One of my favorite sites is run by the great libertarian researcher, Radley Balko. It's called TheAgitator.com.
Well, today (3-15-12), he posted a YouTube video put together by a pair of Trekkies who were pulled over in Illinois on their way home to Ohio after a Star Trek convention.
The cop who pulled over the Trekkies (who looked like they could've been extras in 'Galaxy Quest' they fit the stereotype of dorky nerds so perfectly) was just this slimy little thug who was desperately trying to find ANYTHING he could arrest them for. So he just made up probable cause saying that he thought the passenger "looked nervous", and then ruining these two dudes' vacation.
The Trekkie driver, God bless 'im, learned his mistake later on - NEVER consent to a search for anything because the best case scenario is that the cops will detain you for a day as they impound your car and tear it up (the BEST case scenario) and there's a good chance they'll just make up some shit or plant drugs to bolster their arrest records or seize your property to bolster their coffers. So, the driver put together this little video.
If you're going to any SW Celebration conventions....watch out for the Empire's agents, dudes.
