No proof of insurance ticket is STEEP
Moderator: General Moderators
I am leaving Paradise as soon as possible.
I do have to admit, the cops have probable cause to search me. I'm on probation from a DUI three years ago (less than a month left). I also have to say that the first 10-15 times I have been searched, I didn't get angry. The last few times (like 3 or 4 so far this year) I have been searched, I got very angry. I'm just sick and tired of being searched every time I get pulled over. They never have any reason to suspect I have something to hide. I'm always very polite until they say "you are on searchable probation. I'm going to search your car now". Then they throw my stuff all over my car and embarrass me in front of everybody in town. It gets very old.

I completely understand your point of view.
But here's mine:
Two years ago I lost my nephew. 9 years old.
He was waking on the sidewalks and got run over by some stupid drunk 40 year old pathetic guy.
He lost his license for (3months). YES 3 months 'no driving' for killing someone. Because he had 'social problems' he just had to go to some crapshait therapy.
So he's driving his car again for 1 year and 9 months now and I hope they search his car and take a breath test EVERY DAY if they could.
I hope noone else crosses his path of destruction.
Drinking and driving if stupid, immature and if it happens once, like in an emergency or something, I can understand that. But coming home from a pub, 4 o' clock in the afternoon and run over a kid: take your license away for life. Heck, take his life.

In my defense, I wasn't drunk when I got my DUI, there is just a zero tolerence for minors, so I got a DUI anyway. That doesn't make it right, but I'm just saying I wasn't driving around trashed. I'm sorry about your nephew.
