[QUOTE=Eleusis] Whatever man. I can handle left field. But I still think **Loach** is a dick for pulling randoms over for a cracked windshield, jerking them from their car, and searching their pockets. Oh yeah, and thinking it’s right all the while, getting a judge’s “gavel” and putting them in jail for nothing more than a joint. [/QUOTE] Thanks for answering my question. You actually can’t comprehend that he hasn’t done what you are so upset about. I hope you enjoy your hissy fit. ---

What a bullshit pitting. You’re making a fool of yourself **Eleusis** I’m generally on the side of the people who pit cops for being over zealous etc. but this is just shite of the highest order. Get a fucking grip. ---

[QUOTE=Eleusis] Right there. [/QUOTE] Are you always this stupid? **Loach** said: [QUOTE=Loach] You don’t like the windshield statute? Write your state senator. Like I said I don’t think it’s that important and have never pulled someone over for it. Maybe I said it in some secret post only you can read. [/QUOTE] ---

Seriously, when 20 posters respond to your OP and every single one seems to think you’re off your rocker, maybe you need to step back and think about where your viewpoint is coming from. ---

Remember what was said earlier about your seeming inability to read for comprehension? This is Exhibit A. Here’s the WHOLE quote: > [@](#): > > There is no technically about it. It is probable cause for a motor vehicle stop since all states have statutes governing use of safe equipment on the roadway. However that has nothing to do with Terry. **To tie it into Terry it may go something like this** : “I observed a blue pinto travelling south on RT 66 with a cracked winshield. I initiated a motor vehilce stop. As I spoke to the driver he was visibly nervous. The driver’s continuously darted around as if to look for an escape route. The driver bladed his body towards me in an offensive posture. The driver’s hand kept reaching up towards his waist even after repeated requests to keep his hands down and visible. I patted down the driver for my protection and found a hangun tucked into his pants.” Probable cause for the stop. Articulable suspicion for the pat down. In other words, he never did it. It’s a hypothetical. What’s not hypothetical is your inability to read for comprehension. Hopefully this will begin to remedy that problem. ---

[QUOTE=Eleusis] Right there. [/QUOTE] That was so obviously a hypothetical, I’m bewildered as to how you could not see it. It was also an excellent hypothetical, displaying perfectly a course of action that even I - no fan of the police in general - would not argue with. Tell us, under what circumstances would you believe that a pat-down during a traffic stop is justified? Are there any? And out of idle curiousity, given some of your side-comments, did you happen to get busted for pot yesterday? ---

No, I never have. No thanks to **Loach**. The only dealings I’ve had with cops in the last eight years have been road blocks, and the _good cops_ have let me through. Thank god **Loach** wasn’t there, my asshole is still intact. But thanks for asking. ---
