Citizen Pulls Cop Over, Gives Warning.

If this actually bothered me enough to make a point of it...
...I'd have gone to the Police Department, and spoken to the folks in charge about it directly... behind closed doors.
When confrontational tactics are used; there are no winners. :banghead:

My point wasn't to defend the guy. He had an agenda, I agree...

My question is to what extent can officials abuse power before we speak up?

This case was the unlawful use of an unmarked car - most of us don't care
What if it had been illegal search and seizure? What then? "Well, it wasn't my house, and they got a bad guy off the streets"...

We can keep moving the line of what is acceptable or not to the point that we wake up and have no rights anymore... They're not being taken away, we are willfully giving them up.

As I said: Take it to the Office... Discuss it with the man in charge; the LEO on the street, is doing what he has been told to do. :thumbup:

bob i agree with your point but i expect if you went to the precinct they would blow you off and just think you are a
troublemaker . the way he did it let's the cop know & everyone else aware of what might be a breach in law enforcement
in that area. you may not like the way he did it but if he is right in the law then maybe it is the officers that should better know their limitations. don't shoot the messenger even though i always do.
