I have been subject to search without probable cause when traveling out of state. I have had housecalls paid by police sent to notify me that pursuing justice against a scumbag of means who committed bodily harm to one of my family members was unwise.
If you're implying with your line of questioning that I'm some antiestablishment dunce with no experience in the matter, you are sorely fucking mistaken. I will preempt your next leading questions by saying neither I nor the people I associate with are guilty of anything past a misdemeanor, caught or otherwise. I'm a nice suburban white boy who plays videogames and is afraid of getting in a fight. I don't spend my days crawling around society's underbelly "looking for trouble" as your repertoire of tired cliches will next lead you to suggest. There is something fucking wrong here.
Maybe it's restricted to the cities I've lived in, but trouble with police finds you if you do anything more than hide in your room with the shades drawn in my experience.
Keep on with the "down with the system!" mocking though guys, you're making a great case for yourselves.

This is a very valid issue people forget about. What is true in your neighborhood isn't true across the world.
