True enough, but in the days and times in which we live, there are a lot more pressing issues that law enforcement should be focusing their resources on rather than a missing tear view mirror, even if that were the legitimate reason she was pulled over. At least here.
I got pulled over a few years ago driving my daughter's Tahoe because her tags were expired. Do you think I was being profiled? He let me go with a warning.
Not the point I'm arguing. I didn't even say he was wrong for pulling her over, even though I think his reason of the "vehicle looked dangerous" is :bs: My argument is that law enforcement here, in Middle Georgia, has many more issues in which they should be focusing on rather than someone driving a 25 year old pickup that "looks dangerous" Drugs are absolutely rampant. Violent crimes are on the rise. Thievery is almost incalculable.
I've never been arrested. Only ever had one traffic ticket. But I can assure you of one thing....... if a LEO pulls me over, and tells me his only reason is because my vehicle "looked dangerous" I promise you he's gonna get an earful. He may not care. I may be wrong. He may be right. I may get a ticket. I may go to jail. But it's gonna happen. I've got no tolerance for that kind of stuff. Once they get all the thugs locked up and rehabilitated then I may be more inclined to accept it. But as long as I'm out here busting azz trying to make a living and following the rules I don't want to be pulled over and harassed, just so I can be ticketed and fined, and the money can be used to pay the officer salary so he can continue to harass people.
I Back the Blue. I respect the law. I've got a track record to prove it. If I break the law, I won't even argue about the ticket. I'm not a hypocrite. But DO NOT pull me over with some lame excuse like this. And don't lecture me if you pull me over. I'm not a child. Write the ticket and I will even tell you thank you and have a nice day and mean it. :tiphat:
Protect and serve has lost its meaning to so many.
