I agree with all your points, I just don't trust police at all. it's been repeatedly proven they will lie and jam you up, and they have too much power. their word means shit to me, video, or at least audio of it happening, even a legit witness, or they are lying off the bat.
I was even recently pulled over by a cop in an unmarked car saying I cut him off. he didn't pull me over until I flipped him off for blaring his horn at me. he reversed on the highway to follow me off the exit and still didn't put on lights, he was a road rager to me at that point and was ready to defend myself, I carry CCW also. he pulled up to my driver's side and yelled at me from the other lane, no indication at all it was a traffic stop, so I told him to fuck off, didn't care or know that he was police.
when he followed me into the parking lot, he finally put on lights. I got out recording, dashcam going as well. I repeatedly tell him if he's a real cop to get someone else there now, I didn't give him my id, just kept telling him to give me a ticket or fuck off. kept telling him he was butthurt over the middle finger, if I was really guilty of cutting him off, he should have pulled me over when I got in front of him, not after I flipped him off. I must have told him to fuck off and fuck your mom 10 times. I wasn't having any of his shit.
another unit arrives with a ticket book, and he lied on the ticket, put some charge that was "reckless driving" about not coming to a stop before entering a highway, which was complete bullshit. I go to court, present dashcam of me making a safe lane change with blinker and space, judge is like wtf is this charge? immediately dismissed it, literally 2 min from calling my name.
cop accosts me outside the courtroom and still tries to tell me I'm wrong, admitting that he gets run off the road all the time. he's a shitty driver, claims he didn't see my blinker (no dashcam on his vehicle of course) and really pulled me over for hurt feelings. fuck him.
point is, I would have had reckless driving on my record had I not defended myself over this shitty cop. before the court date, I was looking at the exact citation and was driving myself crazy trying to figure out how that applied to what actually happened. luckily the judge saw and it was just as confused when he read it out loud. I fucking hate cops if you can't tell.
had to get cheats to stay alive, EVERYONE has cheats and just kill/teleport/blow your car instantly.
