It's just the bad ones that make the news.
Almost all cops are this way.

I was in my old whip before when I got pulled over for my exhaust. I had two cops who were clowns come up to me and started joking around with me with my car talking about how he'd leave me in the dust in a streetrace.
Then started clowning on me for my automatic
.
But good cops are good people.

I live in a VERY racist state (AZ) and for the most part, I've encountered nothing but good cops, I seen a person of hispanic decent's car brake down and no one stopped to help except a white male police officer. The only people I have an issue with is the sheriffs department they're nothing but jerks!

I've had one bad run in that changed the way I view them for the most part.
I was in Newport, going down to a bonfire. Making a right, I made eye contact with a cop going the other way. My back headlight was out, he caught up to me and pulled me over. I pulled over right away. Cop comes up, starts asking me where Im going etc...I hand him my paperwork, w/e...He asks me what I live by (mind you I live maybe 15 mins from Newport) I told him by CSUF ( my college) and he says "It's not that close" even though it's a 5 min drive to campus...He asks if I have been drinking, or doing drugs 3x and I say no, I've never smoked in my life.
He asks me and my passenger to step out of the car and we do. Another cop car rolls up, and pats us down, sits us on the curb. Meanwhile, other officer goes through my car and trunk and doesnt ask me. He says he has probable cause because I was nervous, and didnt look at him straight in the eyes.
Of course I had nothing, but ruined my night and made me wait more than an hour. Wish I got his name, would have had a case against him right away. Had to be because I am a 21 year old male, but I couldn't believe it.

WOW. I forgot that time as well...
Cops thought I was on meth, after they pulled over a SOBER driver for being drunk...Just pulling people over for no reason in Orange County I swear man.
They made me count backwards from 30, put my head back...After I passed the cop said "I still think ur on something..."

What exactly made him a bad cop? Wasting your time?
He asks permission for mostly everything, but the search. You gave him permission for all of that. I'm pretty sure if he asked you if he could search your car, you would have said yes.
Both parties were well-behaved. I really don't see the problem.
This really made you change the way you see cops?

He didn't have a right to search my car AND trunk what so ever. For answering a question "What do you live by?" in his opinion wrong?? 5 minutes away from a college that has 40,000 kids isnt something a 21 year old would answer right??
What he did was illegal. If I knew his name he would have been given at least a month leave.

Why is it illegal? He had probable cause.

No he didnt. What was his probable cause? He patted me down. Didnt have any smell of alcohol or weed. He was looking for drugs obviously.
So ur saying for every traffic stop, the cops have probable cause to go through our cars, trunks and glove compartments??

I thought you said probable cause was that you were nervous? Probable cause doesn't even have to be obvious. If a cop thinks you're suspicious, he can legally search your car. You could have told him that you did not grant him permission to search your car.
At least a month leave?
Tell me, did you get a ticket for the headlight?

I just took the LSAT, my gf's dad is an officer in SD, my best friends dad is a lawyer. I know the laws.
His probable cause was thinking I was nervous?? So as I said earlier, any cop can pull anyone over and say, "I think ur nervous, I'm going to search ur car."
Come on...
Flat out illegal.
I couldnt see full view of my car until he got to the trunk, I was in between the 2 cop cars.
I know there are good cops out there, don't get me wrong, I'm not on the side that every cop is bad, but this definitely changed my perspective.

You're totally wrong on this. The cop can use the "nervousness" as "probable cause" But when the "suspect" gives all the information that the officer needs and asks for the officer can no longer detain the "suspect." Keeping him there longer for no apparent reason other than his own bias or suspicion is an unlawful detention that can result in a civil lawsuit.

For no reason? Cop said you were nervous.
So you're saying he's lying about you looking nervous and it was just an excuse for him to search the car? Ok prove that.

Telling the cop you weren't drinking or getting out of the car for them does not have the same weight as them searching the car without reasonable cause. Regardless, the cops are not above the law, therefore they should be expected to adhere to what they're allowed to do and not what is assumed what would've happened if they asked for permission.
Since he obviously showed no probable cause for search, the cops definitely stepped out of bounds by searching without a warrant.
No matter how menial the infraction is, cops are enforcers of the law and therefore should be expected to know and follow all of the laws. Don't be an idiot and try to defend the cops when they obviously +%++!+ up here.
