"Can we search your belongings?" "Why? Do you have reasonable suspicion to?" "We do now."
When obeying the law and defending your rights becomes suspicious and cause for interrogation, 1984 has arrived.
When driving at or under the speed limit at 2 am gets you pulled over you realize how close we are to a police state.
Edit: I know the first bit is illegal but it happens. The police just make up some bs to cover their butts.
- smsm42 14y agoUnfortunately, you are right on the bs part - just recently SC declared that police drug dogs are always 100% accurate despite clear evidence to the contrary, and as such can be used as a probable cause. So we have a situation where we made a step forward with requiring probable cause, and step back with allowing the police to invent it by signaling a trained dog to bark. Maintaining liberty is never easy.
