    ...and the rights of out-of-state drivers that are trampled when they're enforced against those to whom those laws aren't applicable, like CVs registered elsewhere, which was the scenario in the OP. No, it's a matter for those whose rights may be violated. It's your DUTY as a Michigander to...

    Dems tell Obama don't run in 2012

    Awesome and awful can be interchangeable in that regard, as can other words, like terrible. There are high-church prayers that begin, "O great and terrible God..." see Deut. 3:21--Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 1. Adapted...

    And the same obligation to obey the law while they do. The Bill of Rights is the supreme law of the land, and I have every right to demand they obey it. You remember what I pointed out about assumptions, right? And you don't see anything odd or backwards about that? You don't see that as...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    And I don't dispute that; I'm just saying that the Bill of Rights protections against the government interfering with my right to travel and my right to be secure in my person still apply, and that there are standards that apply if they feel that I'm in violation, standards that aren't met if...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    I can't remember the last time I dialed 911. Wait, yes I do...a vehicle fire in Indy. But if/when I call 911, I'll expect the cop to be polite, do the job I'm paying him to do, and overall, observe and obey the Bill of Rights.

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    No, it's the opposite. The cops have changed. Not entirely on their own. Both the federal gummint and the local governments have changed the roles they expect cops to perform. They've been militarized. It's hard to be Officer Friendly when your employer recruits for Officer Pitbull, trains...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Well, first of all, you don't work for me. I have little control or influence over what you do. The government does work for me. Their authority comes from the just consent of the governed--us. Second, the Bill of Rights doesn't limit you. If I'm in your living room and start talking about...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Nope. You don't get a cookie for doing what you're SUPPOSED TO DO. Imagine if I called dispatch for a pat on the back every time I deliver a load safely and on time. Likewise, when a cop does what he's supposed to do, what he gets is a paycheck. Heck, once a year, the citizens in his...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Yep, you're in error. As I stated, I'm very happy that I couldn't become a cop. Wasn't happy at the time, but I'm happy about it now. The same thing that happened to the officer in this story: God vs. Taser: Officer Sues APD Austin News - AustinChronicle.com would have happened to me. I...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Let's turn that around and ask what's wrong with the Bill of Rights? They shouldn't be in opposition, yet that's where we find ourselves. Not quite sure where you're going with this. We can cite many examples of cops getting hurt or killed. They, including my cousins who are cops, knew it...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Please, please, please tell me you don't and won't serve on a jury. Please. You're not paying attention to the facts and assertions that are in play. I plainly never said or implied that every cop was bad, and in fact, plainly stated that some act heroically. My assertion is and has been...

    Actually, it didn't reflect what actually happened. The jury did, indeed, acquit the murderous officer, but the facts as presented on the site I cited weren't disputed. The jury, though they acquitted him, rejected his claim that he acted in legitimate self-defense. From HeraldNet.com - Local...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Bob, these are a few examples that I pulled up in 5 or so minutes. I could bury you in them if you want me to keep pulling them up. There are lots of heroic acts by cops every day by those approximately 800,000 cops in America, and I suspect that will continue. However, you must admit that...

    All State Express

    I drove one for an owner that had 469,000 on it, but you'd never know it. It was a Chevy 3500 Express, and he didn't take particularly good care of it. Used just a little more fuel than it should, but not much.

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    Actually, you did say that cops lie. You suggested that the cop that pulled over my aunt told her he was just wondering what she was doing on the road so late when he had a different reason. Go back and take a look at that link I posted a few posts back. Ask yourself if you want that deputy...
