[QUOTE="erics72, post: 1592642, member: 316826"] +1. So what happens, or what do you do, if you get pulled over randomly by an a-hole cop (plenty of those) that are having a boring night, and want to bust someone's balls (plenty of that happening as well). And they want to search your person, and peruse through your mobile? A common scenario; if you decline, they take offense and press you. Drumming up false charges, knowing it won't stick. But they can at least detain you for questioning, for up to 48 hours. I've had this happen to friends. - A waste of tax payer's money if you ask me. Especially when their are real crimes, and real criminals on the street. - Mind you, although they were completely innocent, they did become stand offish to the officer. Which is what I believe set the officer off, and retaliated using the full extent of his authority. I've even heard of cops, damaging people's property (mobile), when the owner wouldn't let them look through it. Just because some where a badge, doesn't mean they've earned it. A-holes are a-holes no matter who they are, and what they do. [/QUOTE]
