So police should be able to cuff you for being anywhere at any time so they can figure out why youre there?


Yes, especially if you're being an uncooperative little cunt face idiot

Yes.

Police have the power to detain pretty much anyone they please, but this belies a social contract that they typically follow that goes something like this: Don't start none - won't be none.


I have never in my life had a police officer even give me a glance, because I'm a normal human being who doesn't stalk random buildings and get people to call the police on me. Behavioral indicators have consequences - you can't just be acting sketchy as fuck and expect society not to respond at least with curiosity.


Sounds like you're okay with creating a blatant police state.

That is not at all what I said.

Nothing about what I believe about police includes giving them unchecked police state-like power. What I support is letting the cops do what they want (because they are generally getting it right - like 99.9% of the time) - then using the courts to figure out which ones fucked up and punish them accordingly.

In this case the courts have already ruled on it. You're allowed to flip off police officers and there are no loitering laws so they have no right to pull them over.

I can't speak to how this particular court did or did not correctly apply justice - but all I'm saying is that ideally, this is how I like the system to be run:

Competent officers who exist within an acceptable bounds of corruption - maybe a little drug selling on the side, a little extortion here and there (we know its going to happen and that's just the reality of being human.) - but who are generally good and decent people who accomplish far more for society than they tarnish.

Then have a robust court process to deal with the most corrupt and contemptable officers who have stepped way beyond the bounds of what I think is acceptable.
