I would never have conceded that driving is a privilege... They can beat the crap out of me if they want and they'll answer to God for it. Only a total idiot* would think that "driving is a privilege and not a right" is actually an argument.
*Talking about the cop here, not the civilian. Obviously the civilian just wanted to get through at that point. But I would have never given up that point. My rights are given to me by God, and that scumbag cop has no right to take them away.
How do these cops look themselves in the mirror, or get themselves to sleep at night? They are villains.
