All right, we got us a debate going... ;^)

Have you noticed the reasons cops pull you over for these days?  And what
gets used for probable cause?  "Uh, sir, your brake light wasn't working"
or "Uh, you were weaving...is everything ok?" or "Uh, sir, your window
tints seems too dark"   ...see the trend?  A lot of bs excuses to cop a
look (pun intended) in your car because they found it is an effective means
to find wrongdoing via random searches, something that the law otherwise
proscribes.  *I* don't like it *either* when it happens to me, because *I*
haven't done anything wrong *either*.

I've dealt with asshole cops before (and I do what I can about them), and
it sounds like you've had your fair share of them too, I just didn't see
the point in generalizing that all of them ought to be done away with (in
humour or not).

Peace,
Joachim
