Rider harassment?

[Mazo EMS2]

He certainly made a few aggressive moves/passes/lane changes....I think they were focusing on some of the recklessness. He certainly could have been more cooperative with the police. Why argue, just do what they ask and keep yer pie hole shut. I side with the officers on this one as well.

[Easy Rider]

So.....racial profiling is forbidden......but A**hole profiling is a valuable law enforcement tool.

The odds are extremely high that anyone who argues, yells, cusses and is otherwise uncooperative is actually trying to cover up something that they NEED to be arrested for. The tactic usually backfires. As does trying to convince a Cop that you know more about the law than he does.

Be polite, cooperate and you can be on your way......sometimes even if you really DO have something to hide.

Yes... by all means.....obey your fascist overlords or else......…

I'll stick to what this little document called the US Constitution says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Arguing with law enforcement will only get you grief, who needs that? I find that being polite and the 'do unto others plan' in that instance works very well. If I get into that situation for whatever reason, I want to be on my way and enjoy life, rather than having been delayed and the whole world watching blue lights; but that's just me and my opinion which is not worth much.

Wrong, you're opinion is worth just as much as anyone else's.

Hi Dan,
Could you please do me a favor?
Define "unreasonable"...

YOUR interpretation of that provision is quite different than what the Courts have said over the years.
I suspect that your take on a LOT of laws is somewhat different too.

Guess which opinion counts and which one doesn't ??

Just stop please.

He WANTS you to engage in an extended argument......and I'm pretty sure that almost NOBODY else wants that.

[Bob Denman]

But we're having fun now...
Dan and I have always been on opposite sides of the opinion polls; in just about every possible discussion.
But we're usually able to poke fun at each other (and holes into each other's arguments! )

[Easy Rider]

But we're having fun now...

I assume that you know you can NEVER win an argument with a moron.
And I don't consider trying to be "fun".

[Bob Denman]

Of course!
But I don't consider Dan to be a moron... I only think of him as "misinformed"

But I'm not sure what he thinks of me!

[Easy Rider]

But I'm not sure what he thinks of me!

Using terms like "fascist overlords", I really don't care what he thinks of me.

I also don't care what he thinks about anything else either.

Well, that's really not totally true.
People like that are DANGEROUS so I do kind of care.

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

Of course!

no, he is a moron but only under our laws and common sense. in some countries he might be a genious

[Bob Denman]

One never knows...

I don't agree with Firefly but was it really necessary to disagree like this? Now I see that the rest of the thread has devolved into personal attacks, too. What a shame when people can't argue without attacking each other. Too bad -- up to then I was enjoying the conversation and the different points of view. It's kind of funny -- in an UNfunny, pathetic way -- to see these personal attacks on a fellow rider in a thread entitled, "Rider Harassment."

I'm sorry don't burn the flag and then post it on youtube and expect people to be nice about it. If firefly believes in our
constitution then he has no problem with the first amendment and should not take offense if someone besides himself exercises that right.

There is a " ignore " option. I use it and I think it has lowered my blood pressure a bit.

Al,
You're forgetting something: the First Amendment does not apply in here.
We either live by Lamont's rules: or we can go elsewhere.
And Personal Attacks are strictly forbidden.

sorry lamont.

And now it's been said twice. Pretty sneaky on your part SS.

Personally I like sarcasm better than just name-calling. It shows a better command of the language without using obtuse verbiage.

I finally found that button and put some people on that list. But now I find when they show up in a thread I have to click on the show button and see what they are saying.
