[QUOTE="WTF, post: 6617901, member: 29178"] I guess I don't get it. When is it that you are innocent in the eyes of the law? Sometimes it's easiest to explain by example but lets not focus on my example only because it's true for any, as you put it, "allegation" you receive from a LEO. The issue is compounded when you factor in attorney fees, holding cells, bail bond fees, continued days missed from work, the months of anxiety, etc, etc. A while back, a good friend of mine received a ref ticket. This person when out of his way to ensure his parts were California legal with CARB certs and EO numbers displayed on each modification to his car. As you probably know, most mods aren't CARB legal and usually you have to pay more for the product that is and/or they don't perform as well as those that didn't bother paying the "tax" (because we all know, it's really about money). The LEO didn't even care nor knew anything about cars well enough to prevent him getting the ticket. He showed him the EO numbers but the LEO wasn't having it. He simply gave him the ticket and said, I'll let the ref sort all that out. Now I understand it isn't the job of the LEO to be an expert on car modifications. And sure enough the ref did pass him. But how is that fair when he had to miss work to have it taken care of? What happens when the next LEO tells him to pop the hood without any knowledge or care? He gets to be inconvenienced with this, loses money, (missed work = loss of money) every time just because the LEO continuously suspects he's breaking the law? If the LEO doesn't even understand what he's looking at, how can he just assume a law is being broken? There needs to be some sort of recourse! If someone is "not-guilty" as this person was found here, how is it fair? Or is it, sorry buddy, life isn't fair, you lose? You can see why people give attitudes when they're being pulled over... because the officers allegation is a huge inconvenience. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. Even if you win, you still lost because of said reasons above on my second paragraph. The bottom line is, the system is broken. Very broken. And to those who blindly support it, tooth and nail (ie. LEO nutswingers), to acknowledge these facts and still be OK with it, I sincerely question your judgment and character. [/QUOTE]
