I was on my may to pick up my daughter, and I was gestured over to the side by a police officer. They told me they were doing a random smog check. I
asked if I had the choice to partake in this event and the gentleman said no. I just had my car smogged for registration so it only took a few minutes
to go through the process, but my question is if I had to legally go through it at all. Isn't that stopping free traffic or something like that. I
was under the impression that this sort of thing was not legal. Am I misinformed or were my rights infringed upon? Now, the cop still had a gun, so I
did it what force dictated, but would peaceful protest of such events be legal, or even effective?
Thanks in advance if I don't reply to you personally.
Also if you have been through the same thing, and just want to vent, post your story. Legal or not, sometimes it feels good to get it off your chest.
Confession sooths the soul. So tell it.
Any legal advice would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I'm in Fresno Ca, U.S.A. if it matters to anyone but the feds.
