As Long As Your Car Is Stopped Anyway
• Simple JusticeThe theory underlying the law enforcement panacea in Whren v. United States,
approving of pretext automobile stops, is that no one can drive any
distance without breaking a traffic law. Thus, if a cop follows a car
long enough, he'll have justification to stop it and, well, have his
way. Since a cop's claim that you swerved across a line, failed to
signal or drove 3 miles over the speed limit is more than sufficient
cause to stop, it's really not necessary to follow for too long if a
stop is in the offing.

If they push too hard, we won't only repeal the gun laws. We'll repeal the the driving laws right along with gun law repeal. How will we do it? When we realize that we aren't going to let them take our guns, we won't stop there. We will move ahead by not letting them steal our money through traffic fines. And they'll let us, too, when they see our guns.
