Big difference between saying that many cops do something, and saying
that the law is such and such.

No walk on the wild side for you, eh ? As far as believing that
something has to be codified to have a reality, then you haven't been
living in the real world. You have to remember that we have individuals
out there, under the color of the law, that have to interpret a
situation on the cuff. More often than not, they will err on the side of
caution, and then deal with the consequences later. Granted that they
tutored in police science, whatever that may be, but the lack of respect
for civil liberties is rampart, er 'scuse me, rampant. Slobodan Dimitrov
