Still we have a culture of ignoring the constitution.
When They ask you if you know why they pulled you over, they are encouraging you to forgo your fifth amendment right. Be polite sure but also politely demand they stop trying to crap on your Constitution.
When they ask if they can take a look inside your vehicle, they are asking your permission to violate your right against unreasonable search (and seizure) They can only do it if you let them. So don't. Politely tell them to pack sand and read their history. Fascism is only a few poor choices away for we Americans.
I hope you are never pulled over, but if you are, do not make it easy for the state to unlawfully take your property (an expensive ticket)... increasingly, the police are being used simply as a revenue raising agency and are not concerned with protecting the public or public safety. Especially in the poorly run and indebted state of Colorado. I do not envy them their job but even more I do not envy you having to put up with their state authorized unconstitutional bullshnizzle.
I served my country for 20 years as a USMC officer. in doing so I swore an oath to defend your constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I hear and do not disagree that the LEOs are "just doing their job". Well they must do it without harassing the citizens who hired them and without violating the constitution of this once great country. If you do not respect your constitutional rights and the bloody sacrifices which bought them for you, the popos will not either.
It is up to we citizens to learn our history, read our constitution, and hold our out of control government agents from taking a big dump on our heritage.
I say man up defend your country against these DOMESTIC ENEMIES and try in every way you can to put an end to this unforunate era of increasing Fascism.
Siemper Fi, and remember what Plato said 2500 years ago. "Civic disobedience is every citizens civic responsibility"
“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” MLK
“It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.” aristotle
“If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law”
― Henry David Thoreau,
“We need in every bay and community a group of angelic troublemakers.”
― Bayard Rustin
Long live the Republic!
