My dad thinks this way and has tested the law much to his demise many times. He once assaulted a cop because he thought it was legal for him to do so on his own property, boy was he wrong. he still gets a 5 day delay when he buys a new gun because of that 20 year old charge.
Guess my point is, dont break the law and if you get lit by a cop just pull over and let him do his thing. I got lit up yesterday on the way home from work becasue the DOT officer passing me didnt see my seatbelt because it was the same color as my shirt. I knew I was in the clear, but he did his thing and didnt take up but 5 minutes of my time. Gave me a chance to snack on the box of fresh catfish I just picked up from chicken express.  |
Same here. I find if I just do what they ask, and be helpful, they don't give me a hard time.
