My man, that's why I said "of course, not YOU". I've seen your posts, and have a pretty good idea of where you stand.

I was just trying to explain the thought process of a civilian when the advice we continually get is "comply with our demands, then fight me in court".

It's really a lose/lose, no matter the choice we make. We are susceptible to the whims of dirty or angry police, and even you must realize they exist, at least, in the same percentage as bad people in the general population. That's a scary thought considering the increased militarization and lack of accountability.

And I'm not of the opinion that this is a left/right or black/white issue, though it's very obvious that is the narrative.
