Why don't you get up in arms >over the small percentage of drivers that are causing the response? You really don't get it, do you? It's not about whether somebody is doing something right or wrong, it's whether the police have the right to act in the manner they are. Common belief is the police are there to catch the 'bad guys', whoever they may be. In actuality, they are supposed to be there to uphold the rights of the citizens and of the state. They should be upholding our right to privacy, safety, and security via trained police work, not fishnet tactics that ensnare the whole to catch a few. If you aren't doing anything wrong, would you submit to a strip search to prove it? Why should you have to prove your innocence - it's the police and crown's job to prove guilt and we are under no obligation to make their job easier.
