So you claim these three things exist, but the reality is that they don't. Cops have way too much power. There is plenty of oversight, its just not reported in the media every 10 seconds because there is no need to do so.
Police agencies and News agencies do not get along, typically because news agencies can't even seem to get the facts straight in a major crime event in their reporting area, let alone get the facts straight when it has something to do with the integrity of the department. There is plenty of oversight, its just doesn't get reported.
They can pull you over at their discretion,
Wrong, They can pull you over with reasonable suspicion.
they can search your vehicle,
With probable cause or exigent circumstances (presence of a weapon, etc)
You can question me... whats your point?
they can arrest you for no reason
They can arrest you with probable cause that you have committed a crime, reviewed by a judicial official, usually a magistrate to determine if probable cause does in fact exist....
they can really do whatever they want.
No, we can't. Your just too paranoid to see that, and never will, and Im talking to a ****ing brick wall here.
WRONG
probably a lot of activity is encouraged if it "gets results".
This is true, alot of activity is encouraged if it gets results, its how reducing crime works. Only the activities im referring to , and you are referring to, are absolutely polar opposites, knowing you that is.
Only when things are caught on tape and shown to the public do proper wheels start moving. There is not enough enforcement by the People.
You mean when the media gets involved its when the proper wheels start moving.... you know nothing about what goes on within your local police department...
