on the bars at all times, but my quick google tells me the cop lied to you. There are laws against carrying a package that prevents you from being able to have both hands on the bars at all times, and possibly if you were needing to constantly keep one hand on your shirt in order to see, that might have qualified.

If the cop had arrested you, it would've been delightfully murky as far as the law was concerned, and the court would've had a chance to set precedent, so the next time it happens there's a little objective clarity about that particular situation.

In America the cops only hug you when they want to plant drugs ;-)

I'll take credit for that!
How's it going, Uhoh?

For those of you that don't understand BillOReilly, he likes to stir the pot a bit. Nobody in their right mind would be that blatantly one sided.


I'm absolutely positive, from experience in my travels and having met many people from all across the USA, that there are people who are that blatantly one-sided.

So the criminal got bit by a dog, oh cry me a river.
And I bet the weed was just way down in his pocket where he was trying to hide it.


Why is it that every conservative voice on VS has to come off as a jerk every time they say something? Devil's advocate?

Oh another cops are fascists post...


Nope. More like "These particular PUBLIC SERVANTS <<cough cough>> in uniform are lying sack of shit CRIMINALS that need to find another line of work. Never mind that they KNEW they were being recorded as well with the police cam, which makes me think they are also mentally challenged. Fucktards.

I know it's a lazy way to draw attention to a post, but it's effective. And no, not all police are fascist or abusive, but these ones certainly seem to be. I really believe strongly in the importance of exposing abuses by those in authority.
