Appalling Police Action in Palo Alto 4398
That's a good point, Arif. But doesn't it buttume that people know their limitations? If the speed limit is 85, everyone is allowed to drive that...

What to do when you get pulled over by the police 4395
inspection Yeah, I groaned and moaned about teh expired registration, but I didn't make a...

No insurance (insurance company didn't send me my new card), invalid driver's license (license was valid), and no inspection (was still within my 'grace period' and had a sticker to show for it). The cop also made my girlfriend drive home. She did not know how to drive a manual transmission, she did not have her glbuttes, she had only gotten her license a couple weeks ago and had hardly driven at all. She drove on the wrong side of the road during her drivers test too. I told the cop all this, he didn't care... Said she was driving or the car was getting towe dand we would both stay the night in jail.

Then the cop watched from across the street as my girlfriend tried for 20 minutes to get the car going and figure out how to drive it. This was after the cop called in another cop adn they played good cop-bad cop with my girlfriend trying to get her to say that I had taken her against her will and raped her or was going to rape her. She was terrified and thought we were both going to jail. She drove a couple miles away with me shifting and steering for her, then we switched placed and I drove us home.

When I went to court I showed them my documents and told my story, they dismissed all the tickets. I went to file a complaint and the judge told me not to bother as they would just throw it out and it would enver see the light of day.

Which laws do you suggest breaking so you dont look suspicious? I generally follow all the speed limits and stop at stop signs, and all of that...

Between this and the experience I had spending several hours in a gas station parking lot after midnight being harbutted by cops trying to get me to admit to being DUI or having drugs in my car. That was for several hours until a Lieutenant came along and say waht the officers were doing, quickly asked me a few quistions and then got all his pigs to leave real quick, before I thought to get badge numbers and such. I was scared like I've never been scared before. Shaking in fear and from the freezing cold. They made me stand outside barefoot for several hours on the cold pavement in only my sweatpants, t-shift and a jacket as the temperatures dipped towards freezing. Why was I stopped you ask? Well finally right before they left the officer who stopped me claimed I was "all over the road". The real reason is most likely that it was after midnight and I was driving 5 MPH or so under the speed limit, just going for a relaxing cruise in my Galaxie on my way home from taking my girlfriend home.

Line of sight remotes
Old Wolf I would guess that a lot of it is down to the fact that we use remote control for so many things...

So between those two experiences I totally hate police officers. I feel the world would be a much better place without scumbags like that. There are better ways of policing our society than sleazy 'people' with no respect for anyone or anything (especially the law). Before those two experiences I had no problem with the police. I looked up to them and respected them. Now I hate, loathe and despise them. I think it's reaonable to buttume experiences like those are enough to make most people dislike and not trust the police.
