    The moral of this story is to never question authority, do as you're told. Comply citizen.....or I can arrest you and make your life a living hell.

    That's silly.

    Yes, the law is not always right.

    When it doesn't suit you, eh?

    Is this argument presentable for everyone that has an issue with the way the law works?

    Are you suggesting there are not, and have never been immoral and unfair laws? Or are you just attacking for arguments sake?

    What's how I sound? This woman had every right to question this cop. But once he asked her to get out, she needed to shut up and do it. Why is that hard for you to understand. The cop was not abusive nor did he abuse his power. Just because you don't like the law, doesn't make me sound silly.

    No. That's how you sound with your juvenile 'some say' bit of ridiculousness you posted about 4 posts ago.

    Do you think a police officer should be legally justified asking your wife to exit her vehicle so he can ogle her?
    According to Last, that would be within the confines of the law.

    Silly is what you said, I was saying that you sound like the quote you were responding to.
    I don't see why you think it's silly, it is almost exactly what you have been saying, minus the "never" and "comply citizen".
    You have said "Do as you're told" in those and other words many times.

    It's not according to me. It's according to the law.

    I've heard you use this example a couple of times in this thread and I don't understand why you're so worried about cops ogling your wife.

    In the time I have spent on the MT (since '09)... on no occasion has the argument you presented ever been accepted (outside of referring to things such as Sharia Law).

    I've been very outspoken towards facets of the law I disagree with in different contexts, however I accept the application of the law as it is written and practiced. It is what it is.

    You're trying to demonize this officer as he performed his duties within the boundaries afforded to him. If you wanted to spend your time criticizing those boundaries... then fair enough, but you're spending your energies attacking him when he... get this... has done nothing wrong- whether you care to admit it or not.

    Have you read your exchanges with Last 12? Your last few retorts sound like, "I know you are but what am I." Come on, man.

    That's a deflection, I didn't say it was something I worried about.
    Are you saying that is fine by you? You have avoided the scenario as many times as I have posited it.

    My quote function is on the fritz.

    Gambs, what are you talking about? I said she has the right to question the cop. She does not have the right to refuse to get out of the car. What's so difficult about this? Don't put words in my mouth.

    I'm saying that if a cop asked my wife to get out of the car, she obligated to by law. If he did something inappropriate from there, I will deal with it appropriately.

    That's not the question though, the question is if that is just.

    Geezuz.

    Said as if the cop asked her to take her shirt off.

    This cop had every right to ascertain exactly what had this woman so anxious. She had just committed a traffic violation and now was confrontational and extremely agitated.

    We'd have a different headline if the woman was high and minutes after being pulled over plowed into a young mother and her newborn- killing them both.

    His line of questioning seemed to suggest he might have been probing a bit to determine whether or not Bland was in the right state of mind to be behind the wheel.

    There are entire threads devoted to the just or unjust nature of laws...marijuana prohibition, same-sex marriage, gun control, death ppenalty, etc.

    Of course it's not.

    Are you suggesting the officer asked Bland out of the vehicle to see her ass?

    The argument has fallen down (about 7 pages ago) and now you are resorting to alternate scenarios to... prove what? Is there potential for police to abuse their power? I'll say 'yes'. Have police abused their power? I'll say 'yes'. Did this officer abuse his when dealing with Bland? I'll say 'no'.

    YES! And there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. Unless the cop is inappropriate. But to just ask her to get out of the car, I'm fine with it.

    So you are comparing a cop being able to ask somebody to get out of a car to weed laws, gun control, and the death penalty? A bit dramatic, no?
