“Cops don’t need a reason to make a stop...; but the stop itself can be performed simply because the cop saw a reason.”
If cops use that cyclical reasoning/tautology and get away with making stops for no reason because they saw a reason, judges ought to have then decertified as LE and certified as threats tot he people as unstable and dangerous.
Seems your “long line of cops” lineage has made it an “us versus them” pathology in your mind(s).
We often feel that way too, BTW.
Project much?
