Road Rights: The Right to Disobey Cops

The problem is, if everybody acquiesces to a violation of our rights, do we still have the right? I would argue that unless the right is exercised, it doesn't exist. Therefore, when a law enforcement officer is enforcing laws that don't exist, it is incumbent upon us to stand up for our rights.

Interesting story of a cyclist tazed for riding in the road in Ohio. <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s1-3-583-19000-1-P,00.html">http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s1-3-583-19000-1-P,00.html</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.

Always obey instructions from Law Enforcement Officers. If your rights are infringed, then the proper avenue for protest is the courts and the press. And this blog.
Yea while this deputy is a tool, he's also, unfortunately, a police officer. Just do what they tell you, let them have their little power trip, and they'll usually go away. If you don't you are breaking the law and this sort of thing can happen. Unless someone got the whole thing on video, you are usually screwed. This sucks but that's how it goes.
