Here's a little story. Last year I got pulled over in downtown Nashville for driving about a half a block with no lights. The cop asked if I had been drinking. I said no (Just a side note, I don't drink alcohol). He asked for my "paperwork" and then took me to the back of my car and made me take a sobriety test. I passed of course and he sent me on my way. I do believe my civil liberties were violated. He said when you forget to turn your lights on, most of the time it's because you are drunk. Wow, I may have been profiled.
The difference between me and some others with differing opinions, I'm glad they were out looking for drunk drivers. Maybe save a life or something silly like that. I thanked to the officer for being out there protecting the rest of us from drink drivers. Gave him my paperwork, took the little test and went on about my business.
