- 2Posted by richrobinson 10 years, 9 months agoI am just following orders. "I am just doing what the state police tell me to do". These cops need a better understanding of history. This needs to be stopped.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
- 3Posted by $ rockymountainpirate 10 years, 9 months agoI agree. People need to stand up and say enough is more than enough. I'm going to a meet and great for 1 candidate and 1 existing state house rep this evening and see what they have to say. I'll be late, but I will be there. I like talking 1 on 1 with a candidate to see how they engage.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink
- 2Posted by richrobinson 10 years, 9 months agoI talked to a customer earlier who grew up in the south(i didn't think to ask where). She seems to remember this happening years ago when she lived there. I guess if you get away with something long enough you start to think its legal.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink

-- 2Posted by $ Snezzy 10 years, 9 months agoOther reports show that the cop was basically correct, and the driver trying deliberately to yank the cop's strings. <br /><br />Some people need more knowledge of what the police encounter just trying to be decent cops.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink
- 4Posted by $ rockymountainpirate 10 years, 9 months agoI have no problems with yanking their chains in this situation. Since when do Americans need papers to pass lawfully from one place to another? It's the camels nose, just like Marshall Law in Boston. <br /><br /> âWe are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.â <br />Ayn Rand| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink

- 2Posted by richrobinson 10 years, 9 months agoI understand what you are saying but I honestly think if someone challenges them they should let them pass. Going to the trouble and expense of arresting someone for this seems a waste of time and even the cops have to be uncomfortable with it.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink
- 1Posted by CircuitGuy 10 years, 9 months agoI think the officer was correct that this is what he was told to do, and he was a decent person making a decision to follow his instructions, which were highly questionable but nowhere near as bad as defending the Nazis. <br /><br />But all that is NOT the same as "the cop was basically correct."| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink

- 1Posted by CircuitGuy 10 years, 9 months agoWhat is the point of these checkpoints, from the standpoint of people who support them? <br /><br />It seems like they put good officers and citizens in a difficult position. Likening the stops to Nazi atrocities is absurd to me, so I understand why the police go along with them. Police don't have to agree 100% with every law to enforce them and not be Nazis. I don't see what good these laws do, but they make life hard for officers and citizens. <br /><br />The stops also make the average law-abiding citizen less likely to seek out the police if they suspect a crime. There's a huge advantage to having most police officers and most law-abiding citizens trust one another.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
