I will come back for one last post to answer your question. They said that people were no longer being stopped unless they were showing obvious signs of intoxication, yet there I was, stone-cold sober, being harassed again simply because I was wearing sunglasses, and accused of being drunk.
You are also incorrect in saying that I flipped off "the world." In fact, I think this world is, in general, a great place. Memorial Stadium's Student Gate is an exception, and I am guessing many of the posters on this thread, given that they have no problem with insulting an anonymous poster who has done them no harm, would not have treated it with any more respect than I did.
And now, I am truly done with this discussion.
You should be proud of yourself for standing up for yourself. The cop should be ashamed of himself (I'm assuming it was a "he") for his petty vindictiveness and emotionally stunted power tripping. Unfortunately, it's all too common among law enforcement.
For all the grief you're getting here, I bet you thought you'd come on to the Stanford board. LOL. We're mostly a bunch of grumpy old men in a bad mood because we have a bad football team. That's why you're getting lectures on constitutional law and the pragmatism of swallowing your principles in the face of authority. We're mostly just jealous we're not as young as you and can no longer get into that kind of trouble.
Next time, though, put your hands in your jacket pockets before extending those middle fingers!
