Hmmmm..what is the purpose of this submission...to show us that some police officers are not perfect...something we already know.

I was more interested in what the criminal they caight was doing and of course it fails to point out why the officer pulled him over.

But the article did point out the following

***Farsi himself is no stranger to police. Court records show he has been arrested eight times since 2006, largely on minor drug charges. He was once sentenced to a year's probation. This time, Lupo said, he found $1,233 in cash in Farsi's left pocket.***

One of the innocent non violent drug pushers and drug consumers

Does not bother me in the least the officer did not follow strict protocol and I would surmize it does not bother most other people that the police did not counduct their police search 100 % correctly and to the letter of the law.

I like the fact they pulled over a criminal who is "no stanger to the police" and they pulled him over again and sure enough he was doing what most criminals do all the time...committing crimes!
