Harshly worded letter from SC trooper raises concern

[YALE]

Personally, nothing there, go right ahead search the whole car, here's the keys. BUT if I had something to hide I'd say get a warrant. And yes I understand the Carroll rule (vehicles are mobile and CAn be exempt from warrant requirement..Google it for some education)...Sorry, I'm a little more informed than the average joe, BUT if I can take a line from here " don't break the law asshole"...and you have nothing to worry about

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

Explain....

[Captain Crawfish]

he said he would recommend jail. The judge decides so who cares what that cop says

I have quite a bit of education in the matter. I have nothing to say to someone who is willing to give up their rights to the first person who asks. Every officer who asks to look through my truck gets told not without a warrant. The fact that you support a cop threatening jail time if he doesn't get his way says quite a bit as does your willingness to hand over your keys to someone you don't know who's wearing a badge.

Pretty much anyone who doesn't want police threatening citizens with jail time if they don't plead guilty.

I have never been to jail, never had a cop ask to search my car. Could give a shit if they want to. Got a few tickets, (deserved every one of them, and took defensive driving or paid them) . I think these assholes that go around breaking the law and worry about what a cop asks them are the ones you should be whining about. You don't get it, if you know your rights and understand how to assert them, you have nothing to fear, unless you're guilty of something. Therefore, back to my statement, don't break the law asshole...

People who don't break the law but have their property seized disagree. You didn't say you'd assert your rights. You said you'd hand the cop your keys.

Just because you break the law it doesn't mean you automatically give up your rights. Also, just because you have no problems freely giving up your rights doesn't mean I do, or should. in fact, just like Frost, I won't.

You know what? I hate when I agree with you...just doesn't seem right. But this dude is a retard who believes if you aren't doing anything wrong you should let cops do as they please.

Tell me, do you think a cop who knocks on your door should be able to just walk through? I mean, you have nothing to hide right?

[Slowhand]

Troopers in SC have to prosecute their own cases? That can't be right.

For traffic tickets that doesn't sound out of whack. Regardless, what a shitty fucking sob story that is; a trooper's word is going to carry 10x the weight that a defendant's will in a court of law, so why is that such a boohoo part of the job?

I don't hate it when I agree with you, right is right. Generally the only issues we differ on are social and religious ones.

Part of the problem we're dealing with today with overreaching police officers and double standards.

Fuck that cop, if he wants to come in, he can get a warrant.

I was pointing that last one at Mr. "Please, take my rights away."

Sorry about that, carry on. You only quoted me, so I thought you were asking me.

did anyone think that maybe the defendants attorney has already notified the court of their intent to plead guilty to the charges? ive seen plenty of cases where all parties involved already knew a plea of guilt was going to be given yet it kept being reset for whatever reason...

The way it reads, no. The cop was pushing for a guilty plea which would be unnecessary if he already knew the guy was going to plead that way.
