if you've got nothing to hide, just let him search and prove him wrong.

This part of your post stood out for me. "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear".

I've never gotten a ticket or been written up before, but I'm sure I wouldn't like it as much as the next person. I have been pulled over once, at about 2 AM when I went out for a bite to eat one night when I couldn't sleep. This was way past midnight in empty streets in an otherwise very populated town. I cooperated, I was 21 at that time, license and registration, told me I was going a little too fast, and told me it was just a minor warning and to slow down. What I'm not saying is that everybody should be a goody-two shoes to try and suck it up to a cop. No; in fact, I don't like cops, just by virtue that they have potential to have unrestrained control over you and your rights.

If you browse youtube, you've probably spent a few minutes looking at all the guys who try to prove a point about constitutional rights. I get that, but if you just cooperate, most of the time you'll have a reasonable time dealing with them. If you were speeding, or worse, drinking and driving, well, sorry dude... You should know what's coming. It's your business if you do drugs or like to smoke joints, but you should also very much know what it means if you get caught. As much as I don't believe in authority and hate abusers who leverage against civilians, I hate assholes just as much if not more, including excessive lane-changers and drunk drivers. I'll tell you one thing those youtube-exposé vigilantes do right, and that is they know their Constitutional rights. Which everybody should know, but like me, are too lazy. But you can't say they're also not assholes themselves. Those videos are purposely there to push buttons. And yes, they are know-it-alls, and they make officers' jobs much harder. Just fucking roll your windows down, show your license and registration, and know your boundaries. I'm not saying to consent or allow an illegal search. I hate assholes, but I hate authority-abusers 10x more. I'm saying you should be reasonable. It's obvious when a cop is overstepping his bounds. And if you've got nothing to hide, just let him search and prove him wrong.

Mind you, I live in Long Island, NY, and we have cops here whose job intensity doesn't extend past drunk and unruly teenagers. Same goes for NYPD, I'd say. They have their fair share of serious crime, but I'd say it doesn't hold a candle to LAPD, Detroit, Memphis, etc. Also, about 2-3 times I've encountered cops while wearing my ACU's. If you're in uniform, chances are they're extra extra nice to you (or sometimes the complete opposite). One time some cop tried to swipe me in for a MetroCard because I was carrying a huge rucksack and my other gear. I don't agree with this AT ALL. Sure the preferential treatment is nice, but I think it devalues professionalism, which I really hate when I think about it. You can just tell they'd treat certain people differently. One minute I'm a 21 yr old punk who hates cops and the next I'm an upstanding citizen just because of my uniform? Meanwhile, an ordinary person who is equally innocent is suddenly OMG SUSPECT APPROACH WITH CAUTION. God help you if you're Muslim; can you imagine?

Gotta agree with Patrick, and gotta say I feel sorry for PlasX. Because as much as cops should be professional, if they're tyrants and they're also in uniform, suddenly the asshole factor gets amplified by 100. Fuck dirty cops. There is no place in society for them whatsoever. Seriously, imprisonment is the only solution. And finally, if you're a fat fuck as a cop and you don't hold a desk job, do your city a favor and get out. Lol... For other professions, I couldn't care less, but as a cop, you should know better. Nobody needs a power-tripping authority figure who can't even outrun the real criminals.

I do fully agree with this. While there are a fair share of police brutality videos and what not on youtube, I don't feel that they accurately portray cops. Sure I had one bad run in, but that doesn't include all of my good ones. My first run in involved me sliding on ice and having a fender bender (didnt do any damage to the car I hit, just mine). The cop who came to take care of the situation was amazingly nice, let me drive a nonstreet legal car (head lights were busted) and even drove in front of me and drove to my house to make sure I drove home safe. Mind you this was only a 2 mile drive if that, but that was rather nice of him. As for a solicitation, he gave me the absolute minimum he could in terms of a fine.

Second instance I was on a road I'd never been on commuting to college for my first day and was pulled over for doing 55 in a zone I thought was 55 (was really 45). Told the officer i didn't know the area yet and that I was a freshmen, he told me the speed limit as well as an easier route to get to college from my town, and let me go with a warning. So again, I had 1 extremely bad experience, but maybe that cop was having a bad day. Who knows.

US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security.

THANK YOU BASED OBAMA FOR PROTECTING US CITIZENS FROM THE MUSLIM THREAT
