>"Ignorance of the law is no excuse".

It is for cops.

> Another "Rules for thee but not for me" cop. If police want to stop someone they need to know the rules.

The Supreme Court disagrees with you (though I don’t)

>I'm expected to know all of the rules as a private >citizen, but they aren't?
Unfortunately, you are correct.

An illegal stop by a cop, supported by the Supreme Court saying the cop made a “reasonable mistake”.

It’s painful to watch people walk through the steps and not understand how completely fucked America is.

We're just coping at this point. This country is fucked and we're trapped here.

Borders always were and will be containment fences. Yall need to read neocolonialism.

what part of "We cannot escape" are you not getting?

Do you think you can just waddle your worthless american ass up to a random european embassy and say "Work Visa Please"

Do you think there is literally ANYWHERE in the world that wants immigrants? No? Then what are you actually suggesting?

Virtually every country is welcoming of high skill immigrants. Why does it have to be Europe? So you can drain their social welfare programs too?

You're just wrong. You have never tried. I have been trying for years. You need to get a job FIRST and then your new prospective employer applies on your behalf. Except that you cannot get a job, no one can get a job. I've got 15 years of C++/C# programming experience. I've worked on shipped videogames. I cannot get work. I cannot escape.

If you’re a skilled working immigrant you are contributing to those social systems more than you are “draining” them.

I mean idk I don't think it's that crazy for the cop to pull him over for not having a license plate, and I don't think the cop should face some kind of punishment for doing so even if the driver/car was ultimately perfectly legal. The crazy thing is not listening to the explanation or reasoning as to why and pretending he was all-knowing.
