That officer was WAY out of line. Officers are trained to remain professional and respectful in such situations, he failed.
LOL civilians....
MPs are trained to start out professionally, but if heads need to be cracked.....
You would NEVER see a soldier speaking like that to an MP.
Military vs civilian apples to oranges. I pay that hot head's salary, he works for me, he will conduct himself in a professional manner or be sent to the unemployment line.
We address only the initial stop of each motorist passing through a checkpoint and the associated preliminary questioning and observation by checkpoint officers. Detention of particular motorists for more extensive field sobriety testing may require satisfaction of an individualized suspicion standard.
Excerpts From Supreme Court s Decision Upholding Sobriety Checkpoints - New York Times
and from your case
It took the Court some time to settle on a test for when a "seizure" has occurred, and the Court has recently modified its approach. The issue is of some importance, since it is at this point that Fourth Amendment protections take hold. The Terry Court recognized in dictum that "not all personal intercourse between policemen and citizens involves 'seizures' of persons," and suggested that "[o]nly when the officer, by means of physical force or show of authority, has in some way restrained the liberty of a citizen may we conclude that a 'seizure' has occurred."198 Years later Justice Stewart proposed a similar standard, that a person has been seized "only if, in view of all of the circumstances surrounding the incident, a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave."199
This asshole was seized, but he was not detained. Two different legal concepts.
Now, was the cop a dick for not explaining the difference? Yep, but frankly he isn't required to do so and the driver was being a dick to, so fuck him.
Your amateur " I know everything" is a fail Quantam Windbag.
You simply don't know everything.
No, he was detained, but not seized, because no force was used.
I never claim to know everything. I do, however, know more than you, which means my knowledge could fill a 3 page notebook.

It's ridiculous to compare civilians with soldiers on any level. Especially levels that require any measure of self-discipline and/or self-control.

Agreed. Bear with me, I"m adjusting to sloppy , stupid, lazy, arrogant, moronic, childish, and otherwise unpleasant civilians.
That would require going to the URL, which I haven't since that fateful day in college where I was "corrected" for using such a sewer of a site.Ah yes Wikipedia, the bastion of accuracy and unimpeachable information.
Want to point out what the article got wrong?

Rebellion is meaningless without a clear purpose. The jackass in the OP was just being a jackass.
Had the cop actually been engaged in unethical behavior, I'd have been in the front row of the cheering section. But being a dickhead for the sake of being a dickhead and then self-promoting such dickheadedness is idiotic, just like the suckers that buy into the garbage.
Meaningless? It's got everyone here talking about Constitutional rights. I don't call that 'meaningless'.
People don't need to act like a dickhead to start a conversation... especially on a political messageboard. So yeah I call that pretty damned meaningless.
They don't "need" to, but it's always an option.And the more government encroaches on our rights, the more we should avail ourselves of the "dickhead" tact.
yeah man I'm with you, because that poor asshole cop who's working the 2 am sobriety check point is the one who made the laws..............
Nice try, but as a Typical American you don't know the Law and you NEVER read the link provided.
Sure I did, and I figured you'd cherry-pick something irrelevant out of it. It doesn't change the fact that it mentions the supreme court ruling such stops as constitutional. Period.
The cop showed more restraint than I would have, I'd have taken Citizen Dumbass' attitude as probable cause to impound his car for a thorough search at HQ.
Dickheads deserve to be treated like dickheads.
Just STFU.
You admitted your ignorance of the topic at hand, so don't bother posting about it, because it just makes you look as stupid as the people who think DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional.
Like it or not, a cop can come up with probable cause to impound your car with a minimum of effort if they really want to.
What? Do you have kids?
If you tell them they can't go out and play then later you say "okay you can go out and play" were you right both times, wrong both times, or right one time and wrong the other?
Like it or not, the COTUS is the Supreme Court's "child" they are empowered to raise it how they would like.
Aren't you a goofy one, thinking that Obama made up the roadside checkpoints.
Agreed. Bear with me, I"m adjusting to sloppy , stupid, lazy, arrogant, moronic, childish, and otherwise unpleasant civilians.
I don't smart off to start with. I am mature enough to know that the cop does not want to be standing out in the rain to look at everyone's drivers license. He is doing the job that the people of that state pay him to do. I was a cop so I know what is in his mind. This guy was lucky that the cop was not allowed to do what really needed to be done to the wise guy.What would YOU have done if a Big Armed Cop jerked YOUR car door open?I think this guy pissed in his pants. You would think a wise guy with cameras an all would have displayed a little more courage.
That's another reason to keep yer doors locked at all times.
Just STFU.

As we become ever more of a police state, cops get the idea that they are a class above the peasants, natural rulers to be obeyed without question.
You already advocated car jacking a peasant for daring to assert civil rights. I assume you would assault them and kidnap them in the process.
The only thing that dickhead asserted was his foot into his mouth.
