And even if it is fair game, the last thing I want in the middle of the day is some stranger calling the police and me having to spend an hour explaining why it's my right to do so.
- lowbloodsugar 5y ago"Am I free to go?" No? That'll be $$$$ then. No need to explain anything to the cop, and in fact you shouldn't say anything. "Am I free to go?" "No?" "Ok, I invoke my right to silence and I want my lawyer". The media and propaganda have done an amazing job convincing citizens that we have to explain our totally legal behavior. No. It is up to them to identify a crime that is being committed and if not, then just ignore them. Be prepared to get arrested. Now, if you aren't absolutely sure that you aren't breaking the law, then stop fantasizing about winning an argument with a cop (GP).
- maccard 5y agoYeah you see thats _exactly_ what I don't want my morning to turn in to. It doesn't matter if I'm right if it's going to ruin my day/week/relationship with my kids school.
- lowbloodsugar 5y agoYeah, btw I am agreeing with you and disagree with GP! (Actually I think I knee jerk reacted to you and by then time I had finished reasoning it out, I agreed with you!)
