This matters because of the profiling. I wear a Grateful Dead patch on my vest because they are my favorite band and an Eagle/flag patch because I was in the military and respect my country. Last fall I was pulled over, he did not pull out until I was past him and he thought he saw a three patch setup. I was going 60 on the nose, in the left hand lane. He pulled me over and said that I was doing 65 and that traveling in the left hand lane was not legal except to pass. It was total BS. I went to court and the judge threw out the lane violation but had to get me for something so the over the speed stuck even though I was not speeding. Profiling sucks.

ROTFLMAO!!
What a narrow minded bigoted statement. Or maybe you only know 2.
Like stating "all cops" are dirty cause the one who is my neighbor smokes weed. He is one of two cops I have known for 10+ years. Are 50% of all cops also dopers?
Limited knowledge and experience is a sad way to live a life.
Speed much?
Every culture has a bad element and doesn't apply to everyone.
Not every cop is on the take even though 2 got busted here last Feb.
Not every priest is a pedophile even though 1 in my city got busted in 2009
Not every politician is a crook even though two have been imprisoned for white collar crime here since 2008.
Not every college football player is taking $ from alumni even though many are caught doing so every year.
Not every stripper is hooking.
Not every 1%er is a criminal.

Lighten up Archie. Innocent until proven guilty is supposed to mean something.

Precisely the reason I will probably not be a cop when I am done with this gig. It don't matter if it's a "Wild Hogs", "Wild Pigs", or any other 3PP, I actually know a few cops that will straight up tell you, "If I see a 3PP, I pull it over.". Total BS.

You haven't met very many have ya? With that narrow mindedness, you may want to steer clear and not meet any.

The officers knew they were coming, they prepared for it, waited for the group to do something wrong, had marked unit(s) innitiate the stop, then rolled in the special units.
Given my years of experience I would say you are probably correct.

Good points!

While I have fought bigger people or more people alone several times, when I was a cop, (and always won) you don't last long that way, so handcuffing them while you do admin. checks is preferred. Even when I was outnumbered, I still got sued (and harassed by the FBI) for winning the fight.
