Look, I'm a civil libertarian (yes and a monarchist) and I have no qualms about calling out cops if they are crossing the line. But this is not the case here. These herbs were obviously out looking for trouble and they found it. Or more accurately they started it.
1. In every state when a cop asks for your drivers license you are legally obligated to produce it.
2. If you think a cop is overreaching you can demand his badge number and name AFTER you have complied with his instructions. File a complaint or take it to the courts. Refusing to obey a cop at a check point is illegal.
3. Check points are legal in some states and not in others. This happened in California. Check points are legal here.
They are #^&@ed.
I also think the cops deserve kudos for behaving in a very professional and restrained manner when dealing with these clowns. On which note I hope they both get fined and the idiot behind the wheel has his DL revoked.
