Only according to you and your ways. In my world, it worked out
fine. You can probe around the margins of the law all you want.
Feel free to hold up traffic, make a scene and explore uncharted
territory. How about in that youtube video, after taking enough
BS, the cop just says that he smells alcohol and ordered the guy
out of the car to take the field test? Now what? Refuse that,
refuse to open the door, and test what happens next? IMO, if he
did, the cops would be within their rights to force him out of the
car. You and that guy can feel free to resist, argue the law,
wind up in jail and then sort it all out in court, where you'd
likely lose. Me, I cooperate and I'm on my way in a minute.

You might win the case; son, but tonight you get a free ride to
the pokey, a wonderful tour of our housing facilities and a
complementary breakfast :-)


Followed up by your pension when my lawyers are done playing with you.
It's very clear that your comfortable being a sheep. I wouldn't ever
want to try and change your line of thinking. Sheep can be useful too.


Its a joke son, its a joke.

The police department would pay any settlement, not the officer unless
maybe it was a civil rights violation and not under "color of law".


And who pays the alleged perp's law bills while they tilt at windmills
in a case that they will likely lose?
