I have a confession to make:

Before this past weekend, I had never seen The Mighty Ducks.

Much of the game footage was shot at my H.S.'s arena. In some of the crowd shots, I can see some of my classmates (the movie asked for students to show up as extras).

Re: TRP: Changing Conferences Since 1999

So on the way back to Denver from Brownsville, TX I got pulled over by a Sheriff's deputy. As soon as he asked where I was coming from (Brownsville is a border town) I new that I was going to get the fine entertainment of watching a Texas Sheriff ransack my car. I know that the correct answer to the question "May I search your car?" is "No" but I couldn't help it. I told him to go ahead. Dude was pretty thorough. He didn't have his dog sniff the tires or anything, but he checked under the hood, under the false floor in the trunk, all kinds of places. I got a little worried that I might have some 'splainin to do when he ran across the license plates in the trunk, but since they were several years expired he let it go.

And, he never did give me a speeding ticket.

As much as I hate the idea of a cop searching my car, the correct answer is almost always "Yes" for the sole reason that a "no" almost guarantees they are going to search your car anyway and find something else to nail you on. Makes me slightly ill to even think about that.

My extreme immediate distrust of ANY police officer will basically keep me off the jury in any criminal case. I assume that they will go to ANY length to get a conviction, from lying on the stand to planting evidence.

I disagree. As does my adviser. You are right, he would have searched my car anyway. But if there is nothing to nail me on, and there wasn't, I say make him go to the trouble. And if he's a dirty cop who will plant something, he'll do that regardless. So I stand by what I said.

And Almington, I couldn't help it. For about 5 minutes my stomach was in a knot wondering what he was going to plant in my car. But then when I decided maybe he wasn't going to, I was able to find the humor in the situation. I actually found myself laughing almost uncontrollably while he was doing it. (I have no problem with drugs, although I don't do them and never have, but I am about the last person who would either be dumb enough, or have the gonads, to smuggle anything into the country.)

I know that it couldn't be helped, my point was that I assume that most cops are just one step (and a small one that that) above the majority of the actual criminals they are "protecting" us from.

I agree and feel the same way. My gut reaction was absolutely to tell him no, and I know that my buddy who is a lawyer will tell me that I should have said no. I know (or hope) that most cops are honest, but one run-in with a dirty cop can ruin your life.
