RE: The Daily Meme #876!

in #smdhyesterday

I don't know about all that trivial stuff. I was giving a ride to one of my son's old friends the other day, I asked him why he got arrested a few days prior. He said he was in a fender bender a couple years ago up north of where we are. He was driving on a suspended at the time, he didn't go to court so they issued a warrant. I asked them if they can pull people over and ask the occupants to provide their identification without cause, as he was just a passenger in the car. I recall some slight dust up about it a few years back and, if I remember correctly, they weren't supposed to. His reply was they were in a stolen vehicle unbeknownst to him. He didn't get charged not because the cop didn't believe he didn't know, but the cop told him we know you aren't involved, it's not on your list of things you've ever done. I guess the cop was telling you he was more of a nuisance than a criminal. In the end, even the driver didn't know he was suspected of stealing a car when they pulled him over. He was on the outs with his girlfriend, he took the car without her knowing, because she was mad at him, she reported it as stolen. Some girlfriend.

Sort:  

Driver's licenses convert the right to travel into a privilege, that is unconstitutional, but only if we fight for it.
License plates violate our 5th amendment right to remain silent.
Any question a cop can ask also violates the 5th amendment, IF you don't consent to having your rights violated.

Until the crowd learns its rights, and how to enforce them, all we can expect is more tyranny.
