If the boy had rolled down his window, the officer would have stuck his face into the vehicle and exclaimed "I smell marijuana" and all this stuff would have happened anyway. It's pretty much how these things are for men between the ages of 18-25 in the US.

Yeah, I don't why people don't understand that if you just do whatever the cops tell you to, whether you're legally obligated to or not, you don't have to waste time learning your constitutional rights. That's what lawyers are for! This guy must be some kind of civil rights nerd or something.

Fight the power, SOVRAN MAN!

Also, talk to a lawyer. Nothing illegal happened here. Unconstitutional? I think so, but the Supreme Court has ruled otherwise. Thanks Ronald Reagan!

He was incorrect about having to provide his license. If you are on a public road, you have consented to produce your license as well as proof of insurance upon request.

Obey!

A lot of people (idiots) think their car is private property even while on public roads.

It isn't.

I'm calling the cops with an anonymous tip for drugs at your house, Simillion.

You better cooperate and let them in.

Classic POETV. If you suggest the civilian in any cop video may be deliberately antagonistic for the sake of his YouTube channel, you're a bootlicker. And George Orwell and some other shit.

Better still, accuse him of pedophilia. All the evidence need to put Sim or Spike away for life can be obtained just from looking at the server logs resulting from the use of this site. No kiddin'.

No one is excusing this boys antagonistic attitude. But let me ask you, if this kind of thing happens to you two or three times, are you going to be patient and helpful that fourth time? Or a little cranky....

What proof is there that this to this guy frequently enough that he's just FED UP?

This cop's an asshole. This kid is antagonistic. Everyone's PC is full of child porn.

Doesn't look like we do yet, but only a matter of time before that gets linked I'm sure.

The fatter and older ones always seem to be the worst.

Thinking back, every nice cop I talked to was young fit guy.

...except in Brooklyn where two started harassing me for kneeling down to pet a cat through a chain fence next to a store at night. I guess they thought I was casing the place? 5 minute questioning what I was doing and 5 minutes of me repeating I was just petting a goddamn cat.

"You Superman or something? You have xray vision? How'd you see a cat?"

Couldn't think of any reply for that so I just sat in silence for another minute before they let me go.

I'll estimate that I've encountered probably twenty-five cops in my lifetime. A few of them have been very pleasant. One pulled me over about three weeks ago because he thought my registration had expired (it had and I had renewed, but I hadn't put the sticker on yet). Once he realized his mistake, he couldn't have been any more polite and apologetic about it.

I've had exactly one unpleasant encounter with a cop. When I was twenty/twenty-one, my friends and I would get drunk, clear out the dining room in the row home I shared with my buddy, scatter some futon mattresses and pillows, and hold a professional wrestling event. Clearly our ruckus could be felt throughout the other row homes and a neighbor called the cops. The cop who showed up was an incredible dickhead. Honestly, if I were a cop and I walked into a bunch of stupid kids dressed like mid-80's WWE wrestlers, hitting each other with Styrofoam, it would make my day.

Oh, and here's my absolute best encounter with a cop anywhere, any time. I was on tour and one of our guitar players was driving like a real dickhead through Chicago. We were pretty rightfully pulled over (especially since we were pulling a trailer). Then this happened:

I've only had one bad experience with a cop, over 20 years ago, and have gotten along very well with all my local ones, even the rookie that tried to be all tough at the Speedway coffee machine and I was like "dude, lol."

It isn't about me.

Also, it was a cop that told me cops were easily frightened animals.

A previous encounter with the police came to mind recently...

Years ago, I was driving through the back country in Arizona, heading to Tucson on vacation. Got pulled over at dusk, driving 30 in a 25mph zone in the middle of nowhere. Cop comes up to the vehicle, I give him my creds, he asks "Do you have any weapons in the car?" I say "No!". Then I chuckle, and ask the cop "Have you ever had anyone answer yes to that question?" He sez "Oh yes, I have". I say "So what did you do?" "Nothing, it's legal so long as you tell me". I say "So what are you looking for?" He says "Marijuana".

Fast forward to the present day. I'm reading a news story. Boy about my age at the time, get's pulled over in the same county in AZ I did. Police ask the same question, boy sez "sure. Couple Tek-9s, shotgun, extra clips, body armor". No drugs. So after a short time checking his creds, the officer waves him on. He then drives into town, arrives at the town meeting, and brutally shoots Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in the face, along with several of her constituents.

My housemates were travelling back from Oregon to South Dakota when they got pulled over for going about 2 miles over the speed limit. Although there was a pipe it was clean; the cops searched the entire car until they found a single oxycontin pill underneath the passenger seat that they didn't know was there. They were put in jail and given a bail of 10,000.

I got pulled over in Chicago once and ended up chatting about jazz with a friendly police officer.
