Reply #21: Cop has the right to ask, you have the right to refuse,

[MadHound]

But then does the cop have the right to further detain you while he calls in the canine unit? Does the K-9 handler have the right to get the dog to do a "fake" alert in order to provide the police with an excuse to toss your car? Do the police have the right to literally tear your car apart in a search, whether they find anything or not? And finally, do cops have the right to pull you over, even though you have broken no law?

Sorry, but these are abuses that occur all the time, some of which are actually codiefied into law(see my link above for the notion that a once over by a K-9 unit isn't even considered a "search" as covered by the Fourth Amendment.

Tell you what OMC, let your hair and beard grow for awhile, change the color of your skin, go out and do a bit of a weave *in your lane*(this is legal to do. Watch how fast you get pulled over. Then, as you're sitting by the pile of rubble that was your car, you can post to us some more about how cops are all sweetness and light:eyes:
