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?
Well of course! The less beauracracy the better. ;)
And yes, the police have been known to abuse their right to stop
vehicles. In this case, the greater good of society takes precedence.
How does society benefit from citizens abuse?
Police harassing a pedestrian who's only "crime" is carrying a camera is
in another category altogether.
Oh, but we didn't see his pictures! ;)
