DUI Checkpoint Video

I asked the question on page 5.

"If a cop comes to my house and wants to search it for drugs, and I say "no - not until you go get a warrant" - is that me being a dick? Should that be enough reason for him to have enbough suspicion to be allowed in?"

I have yet to get an answer. All I have gotten is several distracting questions back, something about peanuts, and mocking. It's a simple yes or no question. I have explained all of the details to GF and he still says he doesn't know what the answer is.

That is because the correct answer is you of course should not let the cop in just because he demands to come in. But the pro cop folks refuse to admit that. It would also undermine their car theory, even if just a tad. So they won't answer the question.

Why would a cop come to your house to begin with? They dont show up.on my door step and I have a bunch of weed and pills.

We all know that some cops are corrupt. What is this proving?

Thanks Serpico ;)

GF told me he has a better chance of being struck by lightening... I would imagine evidence get planted more often than people get struck by lightening.

Whats your point?

Yeah, but evidence doesn't get planted on a white kid (assuming you're white) in the suburbs.

But if you agree that there are corrupt cops, then why would anyone ever willingly let them search their private property?

I've already explained this

So, Sturg... have you at least come around to the realization that the kid in the car was acting like a jackass. I mean you did open the door and weren't looking for a fight like this kid was. This is why he was a jackass and you weren't. Based on your description, you weren't looking for a fight.

I think the kid was trying to make a point. The cop basically played right into his hands... Could all of it have been avoided? Sure. But that doesn't excuse how the cop reacted to a person exercising their rights.

Because I am not afraid of the Cops planting evidence on me. Its an effed up world but its not going to happen to me.

THIS IS A NO SPIN ZONE!! THE SPIN STOPS HERE! ANSWER THE QUESTION!

[sturg33]

No. I don't believe the kid was acting like a jack ass

And that's why people don't take people who complain about these things seriously. Because folks can never admit to gradation.

you might want to explain "gradation" to these peeps in this scenario. I understand you, but that is a word, some people do not understand the full meaning. Black folks do though. <wink>

I think black people have a problem with gradation, that's why so many of them have ****ty jobs

<sigh>

No kidding.

don't tell Steak Sauce, he thinks it is a conspiracy against blacks. My cuz in Atlanta is in charge of one of your major companies. He told me that he made them spend 1.4 mil to change their system and they let him do it and now they are prospering. He said with my skills, he couldn't understand why I am not at his level. I said, well, my wife refuses to live in any area that has poisonous stuff, meaning nothing in the south and she runs the house. Eff all of you if you think I am p whipped. She gave me two kids when I didn't think I would have any more and they are more precious than being p whipped.

I might have to move to Minneapolis if I don't get what I want soon.

So we have a difference of opinion on what constitutes a "jackass." If you ask me, the cop was clearly a jackass. The kid was was arrogant and wanted to prove a point. The kid won. The cop lost.

[Metaphysicist]

But you always consider the cop the jackass.

[sturg33]

But you always consider the cop the jackass.

Of course, that is not the case
