The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: not just missouri, best to avoid all cops
« on: Today at 02:22:51 PM »The only time I’ve ever been pulled over was for expired registration stickers. And I am very white.Also, expired registration is as much of a bullshit reason to pull someone over as an air freshener hanging from the rear viewI don't think that this is a good argument for that either. He had a warrant for being charged with carrying an unlicensed hand gun. Do we want cops interacting with guns and they don't have one? What's the solution, to not arrest him but let him go until a cop with a gun can? In the meantime you hope this person doesn't commit a gun crime?
Yeah that sounds fine. In this case there were at least three officers there, they could have just slow played it until the backup gun cop arrived.
It's bullshit, being forgetful and/or poor doesn't put anyone in danger.
I can actually see an argument that something hanging from the rear view impairs a field of vision and makes driving more dangerous.
