College athletes today have to realize they are under a microscope. I think they forget that from time to time.

Laughing to keep from crying. Using your logic I could set up a task force on Bryant-Irvin at Mira Vista, ignoring all other parts of Fort Worth, catching people failing to come to a complete stop before turning right on red onto Bryant-Irvin... Thus proving conclusively that only Trinity Valley School people or Mira Vista residents commit traffic offenses. You'd agree that's what it would prove, right? It amazes me the contortions some people will put themselves through to defend the indefensible.
4:20. Felt like I should post in here for some reason.

Say no. ALWAYS say no.What are you supposed to do in this situation? Asking for a friend
Muck Engel article saying Sewo needs to be off the team and TCU is a harbor for druggies, and GP is a hypocrite in 3, 2, 1...
Every speeder started off riding a bike so ban all bikes
Hard to avoid when you are a Southern Baptist, but touché!
Go Frogs!

This, and never, EVER, consent to a search. Rule of thumb, if they have to ask then they don't have grounds. Asking is an admission that they don't have probable cause to search your vehicle. If they attempt to search you, ask them to "articulate" why they feel threatened and want to touch you. If the circumstances don't warrant a safety concern for the police, let them know you consider a search of your person as offensive, and thereby an assault. If they continue to attempt the search, allow it. Further, should you not find the fortitude in the moment to assert your right to deny a search and you consent, you can withdraw the consent and stop the search at any time, and the officer must stop the search. He who gives the authority can withdraw the authority.No. You need probable cause for a search, at least in the context being discussed here. Reasonable suspicion only allows you to detain someone while you investigate the circumstances to see if there are additional factors that can be discovered to give you probable cause. If the officer can articulate specific facts which give him or her cause to fear for their own safety, they can do a pat-down of the person for weapons. But you can't just go rummaging through a vehicle looking for drugs without probable cause, absent consent.

If a cop believes he or she has probable cause to conduct the search, the cop will not bother to ask. Therefore, if you invoke your right to deny consent, AND THEN the officer decides he or she smells weed, you are setting the officer up for official oppression charge and a motion to suppress. Police can detain you no longer than it takes to accomplish the initial purpose of the stop unless some action or circumstances, more than a hunch or fishing expedition, gives rise to further detention, and the exercising of a right does not qualify.

No way I’m going to remember all this the next time I’m turnt up.This, and never, EVER, consent to a search. Rule of thumb, if they have to ask then they don't have grounds.

So odd to read people's expressions on the "consequences" of exercising your rights as opposed to being more upset that the rights were violated in the first place. That's baffling.
As for Sewo, he was booked in yesterday on two charges, possession of drug paraphernalia (a ticket for which the bond was $271, and usually not an arrest-worthy offense) and for PCS 1-4g PG2 (for which the bond was $4k). He is not in jail, and expect the next report to state that his father got charged by the Kingwood County DA with ABI-FM for striking Sewo about the head and face with a closed fist.
