I found this hilarious post by Catherine Bleish on her blog<\/a> about IVAW member Will Stewart-Starks who was pulled over by the cops in Round Rock, TX, supposedly because he and his companion had an IVAW bumpersticker on their car, oh, and they were speeding. <\/p>\n

A New York State trooper once told me that cops give you a 10% leeway on the speed limit. So if they were going 6 miles per hour over the speed limit and the speed limit was 30, the cops would have forgiven 33 mph but not 36. So pulling them over for speeding was pretty standard. There’s a reason they call it a speed LIMIT.<\/p>\n

But anyway, Stewart got mouthy with the cop and now wants legal help to sue the Rolling Rock police department for violations of his civil rights (and wants contact information for the ACLU)<\/p>\n

I refused to tell specifically where we were going and pointed out my right to do so and its irrelevance to a routine moving violation stop. Upset he warned me, \u201cif I was prepared to take this to the next level\u201d and was soon told to step outside the vehicle. Another officer, Sergeant Eric Mount had already approached the scene and remained with the driver. Upon exiting the vehicle I took the keys from the ignition, rolled up my window, and locked my door. Standing outside I began to put the keys into my pocket when I was yelled at not to. I was immediately told to stand in front of the passenger door, forced around, arms pulled behind my back, fingers spread, interlocked, and squeezed against the keys in my hand. Later my left arm would ache from being jerked back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So because Stewart was such a whiny little brat, the cops searched the car and brought in the dogs, found nothing and released the duo. Stewart was afraid they’d “plant” evidence – it didn’t happen, but I’m sure it gave him PTSD worrying about it. <\/p>\n

Of course, because Stewart is a whiny brat he’s not willing to let it go;<\/p>\n

I have attempted to contact ACLU in Texas with no success, YAL, C4L, and representatives Lynn Jenkins, Dennis Moore, and TX rep. Lloyd Doggert. I have yet to hear back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe you’re not having any success because even the ACLU recognizes a drama queen and a standard traffic stop when they see one. <\/p>\n

Getting pulled over for speeding and getting searched because you’re a mouthy little brat isn’t a violation of your civil rights, dumbass. It’s happened to all of us, but we usually don’t act like a spoiled two-year-old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
