Our government has become oppressive. Even the most law abiding citizens feel threatened when they even see a cop car. I am personally aware of several instances where my friends have been stopped for no good reason. When they ask why they were stopped the cop makes up a lie. Didn't come to a complete stop, went over the fog line, etc. When my band would leave a night club at 2am, I've had cops do u turns on the highway, rush up behind me to try and intimidate me -get me to swerve or whatever, and follow me home. Although I hadn't had any alcohol, they assume anyone out at that hour leaving a bar is an easy mark. If they can't fund their departments through enough DUIs, they simply start roadblocks -which IMHO is a violation of our constitutional rights- to get a few more. I am one Vietnam vet who believes our country's best days are long behind us.
