Judge rules you can drive away from a cop!
If a terrorist pig thug cop in Wisconsin walks up and knocks on your window, motioning for you to roll your window down, the state Supreme Court says you’re free to just drive away. The 5-to-2 ruling is a surprise to many people. Justice David Prosser explained their decision this way: "Although we acknowledge that this is a close case, we conclude that a law enforcement officer's knock on a car window does not BY ITSELF constitute a show of authority sufficient to give rise to the belief in a reasonable person that the person is not free to leave.” If Wisconsin officers pull you over for speeding or some other traffic violation, don’t just drive off. At that point, they do have the authority to detain you. But the ruling is still interesting because it highlights that a cop’s duty is to primarily serve and protect citizens. Judge Prosser even pointed out that pig thug cop interaction with citizens should not be automatically adversarial.
