but you can pull them over for numerous traffic violations....I don't see why you are arguing this point....if I see you driving and I have a hunch, I can pull you over for exceeding the speed limit and after questioning you if I am satisfied you are ok, I can let you off with a warning...."have a nice day"

Again and again and again here is a little snippet of a video that we are supposed to base an opinion on with out hearing both sides of the story. Agendas agendas, yawn. How boring.

Hmm...the Bible has that covered and most people know not to as is; it's basically common sense.

As far as an arbitrary 100 foot law; how can a cop determine where 100 feet is when writing someone up for that "infraction"? Common sense doesn't apply here. Sure, you can signal your intent 1/2 mile prior but other drivers hate following a car with a turn signal flashing when it means nothing. BTW - you can get a citation for that as well.

When they are of an agenda driven by progressive liberals, yes. Define "hate crime" and explain why it doesn't apply to all equally.

We get asked this all time by defense attornies.We have to prove our expertise... sometimes real time in court
When you get sent to traffic school you spend a week estimating speed and distance before you ever pick up a radar gun... you also learn landmarks.. many of which are a set distance .. phone poles ...street signs... many of which are a set distance by engineering and code. At the end of this week if you don't have a 95 percent accuracy with speed you fail that portion.
It isn't rocket science... its just science.

What more do you want? Would you be happier if the video was 18 hours long and showed every moment of his day from the time he got up, until he went to bed? He video taped an incident that most people would find to be ridiculous at best.

We did hear both sides of the incident. We heard to video maker's side, that the cop stopped him without probable cause. We heard the cop's side that he stopped him because he made direct eye contact. I'm willing to accept the cop's side of the story.
