I admire you for having the courage to just leave like that, but I think here they'd have arrested you. Especially if it was the state police, and not some local yokel. <br /><br />I try to pick my fights now. I'm not a particular enthusiast when it comes to the police, but they aren't on my "list" either. Besides, I don't think I'd be so pissed off with Trump as President, as I was when Clinton was President and all the Waco and Ruby Ridge stuff was going on, with Janet Reno sitting up there pulling the strings. It meant more then.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110246970957910039.post-48291543534113260772017-03-03T19:15:20.455-06:002017-03-03T19:15:20.455-06:00Dude...been there, done that.

They told me"no, you can't leave". I said they'd have to arrest me, as I was tired of waiting....We could explain it to the judge. <br /><br /><br />I left. they didn't arrest me. <br /><br />YMMV. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110246970957910039.post-42840504864321551962017-03-03T16:57:12.788-06:002017-03-03T16:57:12.788-06:00I wouldn't.

Standing on principle, I said no.<br /><br />They told me to pull over and wait until they got a warrant. I sat there for about five hours, in the sun, with my wife getting sick from the heat. I told them they could search the truck after about two hours, but they said no, they had ordered the warrant and I had to wait.<br /><br />Then when it came, they said they were going to search the truck, which they did in about 30 seconds, and that was it.<br /><br />The real world doesn't work like it ought to, but it's the one we live in.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
