"Stop, Don’t Consent to that Search!”

[uncltodd]

My last "bust" was on a Sunday night about 8 PM.

I was in my DD, just a little '05 'Stang V6 vert, top up.

LE had no reason to pull me over, but I had L window down, inside lights on, no passengers, had my license and insurance stuff out before he hit the window.

Didn't have my hands on the roof, stupid me.

"Where are you going, sir?" he asked.

"I just took my granddaughter home from church, I'm going home."

"Do you mind if I search your car, sir?" he asked.

I boiled.

"No problem at all, officer, as long as your supervisor is here and there is video documentation of everything you do."

Many minutes later, he told me I was "Free to go on my way."

Tejas. Guilty until proved innocent.

Beware.

That's a great plan. Securing a supervisor for backup is probably not doable, especially when there is clearly no reason to search anything. I'd love to hear how the communications with the supervisor, if he/she was contacted at all, went. The stop must have had something to do with profiling - in this case the car. Of course, profiling isn't done and is unlawful, but perhaps not if it's all about the car.

UT,
Were you heading north or south when he stopped you ??

If you were heading south,he might have been trying to protect our border from illegals or worse Okies.

He let you go when you told him were going home to OK.Sounds like our Border Patrols are working in Texas.

Fred,

You had better beef up your border patrols on the West side. Everyone is telling our illegals how nice it is in Texas with all of the open spaces and furnishing them with bus fare.

My last time being pulled over was in 1969 and the judge threw the ticked out. Cop claimed that I ran a stop sign and I had several witnesses who were behind me as we waited for the traffic on the Boulevard to get past. When I pointed that out to the cop, his remark was, If you can afford that Cobra you can afford a ticket no matter if it is right or not. I had just gotten the 69 Cobra about 4 months before that. When the judge heard that he really chewed the cop out and told him if he ever heard of anything like that again from him he would have his badge. And this wasn't one of the young, just out of the academy power happy ones either.
