I hope a few of you readers notice how the focus has shifted away from "peace officer" to driver/driving.
First things first!!! Who is the one claiming authority? Where did that authority come from? Do I accept his/her authority? Was the authority granted properly. Is the authority being used properly? Has the authority been lost? Am I under the purported authority? When does the authority apply? Is the current situation applicable to the authority being claimed?
You see how many questions we can come up with, and need to ask ourselves, and the claimant of authority over us, before we can start making assumptions as to whether or not the "stop" was predicated on some infraction?
