    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.
