Police Are Highly Valued - 2009-11-21 17:40:05
Personally I am very grateful some of my neighbors have decided to become Annapolis Police officers. It is not always a pleasant job, very few people actually choose to go into police work and without law enforcement there would be, anarchy. I have had the unpleasant experience of living where there is anarchy for extended periods; Port au Prince, Haiti during 2 violent revolutions and during a massive period of unrest in rural India. I much prefer to live where there are hard-working and very responsible law enforcement officers on the job: Annapolis, Maryland.

never waive your rights - 2009-11-20 16:30:47
Stupid to let a cop search your car, you have a right to refuse and he can not intimidate you, Of course he will get a K-9 and if the k-9 hits there is probable cause but there are a lot of lazy cops and who knows maybe the K-9 called in sick that day or was otherwise occupied. It's always best to decline the kind police's offer to search your car.

They would have searched the car anyway and said they had the right because they detected the smell of marujuana. If the police want to search they will one way or another.
