Do you consent to searches ?

That would get really awkward when the trooper is a former Marine and you are not...you just have the fake hat.

I'm sure he'd give you something - so you'd wind up with more than the fake hat...

Hence the (sarc) smiley. It would probably not end well if you tried to go full "DI" on any cop that was a former Devil (and there are lots), let alone an actual former DI.

If anyone does, for the love of God, please video it.

My hotel was right across from the airport so I could wake up and fly right out the next morning. I got on the toll road to the airport and pretty much immediately had a state trooper behind me. It was almost midnight, I had out-of-state plates, and I was the only other car on that road. He followed me the entire length of the road. I'd pull over to pay a toll, he'd pull over to the shoulder to wait for me. I did exactly 64 mph for what seemed like an hour. No way in hell was I going to give him an excuse to pull me over and delay unloading the car and going to bed.

Got on the toll in Georgetown and exited at the airport. That is quite a stretch of road. The speed limit was 75, now 80. I do 4 over. Unfortunately, you took the long way and paid, but could have run 70+ the short way, the whole way, for free!

I've been asked to be searched a few times, but only once was I concerned. It wasn't the search I was concerned with, I was worried about cops with happy trigger finger. They found a baseball bat every time.
