    Was only jesting, pal. At least Sunny saw the Funny side of my post and took it in good humour. I can commisserate with him as I also own a Jag.

    You're damn right I see the funny in the responses!

    Things are finally working in my favor with this bumper thing..

    I came to a stop from 30mph to zero briskly on the 118 East today. The car behind me did the same thing. The car behind them didn't.

    I had my windows all down, sunroof open, tunes playing and as I made sure the people behind me stopped, I look forward and hear screaching tires. I look to the left thinking the mini-van made the sound and then BONK! The car behind me got rear ended. Sigh.

    Pull over, since the bumper cover is missing, zero damage, zero damage to their front end, but the other car had some minor bumper damage as did the car that bonked into me.

    The car driven behind me was driven by a hot latina no more than 21 years old with stretch everything, hugging her frame accentuating every curve. The other car was driven by a pudgy 40-something which I discovered after talking with the chick for a minute.

    After writing down my information, I make sure she's alright and give her my information. I also made sure her boyfriend was ok too while the other guy was busy writing down his info. I waved at him, told the other two peeps to call me if they need me as a witness, and went on my way.

    Anyone have any accident repellant handy? *grumble*

    If this happened exactly as Sunny said, there would be a record of the stop. Either some report, or a CAD enrty. Especially if they were stopped for "suspcious activity", or matching the description of a fleeing vehicle from some crime, etc. And just driving around late at night can be grounds for a stop/detention/frisk if the facts and circumstances support it. If a store gets robbed at 2am, and the robber left in a dark coupe with two male occupants, chances are every dark coupe with two male occupants will be stopped and investigated.

    The fact that Sunny did nothing wrong here does not make the stop/frisk illegal in itself, as Art says. However, if there was a reason for stop, i.e., someone called police about a vehicle casing the area, the police should have told him this. Whatever the reason was, he should have been told, and this would have been prevented. Additionally, if they were worried about weapons, police can check the occupants span of control inside the vehicle. This has been upheld by law. Again, this is all assuming the police had probable cause for the stop.

    But to go off calling this a police state of pigs is absurd. Imagine what China is like!! Or go to Iraq or Somolia if you don't want police. And don't call the police when your car gets stolen from WAWA because you left it running in the parking lot..
