They didn't have the rights to do half the shit they can now. For instance they couldn't search you or your car. And they definitely couldn't arrest you for not "obeying".

I cursed out many a cop in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami when they got smart with me when I lived there during the 1980's. Got pulled over for speeding a few times right on the strip there...and usually had an eight ball in my pocket. But guess what? They couldn't search my car.

That's all bullshit that the Supreme Court started up a little later and ruled that they could do all these searches and seizures (it was unconstitutional before that)

So dude...don't presume to know shit about me. I've done and seen more in my life than most from all my travels in my bands since 1978.
