Charlie Horse- Fair enough.
Soulja874- I get what you’re saying and no, I haven’t personally experienced the crap I’ve witnessed guys go through with law enforcement.

“Jonathan Villareal, 17, pulled his pants low on his hips after school ended one day in Derby, Kansas. School resource officers spotted him and ordered him to pull his pants back up. Villareal said he could wear them any way he wanted because school was out. Villareal says they then threw him to the ground. Derby Police Chief Robert Lee says Villareal resisted when officers tried to take him back in the school. Regardless, the confrontation ended with Villareal getting Tasered and having his arm broken and his eye swollen shut.”

LOL…so this was just another Tueday night in Houston.
I get asked where I am coming from and/or where I am going whenever I get pulled over at night. Yeah, it’s bullshit…but it is hilarious that everyone else is just now catching on. I would ahve expected a mass response like this back in the lat 80’s…but I guess they weren’t focusing on everyone else yet back then.[/quote]
LOL is right.
Let me be the first to quote you from the “Arnold and Schriver seperation” thread:

I don’t even hate him for it. He didn’t break any laws even reducing that guy’s sentence. Insensitive? Yes.
Politically Incorrect? Yes.
Maybe even downright dirty? Yes.
But illegal? Nope. He got power. He used power.

Was it politically incorrect and insensitive to racially profile you and pull you over? Yes and yes.
Maybe even downright dirty? Yep.
Did the cop break any laws for pulling you over and questioning you? Nope.
The cop had power and he used it.
While I generally agree with what BG has to say, your hipocrisy is outstanding. [/quote]
LOL @ the fact that professor X hasn’t responded to this thread.
Two days go by where he posts in other threads and HIM (of all people) haven’t checked THIS thread?
My fucking balls.

I haven’t read this thread but I will repeat the story a friend told me last fall.
To start, this friend had been in some trouble in the past and spent some time locked up for a cocaine related charge. He was young, but over 18 and under 21. He also had some marijuana charges. We will call him Joe.
Anyway, he was a mess for awhile but was getting his life back together and doing a fairly good job at it. He was back in school and off any and all shit, but still on probation. Another friend of mine had a bit of a grow op going, and was hooking up this other guy a state away. Joe lent him a cooler to move some stuff up to Michigan, which was returned after a trip.
So Joe gets this cooler, throws it in his trunk, and drives within the state back home from his school and ends up getting pulled over. They run his license, see he has a record, ask to search his car, which he refuses, so they call in a dog.
If you haven’t seen the evidence, drug dogs are pretty much worthless and go off the mood of the handler. The last thing I saw on the matter, they had these dogs searching lockers at a school and they indicated something like 37 lockers and no drugs were found.
Anyway, the dog starts going nuts, they pull him out of the car and search his trunk and find the cooler. He’s freaking out at this point thinking something was left in it, which there wasn’t but it stunk to high heaven of dope. So at this point, Joe is like thank god I’m getting out of this, because technically he had done nothing wrong and they had no evidence to charge him with anything.
So, they go in and search the interior of the car, then the officer comes back with a joint. Now, Joe swears up and down that it is not his and that the cop planted it and judging by his efforts to move on and get away from all the stuff he used to do, I tend to believe him. It was a new car, and maybe a passenger dropped it in there, but I doubt it as he was on probation and paranoid about even being around the stuff.
Regardless, they charged him with possession which broke his probation and he was thrown back into a world of legal bullshit for awhile, but is doing just fine now.
Either way, when I heard that I was raging for awhile and a cop would actually do something like that, but I’m sure it happens all the time.

It’s weird that he was convicted based on a search he didn’t agree to.
A couple years ago when I was taking a law course we covered a case where police pulled over a man for one reason, searched the car, and came up with a trunkful of heroine. However, the case was dismissed on grounds that the search was illegal; there was no warrant and the cops had violated the law by searching his car against his will when there was no reason to suspect him.
Maybe the law changed or the state laws differ a bit, but it sounds like your friend needs a better lawyer.
As for standing up to the cops on principle; it’s really pointless. Nothing is going to come of what BG did. Some officers are not going to stop being dicks and questions aren’t going to stop being asked. Officers aren’t going to start being better trained in the law because of this either.
BG was completely in his right to do what he did and the officers didn’t do anything that could get them sued, so really this is just a standard situation where no one was harmed and thus no difference can be made law or training wise. It’s unfortunate for his mental “must prove a point” sake that BG wasn’t roughed up a bit.[/quote]
You’re the states bitch when you’re on probation.
