I didnt want this to get on a bash LEO thread and I have never had a problem during a stop, BUT cops are human and do lie, I worked at the prosecutor's office and heard it discussed and seen it 1st hand. To me LE needs to be beyond reproach or you get the situation we have these days with the general loss of respect.

 

The bottom line rule is NEVER consent to a search and if they do it anyway, SUE, regardless if it is no harm done, there always is a foul and it needs to be addressed. I actually keep a FLIP cam in my car for the kids, but if I ever got pulled over with guns in the car, I would probably put it on and keep it out of view just in case.

This thread has gone far enough.
