[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 11270819, member: 116684"] Interesting read at the least. I'm not a big fan of of infringing on personal liberties, but it's not a pretty picture. When I was working 2nd shift I'd get out real late, and often stop somewhere on the way home, maybe get something to eat and have it in my car. On a few occasions a cop (county sheriff) would pull up, ask me what I was doing and tell me to get out while he ran my information. (Sidenote: You'd think someone parked outside a fast food place eating wouldn't be terribly suspicious.) Both times he asked "Can I search your car?" I told him "I'm not required to give you permission, am I?" Keep in mind I had nothing to hide, I just wanted to get home. The response I got put it into perspective. "Well you can either let me search it now, or you can wait for backup to get here and we can do it the hard way. Do you have anything to hide?" Of course I answered "No." and let him rifle through my car. Over 45 min after he first approached me he let me go after finding absolutely nothing. What really ticked me off was I have a roadside emergency kit packed neatly in a box, and I had to pack everything back up. The second time I wised up and just let him go to town right off the bat. At least that time I didn't have to re-pack my roadside kit. Although this guy was more of a pain. He first pulled me over at about midnight because "It's awfully late for you to be out." when I was heading to McDonalds. He didn't search, just ran plates and sent me on my way. He actually waited for me to pass him on the way back to pull me over again and verify I had actually gotten McDonalds food, then search my car. :dw: As sad as it is, it's just more convenient to let them.
