If so i guess the cop was pissed but in the end i couldnt justify spending 4k on a lawyer just to get out of probably a 200 dollar ticket and to be able to say "told ya so" to the cop.
as for thinking your that dumb...see my above comment about the 4k vs. i told ya so and $200 ticket....

How is what the officer did at all illegal? The OP wouldn't even answer a simple question. And BTW, it is not illegal. A simple smerk can be construed as probable cause. The officer was doing what he felt was right for someone who was being an *** to him. He had probably cause, the license plate was covered. End of story. People want to take their rights over the limits, that's the problem.
There is a BIG difference between understanding your constitutional rights and taking them overboard.

Being an *** to an officer is not a reason to violate your constitutional rights, no matter how much they may "deserve" it. I've always been respectful to an officer when I am pulled over... if they do not return that respect then yes I will be an ***. Sure he may have a badge and a gun and may think he is above the citizen... but that is not the case. In the case of asking to be searched I will definately turn a video camera on, respectfully decline the search and make him get a warrant.
#1 - my lawyer would chew up and spit out a cop like that, and #2, that is bullshit to begin with..that just goes back to cops trying to show their power over normal people.
True story - i once paid my lawyer over $4k and strung it out over 2 years just to get a simple speeding ticket thrown out..i told the cop i would get it knocked out and i did

Just out of curiosity, do you mind citing which constitutional right the officer withheld from him? There was no illegal search and a person can be detained without charge if there is probable cause, i.e. someone calling you in for reckless driving.
You paid 'your lawyer' or your dad did? If you were up to spend $4k just to prove a point, why not make that car a little faster or upgrade from the LT1?

You're actually right there. That trooper was certainly the newest rookie on the whole force.
BWAAA HAHAHAHAHA!!! I wish the cop who gave you that ticket could read that. 
You'd win in the end though, because he would laugh at you so hard he'd choke on his doughnut and die.
I didn't see any actual disagreement there. 
He refused, the cop called the K9, he didn't come, the cop let him leave. Was nice about the whole thing.
If you meant about the pulling out thing, any time a cop tells you to exit your vehicle, you must do so. There are Youtube videos that instruct motorists how to handle traffic stops (like, drug traffickers, teenage pot smokers, etc.). Even those videos tell you to get out if instructed to do so. If you've watched many episodes of Cops, you'll agree that refusing to get out of the car when a cop tells you to do so always has some pretty harsh consequences.

When people get it through their heads that policeman and citizens are on the same level and we do have rights maybe a lot of this kind of non-sense will stop. I've never been asked to have my vehicle searched... the first time I do I will respectfully decline and assert my right to unreasonable search and seizure... tell the cop respectfully to get a warrant and I will sit there. To me it is never a waste of time to assert your rights as a person. Just the same as open carrying a firearm... i've seen people even cops get that "look" when they see it... do I care? No. If someone gives me **** about it I will again respectfully state my rights and if I feel those are being violated I will be on the phone with a lawyer and will go to any length to make sure that person is reprimanded.

Haven't watched the clip yet. What part of my post did you not understand? I wasn't even referring to the clip, merely a statement in reply to Black 95 Z28 stating because the guy was an *** to the officer it gave the officer a right to search without just cause. It does not. And I limited my response to just the issue of searching a vehicle or a person just for the hell of it. Any person saying NO to a search of person or property without a warrant is perfectly legal and constitutional.

Oh I understand about exiting the vehicle, which I would have no problem with, but of course I would shut the door and make sure my video camera is on because they won't be searching it without a warrant. And I won't be wasting my time for exercising my right to privacy and unreasonable search. I know they would not find anything in the truck anyways, and if it did happen to be a "dick" officer and thinks they could tear my truck apart they got that wrong too because I'd have it on film and would take that to court as well.
