It's inadvisable to drive through Southern states already due to cops. They hold that the normal constitutional protections don't apply due to the border, they have deported American citizens, they have been caught planting drugs, the vast majority of civil asset forfeitures are people who had under $1000 seized without evidence literal highway robbery.

Then there were the ladies who were legally kidnapped and taken to a hospital to have their buttholes search on a vague suspicion of drugs

Texas state troopers caught on camera probing women’s privates aren’t isolated incidents: lawyers

But wait years later they actually passed a law making it illegal to probe your asshole without a warrant because that's something you need a law for

Which is why they then got sued for getting a warrant on a flimsy pretext and having a doctor do it...then continued to do it themselves as well

Basically you may or may not get raped or robbed by the police even before this unpleasantness.

But wait there's more if you are pregnant and they believe you represent a danger to your fetus they reserve the right to hold you until you give birth in a prison shower like they did to that druggy chick!
