    Its totally fine, in general you will tend to find that police are really plesent when you dont make their lives difficult by refusing to comment.

    Solution: Don't carry drugs, drive under the influence, carry weapons, etc. while out in public. Then there should be no issue.

    It's not really that, I just think that's a huge intrusion on basic human rights.
    A cop shouldn't be able to search you, your vehicle, and your house on a whim.

    They won't search you without reason either. Last search I had (I have had several) was because I walked out of a store and set the shop alarm off on the way out so of course I was searched on suspicion of shoplifting. Most of my searches have been for that actually. Had a drugs dog sniffing at me once, no idea on that one, I did not have anything on me and never have, thankfully wasnt taken off for cavity search.

    Never been searched without what I take to be a very much valid reason. I just seem to have poor luck with shop alarms going off with a police officer stood nearby and me walking through them.

    My vehicle has been searched, phone thing I mentioned.

    Houses cannot be searched without warrant.

    Not where I got it from, that was literally my own "writing". The quote I included was not my own though.

    Woah woah woah woah

    Surely they can't cavity search you without a warrant/probable cause, can they? That's really bs if they can.
    It probably has something to do with how you guys trust your cops more over there. I don't exactly distrust all cops, but I wouldn't like them having that kind of power.

    Did i not just give a probably cause. A drugs dog sniffing at a guy usually indicates he is carrying drugs, therefore it is within fair reason to drug search the person on suspicion of possession.

    Frisk searched for setting off shop alarms, shop alarms that in theory go off when stolen goods pass through, therefore searched on suspicion of shop lifting.

    It is no different to american police shoving their hand up your arse if they think that you are carrying drugs up there.


    Its not like I just walked down the street minding my own business and then was randomly searched. Although this does happen for cars, usually for cars they stop you, check lights and tyres are fine and in working order then send you on your way or give you a fine for the broken light/worn tyre. Diesels they will also probe for red diesel which is illegal for road use (same in states, I checked)

    Drug dogs will sniff you regardless of whether you have drugs on you or not. Their reaction upon sniffing is what indicates if you're carrying something or not.
    If the dog does something to indicate you're carrying drugs, yeah, that's probable cause to search you. I wasn't clear on what you were saying.
    You usually won't get searched for shopping alarms going off on you over here. More often than not it's a false alarm and a clerk just forgot to take a transmitter off of something. I guess it technically is probable cause though.

    If you aren't doing anything illegal, you shouldn't have to be concerned about being searched.

    I can see how you think it's intrusive, but it's kinda stupid to worry about something if you know that you have nothing to be searched for. Better to be safe than sorry.

    They don't train the dogs to sniff everything. Maybe they will sniff you more because you could have been in close proximity to a drug they sniff out, so they won't be able to smell weed if you haven't been near it recently. :p

    In some areas, cops will set up a roadblock (illegally) and try to search your car without probable cause just to rack up some money. You can get away with not letting them search your car because they know its illegal, and anybody that knows their rights will cause them a lot of hell in court if their car is searched illegally. Its mostly in the western states that this happens though. Also, its true that drug sniffing dogs will sniff you even if you dont have drugs. Thats what theyre trained to do. If youre drug free, theyll move on to sniff another person. If they smell something, theyll sit down to indicate that you have drugs. (unless youre a celebrity) youre probably going to get searched after that. If the cop doesnt find anything, (false positive by the dog) youre usually free to go. And all those methods of "hiding smells" from the dogs dont work. Coffee, peanut butter, ammonia, none of those work.

    I am great at reading and troubleshooting code. I can read just about any code I've tried. I just can't write code at all.

    He won't. All of our judgement of time seems right, but basing that this year of 2015 depends on beliefs of a religious figure, it may be 5379 or 5693. We never know. We need a better starting measure besides the birth of a figure that has no proof of existence.

    Actually, he's right. Time is a human invention. It's a relevance to help us know when to do certain things. So, yes, no one really know what year it is. It could be 1, it could be 4,000,000,000, no body knows.

    And, no, I'm not baked beyond belief. It's passed 9 P.M. EST and I go all "Sober Stoner".

    Well if yall wanna get technical, the universe is ~13.8 billion years old. If you want to include time from alternate universes/past universes, then this is basically year infinity. Gimme what definition of time youre using, ill give you the approximate time :p Time is a real thing, just the measurement of time is a human construct. Its rather arbitrary too. A year is 1 complete revolution of the earth around the sun, a day is one revolution of the earth (there are 365 of those in a year) Those kind of make sense. But what is the second or minute based off of? Why are they based off of 60 instead of 10 or 100? And what asshole decided that "this is year zero"
