  • sometimes it is very clear they fucked up, many times not. existing while black is a serious issue that cops use against citizens all the time.

    I recently got pulled over for flipping off a cop for blaring his horn at me when I changed lanes, with plenty of time and space and blinker. he drove past and then stopped when I flipped him off on the highway and backed up to get off the exit to follow me. there were no lights, just a crazy man yelling at me through his passenger side window, driving a Kia minivan. I told him to fuck off and kept going. he follow me into a parking lot and THEN put on lights.

    I got out expecting to defend myself from a road rager. he made up some shit about me not obeying his right of way and made up a ticket, when in reality his ego was bruised for getting flipped off. I got it all on dashcam and phone. but there will be no punishment for him being an ass hole to citizens, he probably won’t even come to court which is next month.



  • I don’t think this is stupid. cops overstep their authority a lot, saw a video yesterday where a cop arrested a woman for not allowing him to test her tint. in the USA, you are not required to provide assistance to the police in an investigation against yourself, it’s the 5th amendment. they arrested her for “obstruction”, which directly violated her 5th amendment right to not incriminate herself.

    you’ll see many where cops overextend their power and try to bully citizens into following non lawful commands just because the cop feels like bossing people around.

    so I don’t feel it’s a stupid question whatsoever, if your freedom is being jeopardized with the threat of being placed in a cage, that arresting officer better damn sure know wtf he’s talking about and not basing all this off feelings. cops like to do what they want, even when proven wrong, and they get away with it without consequences, so why would they care about actual law when they can make shit up and later go “oops”, while leaving people in their wake with lots jobs, children taken from them, property damaged, etc.

    just because the cop said you were being arrested for panhandling, that’s not the correct punishment for that. cops just threaten with arrest to get what they want. there is a reason the phrase “you can beat the ticket but not the ride” exists. people don’t want to spend a night in jail because a cops ego was bruised, but happens.
