I saw a news item recently that purported that a judge had ruled politeness to a police officer as consent to search. I don't think I will be anything more than barely civil to a LEO who wants a consent to search..chartreuse wrote:I guess because I see politeness as being as much about self respect as it is about being respectful to the other person.sjfcontrol wrote:Why is politeness supposed to be a one-way street? The officer (LEO or otherwise) can be as rude, nasty, or confrontational as he wants to be, yet you're supposed to be Caspar Milquetoast. The police can lie to you, but it's illegal to lie to them, even without being under oath. Seems backwards to me.
