I don't know if you were being sarcastic with that post, but in case you weren’t, I don't see absolutely anything wrong with how he handled the situation in that other incident, either, and the cops were totally out of line. He did make a few mistakes there (definitely shouldn't have given them the keys to his car, because by doing so he basically consented to a search), but overall he acted within his rights and was being more respectful to them than I would have.

BTW, I'm not bashing cops; I know quite a few local, State and Federal LEOs and they are all great guys and true professionals while on the job, but a few assholes like those above give them all a bad name.
