It had nothing to do with disrespecting the cops, we were all being very respectful. as far as asking for the cops opinion, im not some asshole teenager being a dick to the cops. all of us were incredibly cool. we were drinking before a show because the booze they sell in there is 7 dollars a cup, and i personally, as well as my friends have issues with high priced beer.
anyway, that is a pretty bull**** argument, first off, they chose their profession, they are to uphold the law, to say that they face death every time they get out of their car is a bit excessive, especially for colorado. regardless, they chose the job, they should do it professionally. I was simply asking the legality, not your opinion. but since you decide to give away your rights, i will choose to excersize mine to the fullest. the cop was a dick. most of them were cool, but he was simply being a bully, because he knew he could. he faced no danger in that situation what so ever. if your not going to defend the liberties our founding fathers were so adament about protecting, then i will step up and do it (when my friends wont be the ones paying the price.)
to say i was being 'interrogated' would be a bit of a stretch. as i clearly pointed out had you chose to pay attention to the entire post, i was standing there bored. waiting for my ID back. I wasn't even one of the people that was ticketed. As far as they knew i wasnt drinking. I was honest and told them i had, and gladly handed over my ID and let them pat me down. I even asked one of the cops later if i could get his picture, to which he declined, and i said 'its cool'.
Not to mention, to bring up the quality of the pictures, i find that to be irrelevant. to me they were cool, and thats all that mattered. they wouldve gone nice with the rest of the road trip pictures.
Had i been the only one that couldve been in trouble, the pictures would still exist.
