"We're setting the dogs on your car!" What's the proper response in this case?

[PaulConventionWV]

Just comply? Like my friend did when we were 18, and the cops stuffed a 1/2 ounce of pot in his car? That Felony conviction hasn't gone away.

Or how about the time I complied when I was 20-and lost my job because of it, because the assholes kept me held up for over an hour tearing my car apart?

Just COMPLY????!!!!! Move to China man-they'd love to have you. You can comply all you want there, and you won't even be bothered with making that choice.

How did you lose your job? You'd think they would be understanding as long as you weren't arrested or charged with anything. Were you?

 

[PaulConventionWV]

What is it about your lifestyle that causes you to get pulled over in the first place ?

It means you use a vehicle.

No I wasn't charged with anything.....

And sure..."you'd think" every employer has common sense, however they do not.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

Methinks that would not have gone over well, and besides...I love my car.

They would charge you with littering.

Oh, and probably obstruction of justice and a bunch of other stuff.

I've been on a grand jury several times and more than once, an LEO who came into witness on a bill admitted if they have someone who they think is suspicious, they will follow them around until they do something, even minor. One of the most common causes they said was pulling too far forward at a stop sign or light. If you cross that line (even by a fraction) they have an excuse to pull you over. Of course, in a grand jury, they made it sound like they were heroes doing this to keep scum off the street.

Exactly. Some years ago, an officer came to my high school for a presentation about LE and was literally bragging about the fact that he could pull you over for just about anything.

lolwut? I only asked if you're ok w/ them using bullshit excuses to get all up in your prostate. heh, "prostate" has "pro state" in it.

Yes, I know a lot of people who have pro-state cancer.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

You will not be compensated for any damages during a drug search.

But it's not a search.

But it's not a search.

I'm gonna use this. "Rush?! Dude's sick in the head, he's got pro-state cancer.".

 

[PaulConventionWV]

That's the reason police officers can use dogs on your car even if you don't consent to a search. They can't have it both ways.
