    Lemmy is turning into Reddit…“if I was a cop…” lol…I mean, we live in a day and age where people are being taught NOT to respect or listen to cops. This is what actually happens when you’re not obeying the officer. It doesn’t matter if your a millionaire athlete, or some homeless dude… you don’t talk back and ignore cops if you’ve been pulled over and/or detained.

      You’re part of the problem. Why should cops have this power over us? I bet you like to say stuff about liking small government and talk about how bad tyranny is too, and somehow don’t see how those beliefs contradict your support of cops having total power.

        Did you watch the video? Hill rows up his window and ignores the cop… the cop doesn’t know if dude has a gun in there or not… it’s now about “having power over us” it’s about having law and order. Our laws and order is what keeps us from becoming a third world country. The minute you start allowing people to disobey law enforcement, not care, or ignore them… you lose that law and order. If you think cops have “power” over us, you’re spending too much time on Lemmy and Reddit…

          Our laws don’t say anything about being polite. The attorneys I’ve heard talk about the subject say to crack the window just enough to pass over your information and to not engage with the officers, besides telling them you’re evoking your fifth amendment right to remain silent and not answering questions.

      You think that’s okay?

        That cop doesn’t know if Hill has a weapon in the vehicle, a gun, something… you don’t roll up your windows and ignore a police officer when you’ve been stopped for breaking the law.

      Why? I mean seriously, why do you think that? Should we be afraid of them because they can abuse their authority?

        Who’s afraid of cops? You? I’m not…I’m a minority myself, I’ve never once felt afraid. I’ve been pulled over before. the difference is I don’t get confrontational with them, ignore them or fight back…
