So the real question is, what is it with people thinking that cops and the current legal system in place is actually there to help them and protect them? Hmmmmmm???? |
the law happens in court. Right or wrong, not doing what a police officer says is not a good idea. If he wants to look inside your bag, telling him about your right to not be searched like you are teaching him a lesson will get you the handcuff sit on the curb while he talks to his partner about the game.
This sort of shit only works if you actually are a lawyer and can name your firm you work for. Police spend a good deal of time in court houses. It isn't hard to tell when someone read your rights and what they mean to you : intro to law abridged with pictures.That or there are lots of witnesses. Unfortunately if you are alone , the police can and will do what ever they want which usually depends on how much of a douche bag you look like. Like do you look like the kind of person someone would pay to slap.
I find cops at least where i live pretty reasonable. As long as you are polite and just suck it up , you will be fine. Of course i'm not 18 and I look like I pay my taxes so perhaps i get treated better because i look like the kind of guy you would want to introduce to your sister and shit.
