Up here, driving a car is considered a privledge, not a right. The police
have been determined to have the right to ensure that you qualify for the
privledge.
Now *that* sounds like creeping horseshit to me.
How so? Do you think you should just automatically have the right to pilot
enough steel to wipe out a small crown down crowded streets?
And yes, the police have been known to abuse their right to stop vehicles.
In this case, the greater good of society takes precedence.
Police harassing a pedestrian who's only "crime" is carrying a camera is in
another category altogether.
