I got pulled over yesterday for Driving While Poor. I drive an older American car (in preparation for the coming Depression), and it doesn't fit in the upscale town where I live and work. The cop followed me for a couple miles and then pulled me over for having one bulb burned out on a multi-bulb center brake light (is that even probable cause for the cops to stop someone? UPDATE: not according to the Vehicle Code). He then took a long time running my license, and even questioned me as to whether I'd been drinking (daytime, midweek).
What kind of country is this when a guy can't even drive home from work without being hassled by the cops? I don't condone Obama's terrorist buddy Bill Ayers, but I'm starting to know how he feels.
