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?
I don't think it does, but I also don't think the police stopping vehicles
without cause is an abuse of citizens.
If you are operating a motor vehicle, you may be asked to prove it is
something you have the right or privledge to do at any time.
The abuse part that I was inferring is when police go fishing after stopping
you.
Sorry, I wasn't very clear there.
They don't have the right to look in your trunk, as far as I am concerned,
but if you refuse them the look, you might find your trunk opened with a
prybar.
That is abuse.
