it doesn't really sound like it changes anything. the cops will still just lie and make things up to conducet a search or whatever they want to do.
I was with a firend two weeks ago and we got pulled over around 9pm, comming back from a gaming day (D&D). The 1st thing the cops says is "is your muffler a factory muffler?" (I was riding in a cheap factory KIA, there was nothing suped up about this ride at all). then the next comment was "you know its against Virginia law to have anything hanging from your review mirror (as he pointed to an air fresener that dagled a mere 4inches from the mirror). basically we were pulled over for no reason, and he was making up reasons to stop us and see if we were drunk or high (thank god we had are nerdy gaming t-shirts on, we look not even cool enough to find a beer). The Cops are the worst criminal on the street, they break the laws and the constitution at will on a daily basis, this ruling doesn't really say much to me.
PS Fuck the police.

I have had a couple of bad experiences with the police, but mostly they've behaved well. To call all cops liars and criminals and the like is just juvenial. Many police cars are equiped with video cameras and the officers conduct can be reviewed to see if it was proper. If neither of you filed a complaint against the officer who pulled you over then how do you expect to correct his behavior?
I think this ruling may make it harder to conduct some car searches and may impede law enforcement, but it's not unreasonable to require the police to have to reasonable cause or a search warrant to search a car.
I would not file a complaint as I was the passenger, and in no way of being charged with anything.
Since they can pull us over and literally make things up in front of us I don’t see the benefit in filing a complaint, as they could simply target the complainer every time they saw him/her on the road and simply make up infractions.
Juvenial (I think you meant juvenile)!?! What would you call someone who broke the law everyday of the week while at work, and lied to people at the same time about it?

Yes, your badass D&D self has really proven his point, here, quietly in this forum... But how did you answer the cops during the "supposed" investigation of your vehicle?
Did you go Ice - T on them and tell them to go fuck themselves? - Fuck Da Police!
Or did you retreate to your D&D world and promise to "get them one day"...?

I wasn’t driving, hence the reason I specifically mentioned riding. I did not speak to the officer, I refuse to talk to them, ever. Their job seems to be to get citizens to incriminate themselves with sly questions and horrible assumptions, not unlike your assumption of the situation I described, or your assumptions about people who play role playing games.
PS: I would never say that to a cop, even if I was Duke Nukem and had balls of steel. It has been my best experience to not even talk to police officers, and carry a passport so when they demand ID you can give them a US ID (which they have to accept but has no specific information on it except your name). They only get to see my drivers license if they pull me over while I am driving my truck.

its thier job to find you, con you into incriminating yourself, and then help prosecute you.
any legitimate evidence that they do not suck? or am i the only one who must provide evidence?
It is my experience that people who really really don't like cops regularly do things they're not suppose to be doing.
sounds like something a cop would say.

i guess you can put whatever label you want on it, the new D&D is a tactical war game, with minatures, and battle maps, its mostly about statistics, and math, mixed in with a little random chance from rolling dice.
but if you are more comfortable seeing it how you see it who am i to change your stereotype.
