I stumbled across this on fark and didn't intend to watch the whole thing but it was interesting so i did. Definitely raises some questions.

I dont have the patience for that kind of crap with cops. I would have flipped shit after the lying and told him f off my civil rights.

You must be mistaken. Police only give blacks a hard time.

That is a very interesting article. Illinois is known as being highly corrupted.

Although I must acknowledge that my personal experience has not had any such problems. I have had an Illinois State Police officer drive up next to me at 60mph in a 45mhp construction zone to visually signal me to slow down, and I continued on my way unmolested. Then there was the holiday weekend driving to Galena, IL in the NW corner of the state where they had an Insurance (DWI) checkpoint. I had my old proof of insurance and not the current card. The Illinois State Police still let me go cleanly, without a warning or a ticket. I have not had the problems other people complain about.

Even a Wisconsin State Patrol allowed me to go with only a warning after being stopped for 70mph in a 55mph, with Illinois plates in Wisconsin.

The fact that this could surprise anyone is disturbing.

On the Insight forums, someone posted a story about being interrogated and searched while driving an Insight that they had just bought home. The way the officers acted is just disgusting. Absolute power absolutely corrupts some individuals, and those individuals need to be weeded out of the system.

I've been let off by the cops so many times its crazy.

One time I was driving through a speed trap with expired everything (moving a car to another state, it hadn't been driven for a year) and the guy just flags me to pull over, pulls up next to me and says "licence plate light is out" and keeps driving.
