But cops have begun violating citizen's rights with impunity. No refusal DUI checkpoints? Forced blood extraction? Drug dogs trained to make false alerts for permission to search vehicles?
These officers were cool and didn't violate his rights, and that's awesome, but that is not the case universally. And when an asshole cop starts infringing on your rights, you should have the liberty to ask questions, protest, or defend yourself. The ones that smash your window and beat you up are the ones who were already violating your rights in the first place, not the cool policebros who are just trying to catch criminals.

"These things aren't problems for people who aren't breaking the law."

This right here. This mindset. Is so ******* poisonous. Read Orwell's 1984.

Alright, cool. So if you're not breaking any laws, you shouldn't WANT any privacy. I mean, what are you trying to hide? Let's put cameras inside every single house in the country. People who don't break the law shouldn't have any problem with this. Let's put cameras inside every single room inside every single house. People who don't break the law shouldn't have any problem with this. Let's also implement GPS trackers so the government knows where exactly you are 24/7. Unless you're a wanted fugitive, you should be totally cool with the government knowing where you are, every single second. Right?

"If you don't drive drunk, traffic stops aren't a problem."
"If you don't conduct illegal activities in your home, constant surveillance isn't a problem."

If you agree with either of those statements, you don't understand individual liberties or the entirety of the 4th Amendment.
If you agree with just one of those statements, you're a hypocrite.

I don't drink and drive. Having to stop and prove it, after doing absolutely NOTHING to raise suspicion about it, is a minor, inconvenient waste of time.
I also don't sell drugs out of my home. Having to prove it via living my entire life on camera, again, after doing absolutely NOTHING to raise suspicion about it, would be a major inconvenience, and something I wouldn't want to subject myself to.

You can't really compare those two. If you are at home you don't pose a threat to anybody. If you are driving 1500kg at lethal speeds care needs to be taken.

Driving drunk isn't anything trivial, it's a HUGE problem because the world is full of egocentric assholes. Driving a car is not a right, it's a privilege and you can't kick caution out the window just because you are doing it every day.

Call me a sheep but I think in cases like this it's okay to infringe on rights to some degree to protect others. Don't blame the cops for that, blame the assholes who keep driving drunk

This is retarded. I've read that book and I agree with it as what something could be if allowed to be taken to the extreme, but what you fail to realize is how you think one is interchangable to the other, which it isn't.

"If you don't drive drunk, traffic stops aren't a problem"
"If you don't conduct illegal activities in your home, constant surveillance isn't a problem"

The issue here-in, is that driving drunk is dangerous, and has repercussions against you, and against innocent bystanders. So yes I want traffic stops because driving drunk is still my problem EVEN WHEN IM NOT THE ONE DOING IT.

As for conducting illegal activities in you're home, I don't give a **** what you do there. Whoever is there is there of their own accord, unless they were kidnapped. That's why I'd agree with surveillance on the street but not in the home. Don't make it an ultimatum. It's about ******* traffic stops, and you jump down our throat to 'home surveillance 24/7'. Why not take it a step further. Why didn't you just say there were thinkpol. I could have passed by your comment, and I would have never had to call you a massive faggot, but no, you had to go one step below so it actually sounded legitimate.

The only part that makes a shred of sense is that last bit. Yes, it is a minor 'inconvenient' 'waste of time'. Please inform me what patient you were about to preform emergency heart surgery on, doctor, because I highly doubt this 30 second stop with the police, and what, a two minute wait, really takes away anything from your day. While you state that the camera's would be a MAJOR inconvenience. You said it yourself. the two things are different in magnitude of inconvenience, so why ******* compare them.

And no, actually, they wouldn't be any more inconvenient than the ******* traffic stop. They'd take up a small space of your home. **** , in this day and age you'd barely even notice them. So, what, you can't masturbate in the living room anymore cause someone's watching? What a god damned pussy.

Sovereign Citizens can eat my ass, I have a hardy laugh whenever I see some ******* on youtube hollering 'I do not consent'. ****** , you think the cop give a **** ? He's just a man like you, and he wants to do his god damned job, and if he doesn't? Potentially get fired, or someone gets killed. This man knew that, He was transparent, and he co-operated, which is why he isn't swiss cheese, and twitter isn't all up in their self-righteous haughtiness with butthurt.

while i agree with with almost everything you said, i hate when people say it only takes out 2 minutes of your time, so you should care about it. That is right up until everything takes 2 minutes of your, i`ve got stuff to do on my own everyday and there is ussually people and rules like this that takes up 2-10 minutes everyday, so no 2 minutes alone isnt much, but when you think about there are lot of things that take up 2 minutes everyday/everytime and when it adds up it takes a couple of hours everyday and that becomes somwhere beetween major and minor inconvience and THAT is irratating.

You are wrong.
They stop everyone, they'll pull you over if you're suspicious (which could be dependent on your race or vehicle) and they'll detain you without cause. Oh, and if you choose to drive around one because you're in a hurry, then you get pulled over for avoiding a checkpoint.
The problem with these checkpoints is that they treat everyone like a criminal at first, and then let the non-criminals go, and that's not how it's supposed to work.

Now, if they put GPS trackers in cars driven by DUI offenders, and pulled over those people, then that'd be a different story. But they'll pull you over without cause just because you're driving down a busy highway on a holiday night.

The cause is that you are driving down a busy highway on a holiday night. It's a reasonable assumption that a decent portion of the people traveling on that highway that night are intoxicated to some degree.
DUI checkpoints don't have everyone who goes through subjected to a sobriety test. Its like going through a toll booth that moves a little bit slower. If someone in front of you has actually been drinking and you get stuck there, congrats you're stuck in traffic. Sucks but its not an infringement of your rights.

Now, a mandatory GPS tracker that ensures you'll be pulled over whenever you pass through a specific area/during a specific time, that would be a real infringement of people's rights.

Stereotyping is not an acceptable form of law enforcement. We can use it to establish base reactions to new people, but shouldn't be used to justify pulling them over and infringing on their rights.
And yeah, DUI checkpoints don't detain everyone, but they detain a lot of innocent people as well. The cops pick and choose who gets a sobriety test at a checkpoint, not unlike the TSA deciding which attractive women and arabs get pulled over for "additional screening."
"Driving" is not an acceptable reason to be stopped and investigated. "Swerving" is, and "driving without headlights," sure, but not "I'm trying to get home."

So what if you are perfectly sober and a cop pulls you over to check you on a holiday evening? If you're fine and act appropriately, nothing will happen. No rights are being infringed upon by being randomly stopped on a cop's hunch.

Obviously a cop is going to pull over a vehicle that is swerving or otherwise driving suspiciously, but an intoxicated driver won't always swerve. Some drivers under the influence will drive straight but have very delayed reaction time to a situation that a sober person would handle fine. Hell, a drunk driver could drive just fine until they make that one mistake that kills themselves or another person, or both.

You are making a big deal about being detained, almost like it's the equivalent of being arrested. A detainment is simply an officer keeping a person within their influence for a specific purpose. Trust me, I've worked with cops a lot, and they've got better things to do than waste their time grilling a sober and safe driver.

"No rights are being infringed upon by being randomly stopped on a cop's hunch. "
Yes, they are. They don't have the right to stop and interrogate you without cause or reason. You have the right to proceed unimpeded, which the cop is violating for no reason.
Imagine a completely sober person who might be late for an important function, and thus gets anxious when stopped (keep in mind that oftentimes cops will wait quite a while before getting out of their vehicle; traffic stops rarely take less than 10 or 15 minutes). That anxiety might seem suspicious, which then prompts the cop to delay they even further. Before long, the person is not only late for their function, but stressed and distracted while attempting to get there. That person's rights have been violated because the officer wanted to pull someone over for no reason, and that's wrong.
The fact remains that cops need a specific, justifiable reason to pull you over. Driving on a holiday is no better a reason than driving while black. It is wrong of them to pull you over when you've done nothing wrong and given them no reason. It's one thing if it was a mistake or misunderstanding on their part, like if you're driving beside a similar vehicle and the cop pulls you over on accident. That's a human error, and should be forgiven. But setting up a road block to stop, harass, and question people without cause or reason is just wrong (morally and ethically if nothing else).

"They don't have the right to stop and interrogate you without cause or reason."
The cause and reason is that they are doing random stops to up the chances of removing a potentially dangerous driver off the road.

"You have the right to proceed unimpeded"
Where is that right stated anywhere in the law? If a cop stops a person because he wants to make sure that they aren't a potential risk to the public, then he's doing his job.

"Imagine a completely sober person..."
This whole bit about the sober person getting pulled over and being anxious over missing an important function due to a traffic stop is anecdotal. Don't play the hypothetical card for what is definitely a minority occurrence and try to push it as a rational argument.

"The fact remains that cops need a specific, justifiable reason to pull you over. Driving on a holiday is no better a reason than driving while black."

They have a specific, justifiable reason for stopping a person at a DUI checkpoint: to check you for being a potential risk to other drivers on the road. If you aren't, congrats, you lose twenty minutes at the maximum and continue on your way. If you are, the system works.

"Setting up a road block to stop, harass "
Stop. You're acting like you're some kind of special case and that being inconvenienced by police activity is below you. Get off your high horse and let them do their job; just because you aren't any danger to people on the road doesn't mean that they shouldn't random stop people on the chance they get one that is.

Explain how that's morally and ethically wrong.

Also, why charge the taxpayers? Charge the drunk driver for the cost of the devices used to observe him.

I don't think "The right to avoid stopping for police" is Isa specific right, I could be wrong though looking at it from from a Canadian perspective.

But the other thing it's, it's not just about catching DUI drivers, it's about Police presence. It makes the community at large feel safe and let's people know that their police force is actively out there trying to catch the bad guys.

Also, how many times have you been forced to draw blood? Seems to me like if they were looking for people impaired by Alcohol they would use a breathalyzer. The only logical reason for it would be looking for people in paired by illegal and dangerous drugs, which would only occur in area where that would be Bea priority issue. It costs 300$ here in Canada to test urine, can't imagine blood would be cheaper in the American Healthcare system.

It's not "the right to not stop for police" but rather "the right to proceed with your business without harassment or unwarranted detention." Cops are supposed to need a reason to pull you over, stop you, interrogate you, detain or arrest you. Following the law doesn't give them that reason. These DUI checkpoints are unwarranted and performed without reason. They can and occasionally WILL pull you aside for more info, based on things like your race, your vehicle, or the contents of the interior of your car. None of which are valid reasons to be pulled over in the USA.
I have yet to meet anyone in person who supported the idea of DUI checkpoints. Most people don't care, or suggested that such things should be arranged just outside of bars and pubs, but most people don't "feel safe" when there's a bunch of cops hanging around the neighborhood, ESPECIALLY with all the police brutality being documented and shared on the internet now.
We want them to do something productive, like catch criminals, not loiter on the highway harassing people.
The forced blood draw is a last resort when someone refuses OR PASSES a breathalyzer test. Once the officers decide it's required, you are thoroughly ****** and resisting can get you further fines or penalties. Granted, this happens to a small percentage of the population, but it does happen and it is wrong.
I am sure the process is expensive in every way, including lawyers and court costs, but the US government is already overspending by TRILLIONS of dollars so **** it, why bother being frugal?

True. My stance is that cops are just people, and some people are bad. Thus, some cops are bad. Most are fine and reasonable individuals. But, as many studies have shown, fine and reasonable people will harm, torture, or otherwise mistreat others when instructed to do so by an "authority figure" (the police chief in this case).

And yeah, I can't imagine what will happen if Trump gets elected. Fortunately, I don't think he actually has a shot; he makes the news frequently, but it's almost never positive. Even if he does get elected, the government is so effectively hobbled right now that all of his "promises" will be as empty and useless as Trump's sense of humility.
Basically, he's got plenty of bark, and he wants to bite, but he'll be on one hell of a leash so he's not really a threat.

You might not mind 20 minutes, but that's only your opinion, and shouldn't be applied to the civilian masses as a whole. And there are better, less offensive, less invasive options, like having the same number of police on staff those nights, but patrolling a larger area rather than stopping every vehicle on a single road.
Yeah, I might be a little bit of an anarchist, maybe even a little bit paranoid (hard to not be when cops are throwing flashbangs into the cribs of sleeping children and getting away with it) but at least I'm not taking the narcissistic viewpoint of thinking that the injustices I don't mind should be applied to everyone.
If you let the police take away the rights of others, who will protect your rights when the time comes? America is still a young country, and ******* up on a regular basis, but brainwashed ideology and blind lemming logic are just leading everyone down the wrong path.

I assume you never saw slightly drunk person driving a car. You can trust me, that you wouldn't notice he's drunk, until something happens because has slower reflexes than he would normally have. Not every drunk person is swerving through 5 lanes hitting everything in sight. The only chance to identify most of drunk drivers is by doing pre-emptive DUI checks.

>Yeah, I might be a little bit of an anarchist,....
you base whole your discussion on few things that happen. With this analogy you can make Hitler look like a good person. You shouldn't base your opinions on few things that happened, but on the fact, that there are many times more bad things going on, that they are protecting you from (drunk, drivers, thieves, burglars, murderers, rapists etc etc). Plus I'm 100% sure that cop didn't come next to crib, saw a baby in it and threw there a flashbang.

>Taking away rights and other ********
Each right comes with obligation. You're not the only one I see that would be so ******* happy to have all his rights, but without any obligations, but that's not how it works, nor ever will. To be honest, I've seen this kind of reaction going on with teenagers and few americans (no offence guys). You want to be so free, have it all, but also you want to be safe. You don't want cops to check if you're drunk as **** , but you want them, to catch drunk drivers. You don't want them to check your weapon permits, but you want them to stop illegal weapon markets. What kind of logic is that? If you want to see what it's like to have useless police force, move to Russia.

What about when you're not breaking ANY laws, you get a random order barked at you from outside your field of range, you turn to identify the source of the order (I mean, if you heard someone yell "HANDS UP" while you, yourself are NOT committing ANY crimes, would you IMMEDIATELY put your hands up, or would you think "what the **** is going on"? Again, you don't have ANY IDEA if's an officer, all you know is a loud voice.) and then get shot before you even realize the police were addressing you?
Is it the non-cop's fault then? Because, in John Crawford's case, he legitimately did nothing wrong. He carried around a BB gun in a walmart, was on the phone looking at shampoos when he heard "FREEZE!" and as he turned, again, to see what the **** was going on, he got shot. No officers were charged. He died because he was carrying a toy gun, over his shoulder, in a Walmart. Tell me, how many times do you see an active shooter in a Walmart, with people calming shopping around said "open shooter"? I mean, most people are scared of gun-wielding lunatics, right? They don't inch around them to grab their favorite conditioner. But somehow, the cops totally missed the fact that there were no panicking shoppers ANYWHERE, even though they were responding to a FALSE report saying the man had an "AR-15" and was threatening shoppers with it.

Yeah, great police work. Hope they patrol my Walmart. But God forbid I buy a broom. They might pump me full of lead, too.

Serious conversation aside, you haven't hung around a lot of children, have you? They master the sarcastic "yes ma'am, no ma'am" at about age 8 or so.

Back on the topic at hand, you are correct in that politeness and courtesy are the best ways to handle such a situation. But the fact remains that the situation shouldn't even arise in the first place.
If a madman bursts into my house with an assault rifle, you can best believe I'll treat him as politely as possible while looking for a way to get away from him or incapacitate him somehow. My manners would put Alfred Pennyworth to shame. But I'd rather just not have him coming into my house in the first place.
The USA has been taking liberties away from the civilians and giving them to the government, military, and "law enforcement" for a while now. At what point will we realize that the correct response is to protest these injustices, rather than to accept them with a smile and a "thank you sir, may I have some more?"

Yeah, police almost everywhere else seem to be pretty cool. But America and the "pro-guns" mindset means that everything's played for higher stakes. This stupid "war on drugs" lol, the government is losing a war against some plants has escalated things as well, and America's rather large and diverse gang / "threat group" affiliations makes the cops unjustly paranoid.

It's also worth mentioning that the USA is about as large as all of Europe, so if the same number of instances of police violence occurred here and there, the USA would still look a lot worse because they'd all be in one country instead of divided among dozens. European countries might have relatively low instances of police brutality, but the same could be said for many of the States. America's not all bad, but there does seem to be a mindset throughout that it's OK to give up our personal liberties, safety, and the sanctity of our homes and our private lives in some futile attempt at government "protection."

My fiance' and I are debating moving elsewhere when we get married, partly for a more diverse life story, and partly because the American government and "law enforcement" are getting more scary and more asinine by the day.

If a cop pulls you over for a good reason, he's doing his job and you will get ********** if you refuse to cooperate.
The problem is that they've started doing these checkpoints, where they pull over everyone regardless of how well or poorly they're driving. So you get stopped even if you do nothing wrong. And you cant' drive around them, and if you try and enforce your right against an illegal stop and seizure, then they ******** you.
The cops are acting outside of the rules that should govern them because of stupid loopholes and politicians who are more interested in making a quick buck than standing up for the people. So they're breaking the rules, and ******* you over if you call them on it.

Those are last resort tactics for when the cops are being assholes. As long as you're not being an asshole towards them and them to you, you shouldn't need scream your rights as if they don't already know them. I've never had to tell an officer my rights because I know that it'll end up being more hassle trying to sue for infringing them than it would be to comply. And as long as you're not being a dumbass and/or criminal you'll likely never see police brutality.

My grandfather was a cop and he always taught me to keep my hands at 10 and 2 whenever I get pulled over until the officer gets to the window and instructs me to do otherwise. Digging in the glovebox for your registration and digging in the glovebox for your uzi looks the same from a distance.

The cop will be a lot more appreciative of being able to see your hands as he approaches and feel a little bit less like this might be his last traffic stop ever than he will be of those precious few seconds you saved him by getting your papers ready in advance.

Also, don't raise your voice because people have a tendency to raise their voices before they open fire. Of course your mad, but he is just doing his job. I'm sure you have probably had an experience at work where someone was bitching you out for something that was entirely not your fault that you had no control over, but they act like you did it personally just to piss them off, and that **** probably pissed you off, but you didn't do anything about it because company policy is the customer is always right, but the cops company policy is if that ************ gives you any lip, you can put his ass in cuffs, so ya know, golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated, especially when those others, unlike you, don't just have to stand their and take your abuse with a smile.

Another good piece of advice during a pullover: Unless there's an insane blizzard or some other condition where climate control is basically required to survive (in which case you're probably being pulled over for driving in ridiculously unsafe conditions anyway), turn off the car and put the keys on the dash. You'll be there at least five minutes, so you're saving yourself some gas wasted idling. It also lets the cop know at a glance that you don't plan on going anywhere until the encounter is officially wrapped up.

While this is what I do, personally, it doesn't save any gas.

Combustion on startup is what uses most of your gas. Idling isn't gas-intensive as you aren't actually propelling yourself anywhere. I think if you'll be inside for more than like 20 minutes, turning the car off saves gas. Otherwise, just keep it idling.

hmmm... let's see, to be honest, I'm not sure, especially since the political landscape isn't as stable as it used to be, the result of the upcoming elections is gonna have a great impact in what happens with Cataluña, especially since some parties want to modify how much the Basque Country pays in taxes, and now the Basque Country is threatening to leave too if they touch anything (basically, the Basque Country has a certain, fixed amount it has to pay in taxes, and then is free to do whatever it wants, as a relatively rich area, it ends up being cheaper than to pay up a percentage like everyone else).

I doubt anyone will be insane enough to take military action, be it the government or the armed forces themselves, but you can never be 100% sure.

Basically this all started (in my opinion) because Artur Mas, who had been doing a terrible job at managing Cataluña as its president wanted to win again, so he started pushing all this independence narrative, sadly the snow ball got rolling downhill and it's now too big for Mas to stop it, he probably wanted to back off as soon as he won another term but now he can't do anything without him and his "allies" looking like massive idiots.

Sorry for the pessimistic view but if the worst happens we could have a third? spanish civil war with the basques and the catalans against the rest of spain. Hopefully it doesn't draw outside intervention like it did back in 1936. Being in Portugal this would worry me a lot because I believe in union between iberians Not an actual political union but you get the picture . Also I am wondering what might happen from there, I mean the country could even change it's name who knows but whatever happens both sides might go bankrupt.

EU warned multiple times that if catalonia or basque country get their independence they will not be part of the EU and that means no trading privileges. Its been also been announced and proven multiple times that their economies will worsen without Spain alone, not to the point of bankrupt but definitely will not improve. If they still want to not be Spain they know they will get poorer, if anyone believes otherwise they are down right delusional or retarded.

The independence at this point is to feel special or because they are brainwashed, not about money.

Nah, he's still a ****** , but being a ****** doesn't have to be a bad thing. A ****** is simply derogatory slang for a black, same way that kike is for jew, or faggot is for homosexuals. The important thing isn't to try and redefine the terms, but to understand that simply being a part of those groups doesn't make you good or bad- scum exists across all groups of people, so there's no real reason to change terms to define scum who are also part of a specific group.

A black will always be a ****** , but they can still be just as good, or bad, as any other person. Being a ****** is not something to be ashamed of, not something to try and get out of.

That's exactly where I think the problem is. A ****** is a black person, and by trying to separate yourself from that term, you're saying that you the members of that group is something to try and get away from, something to try and be different from. Every black, regardless of what they do, is a ****** , and will always be a ****** (barring rare circumstances of people actually changing that). But being a ****** isn't a bad thing- it's no better or worse than being a white. Scum and heroes alike exist across all spectrums.

By trying to change the word, you're still bringing race as a vital part of it- because you're saying that the fact that they may be black or gay or jewish is just as important as the fact that they're scum.
Scum should just be called scum, because that's all that's relevant.

Mate, did you do anything past looking at my username? I said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a kike, a ****** , a faggot, or anything else. Those are simply derogatory titles to define someone as being solely a member of their group. By trying to change the meaning of the terms, the very idea is wasted- people try to change the terms because they don't want to think themselves the same as the others of the groups. One should embrace the titles and understand that, while they may always be a ****** , they can still be a shining example of the human race.

Do you need help, son? There are organizations that can help. Like the NRA, or the Second Amendment PAC, or the Revolutionary PAC... point is, you need some liberation. And some better steak knives.

Oh there are still moments of freedom.

She has no control over 4th of July and New Years in Indiana, the skys are alight with tracers from the neighbors each year.

She usually goes to Illinois to be a firework-less cuck for a few days.

Start off my telling them about the 20 kiloton nuclear device in the trunk. It'll at least soften the blow. Seriously. I did this once when I was coming back from camping. I had like 8 rifles in the back seat, none of which belonged to me, but which wouldn't fit in any of the trucks due to actual camping equipment taking up space. "Any weapons in the car?" "Yeah, there's a functional recreation of the LIttle Boy A-bomb in the trunk. Also 8 rifles that I don't own and can't really prove aren't stolen because the owners are about ten miles down the highway by this point." Took a little bit to clear it up (Cell phones were still bricks and limited to orange tinted lawyers back then), but the cop thanked me for the humor, and for cooperating when technically I was smuggling weapons and would likely have been in a back roads jail house if I'd screwed up. I'm sure the enormous volume of camping supplies crammed into every cubic inch of the car helped a bit too, but the humor definitely saved me some...turbulence.

It's the side of him that hated the villagers for shunning him and Naruto had to face him in order to obtain Kurama's Chakra

How can you logically assume that it's just a "bad apple" problem, when you're using your single, personal experience?

That's just the opposite equivalent like a "good apple" situation.
For every story like this there's fifty excessive force stories, which implies that the opposite of your assumption is true.

You just gotta ask yourself, if you turned on the news and the headline was "cop does his job" and the next two hours was just the anchor giving stories about cops doing their jobs, would you watch?

That would be every single day, because that's how often cops legitimately do their jobs. We see and hear about the excessive force because it isn't the norm, it isn't the cops' job.
