Unfortunately, I drive a ghetto minivan which causes the police to profile me and has caused people in small towns to call the police on me if I am in a public park or in their neighborhood. I even had someone call the police on me at campground that I had pre-paid for and the police were not sympathetic at all to my right to just exist.

I am aware of stop and identify laws and know that a cop needs reasonable suspicion to demand to see your ID. However, can’t the cop just make up some lies about reasonable suspicion?

If a cop approaches me can I immediately start with: “Officer, do you have reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred, is in the process of occurring, or is about to occur?” It seems like that will immediately escalate things even if technically the law is on my side.

I just want a damn right to exist law and to not be a target for an overactive imagination by the police which treats me like a criminal until they can check me for warrants.

Honestly, I want to tell them to fuck off right away but I also don’t have money for a lawyer.

    Lol ok if different cops came to your front door multiple times a week, asking for ID, you don’t think you would feel harrassed.

    That’s privilege buddy.

      Your frontdoor usually doesn’t move from town to town, entering different jurisdictions … but ok buddy.

          It’s almost like cars and houses are different.

          I understand OPs situation. Your non-sense analogy isn’t adding anything.

            So you draw the line of a domicile somewhere between RV and van, just like the law says. Like a guy living in poverty is less entitled to peace because of his choice of cheap vehicle.

            Bootlicker.

              I did not draw such a line, no Sir or Madam. I’m not sure where you got any information on me making such distinctions. I really don’t know where you are getting this.

                You are right, you only implied it like a cunt. I suppose unintentionally which would mean you are an ignorant cunt.

                By “house” you are implying domicile, which can be a vehicle or mobile home. Or are you implying that all these people don’t actually qualify as being housed and therefore should expect regular police visits?

                Are you not making statements consistent with how to world is, or with some consistent internal logic?

                Do your words mean anything or not?

                  You brought up the fucking house. Go read your comment:

                  Alright, get a visit from the cops every time you move house or stay at a hotel.

                  I haven’t even mentioned it before. You’re living a phantasy in your head talking to yourself. I’ve never mentioned any of the stuff you’re talking about. Get off your high or seek mental health. Nothing of what you’re talking about originated from my comments.

                    Ok I’ll keep it simple for you, since you are struggling

                    It’s almost like cars and houses are different.

                    No, they are not when that’s where you live
