Please, drop the pathetic backtracking spin.
This whole discussion has been focused on the court's interpretation of what cops are claiming so that they can search people.
I would doubt even Tu thinks you shouldn't be 'concerned' or act cautiously in those situations. When you start embellishing, I think it definitely comes off as paranoid.
As for the danger you claim,
Let's see, 50 officers died in 2012 due to traffic fatalities, and I don't know if that's incidental to criminal activities...or some may be traffic accident related. Let's assume all 127 cops who died in 2012 was due to traffic stops. I'm using NLEO figures.
Out of how many millions of traffic stops each year?
So the probability of you getting hurt is .0000000 something?
Obviously it's dangerous (127 officers), but that doesn't change the fact that your words and your claims are not beyond reproach.
Just got this email this morning...
