WEll they can search you all they want, and if you want to make a point,
you´ll put up with it a few times and if you´ve got nothing to hide then
what will it hurt other than making them look like the jackasses they are?
So you put up with it....and you keep track of when/where/how many times
they do it. Then make an appointment with the police captain in charge of
them with a fully written report of the number of times, the circumstances
they took place, and what the officers said and did before during and after
the searches. AND what they found...which if you´re as upstanding as I´d
like to belive you are, the results would be a big fat NOTHING. They have
no right to search you, it´d go on record, so if they continued to single
you out, or it became harassment or violent, you´ve got your paperwork and
their ass in a sling.
Trust me, there were real "pigs" in my town too. Bored, nothing better to
do than pull teenagers of ANY type over and give them greif....but you
know, once you see them more than once, you get to know them, and finally
some will see the light and stop buggering you. Some are just looking for
a reason. I have no problem being pulled over and having my car searched
(has yet to happen tho...even dressed to the nines I´ve always been treated
with respect) because I have nothing to hide, and until I discover
otherwise, I´ll continue to assume they´re just doing their job.
Cops with quotas are no different where you are than anywhere...big cities
and small towns, cops have quotas to fill, even if they deny that quotas
exist :P
