    Don’t take the job if you ain’t willing to take a bullet over a traffic stop. That’s the job. You don’t get to violate rights for your own safety. Your safety is secondary as a cop. If you can’t handle that fact of the position then you would be a shit cop.

    Pizza delivery drivers have a higher chance to get shot than a fucking cop and yet you don’t hear pizza drivers capping people left and right for their own safety. So I don’t wanna hear your bullshit.

    Die for that traffic stop pig. You wanted the badge without the risk.

      Are we still talking about the window? How did telling him to roll his opaque window down violate his rights?

        Because it isn’t a lawful order. License and registration are all that’s required for a traffic stop. If the officer had probable cause that a crime had been committed, then it would be a lawful order, but they didn’t. Therefore, his rights were violated.

        Because he isn’t legally obligated to keep his window rolled down. The cop doesn’t get to enforce whatever he wants with violence. You may get your fefees hurt that the guy wants to roll his tinted window up and keep you from sniffing around his car and making sure the scary black man doesn’t pull a gun on you, but he is simply not obligated to make the cop feel safe. So the cop can go fuck himself and get over it.

        He is not legally obligated to roll down the window. Using violence to enforce something that someone isn’t obligated to do is a violation of rights you boot licking dumbass.
