Being pulled over is a command under threat of violence, by an agent of the state empowered to use deadly force, who is mostly insulated from the consequences of poor judgement or abuses of power. Being pulled over by cops cannot be whimsical.
replyThankfully, not everyone thinks like you do. I have zero problems with police and never have. I trust you’ve heard of different opinions?
replyWe can hold differing opinions about whether state sanctioned threats of deadly force are whimsical, but that is unarguably what being pulled over is.
replyThe use of deadly force on unarmed civilians is a fact in the US, not an opinion.
replyPlease tell me which "differing opinion" excuses rampant theft through Civil Asset Forfeiture which cops don't seem to have a problem with?
replyWhimsy should be consensual and not involve the threat of violence.
