[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pedro: [QB] I normally stay out of flame wars, but I cannot let this go unsead. <flame> In other words, the Police should be able to do whatever they like to me. If I choose to cooperate, for example, with an unjustified search of my car, they get to search it. If I choose not to cooperate, that's an indication that I'm a criminal, I waived my rights, and they get to search it. This is just plain stupid, it sucks. I make a decent example here. I have long hair, I look like a hippie, live in a nice neighborhood, and drive a nice car. Police quite obviously follow me regularly, and I [b]have[/b] been pulled over for no apparent reason (the reason given was that I appeared to be driving around randomly, which was utter B.S.). This police officer was quite rude to me, and I was rude right back. He had nothing on me, so nothing happened, but by your logic, he should have had the right to search me whether or not I agreed, because I show some of the 'signs' (in his narrow minded book) of being a drug user/dealer (long scruffy hair, cruddy clothes, nice car, driving mysteriously {actually, I missed a turn and went around the block}). Further, if I flat out refused to let him search me, he should be justified in cracking my head with at stick?!?!?!?!?!?! Yeah, sure, that sounds just great to me.... And what's this?: "(I'm not trying to project a racist attitude, but I will say it is not my fault that one race is more criminally inclined than another. That is just my observation.)" Sorry, Cargile, but that IS racism, flat out. Has it ever occured to you that some 'races' are more likely to get involved in crime because of the excessive hardships that society (and people like [b]you[/b]) put on them? Send your kid to go grow up in the inner city ghetto with no money, gang related crime and pressure all around him, we'll see if he turns into the shiny, militaristic, law abiding, wholesome gem that you are. I suspect that your brain is filled with these insane ideas because of the environment in which you were raised, so you should be able to identify (at least a bit) with people who grow up around crime being criminals. If you look at history on a larger scale, you'll see that 'white' folks have done a heck of a lot more heinous killing than anyone else. </flame> [/QB][/QUOTE]
