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.
I thought Shel said he was not "harassed."
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I
don't think it means what you think it means."
(However, I *have* looked it up, so I know it means what I think it means.)
