Tim Wescott just taught that
Tim Wescott just taught that 70 year old man a lesson in acting like free human. All paid thugs defend their actions by saying "just following orders". That excuse has been used thoughout history by violent authoritarians.
Terry, the cops are good at
Terry, the cops are good at being intimidating. These people get caught because they answer questions that they don't need to. When a cop asks you where you're coming from and you know you have 4400 cigarettes in the trunk, it's pretty silly to give "the rez" as an answer. You don't have to lie, either. You can deflect the question with a question. You never have to answer the first question at all.
Cop: "Where ya coming from?" You: "Why did you pull me over, sir/ma'am?" Cop: "Why do you think I pulled you over and where are you coming from?" (The officer is fishing..it's their job..you don't have to admit to anything. They want you to incriminate yourself..confessions make their job as easy as pie.) You: "Am I getting a ticket, sir/ma'am?" Cop: "I pulled you over for (descriptive violation)." The officer may ask if he or she can look in your vehicle but you can politely decline. If they're asking, they might be suspicious but they don't have probable cause. If they did, they wouldn't be asking.
I'm not saying that it's a good idea to do any of the above, but if you're going to make cigarette runs to the rez, it's probably best to learn the game first. If you're going to go to the rez for untaxed cigarettes, I believe the limit is 400 cigarettes per person in the vehicle and each person needs their own receipt.
