[QUOTE="Billy Clyde, post: 2723575, member: 73690"] You couldn't be further wrong... Like, 180 degrees wrong. See my earlier posts in this same thread re: consent searches for proof of that. What I AM ok with- Well, me and decades of consistent US Supreme Court decisions, is the fact that when police stop you for the tail light, or any other minor violations, if they reasonably conclude that you may be committing other crimes, they have the right to investigate that as well. Sorry if you don't like the law, but that's what it is. That's 100% all anyone can say about what happened here- Nothing more, nothing less, at least based on what we know so far. Where it appears my opinion may deviate from some people's "norm" in this thread, is that at this point I assume the arresting officer acted legally within his authority. I'm not ruling out something else, but nothing has been raised at this point to warrant the "I bet it's because he's black," take on this by some people. I wouldn't make that assumption about an officer I never heard of and I think it's a shame to believe that way. If you do, well, I'm sorry for you. That must be a tough mindset to live in. Let's put this another way: If this had been one of Baylor's guys getting stopped on the way back from Waco instead of one of ours, would you be so suspicious of the officer's actions? [/QUOTE]
