Texas doesn’t have the guts to secede, everyone knows it. Texan is just easy way of saying big talking coward. And if Texans get pissy, then go ahead and prove me wrong. But they won’t, because they are.

And morons keep talking about seceding. If that ever came to be I’m one of the first outta here 

How else was it going to get back from the 99 cent quicklube?

Here’s a prime example of the extent of how so f’ed up Texas and it’s right-winged B.S. takes care of the people. First Texas dealerships are the worst. They lobby and scam and according to Texas gov, it’s ok because you know bizness and good ole boys. Then there’s Texas insurance where you pay and pay and you’re the…

Three of the most heinous types of companies in one story? Insurance companies, car dealerships, and Texas? Is it my lucky day? Should I buy a lottery ticket?

Should count himself lucky the baggie didn’t contain fentanyl. Just shows you how bright these cops are, gloves after the fact ain’t gonna help him there...

“63 in a 45 IS worth a traffic stop.”

And it is entirely possible that the bag the officer removed from the suspect was NOT the same bag that the officer put back in to the car. Putting on gloves AFTER removing the bag from the suspect’s pocket is in itself suspicious. Yeah, if cops want to regain the trust of the public, don’t do suspicious stuff over…

The title suggests the stop itself was not warranted (it was), but the article itself clarifies author didn’t think “traffic stop that’s never really about speeding the first place.”

Quick question: have you or your passengers have ever been pulled out of the car and searched for a speed violation?

Think 300-400ft not a bloody 1/4 mile. Also 7K ft altitude. 

Why don’t you go elsewhere if you disagree with what you’re reading here?Otherwise, you just look like an attention-starved troll.

I can clearly see that you didn’t read the article all the way. That’s on you.

The “Back the Blue” crowd really only loves cops when they’re doing bad things like this. I’m not sure what their goal is. Do they want all Americans to stop questioning LEOs when they do illicit shit like this? Pretty sure that’s fascism.

This is the whiny thread. Every article has one. It’s best to just ignore it and keep on scrolling.

I got a speeding ticket for supposedly doing 60mph in a 40 zone, despite the fact that I had just gone around an extremely slow corner on a mountain road and there’s no way I could have even sped up to 60mph before the next corner in my stock S13. The officer didn’t use a radar gun, and he was parked on the side of…

Don’t bother with this one. You’ll never get a reasonable discussion out of them, just a lot of reheated Fox News bad takes.

Where does the article say they shouldn’t have been pulled over?

We are all humans but the bottom line here is that power corrupts most folks. When you can get away with being a pos, and make a career out of it, something is wrong big time...I try to judge cops without pre conceived notions as a rule, but it usually takes only a few minutes of interaction with most of them to…

Before I was a 46 year old dad who drives 3 miles out of the way to save 20 cents per gallon at Costco (the math still works out)... I’d say I was pulled over about 15 times for speeding. Anywhere from 15 to 35 mph over the limit. Not once was I ever asked to get out of the car (or subjected to any search).

If only there weren't so many proven instances of bent cops doing exactly what this cop appeared to be doing we wouldn't have assumed the worst.
