Randle, you have covered everything perfectly as best as I could describe it. My "bad experiences" are (almost)nothing of the sort. Every reason that I have been stopped (except one) was justifiable, even if it wasen't legal. *Like I implied earlier if the police were allowed to do as they did in the 1950's (in my mind) there would be far less overall problems. The use of a cell phone driving really gets up my butt, except right now it's only illegal on federal property. I don't want more laws, ideally we need more authority given back to the police.
Driving while useing a phone should fall under a vague description like wreckless driving or something.
Oh the only definate unjustified reason I was ever ticketed was "speeding in a school zone". It was 30 minutes after the posted time , no children were present, no lights flashing, I was 5 mph under the posted speed limit and the response from the nice officer was "well they are going to change it in the next few weeks". I went to court four times (the officer never showed) the judge finally threw it out.
