Your wife would Bobbit ya, guaranteed.
I always thought Michael Bloomberg would make a good candidate. He started a successful business and grew it to be huge. He was mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world. He seems bright and Presidential.
I have some other experiences with the authority. This was like 6 years ago, but one of our cars didn't have a speedometer (we don't have it anymore). I was in the car with my dad and a police car pulled us over. The officer said we were going 78 in a 65 and my dad said there is no way were, I wan't to see the radar gun. The officer proceeds to go back to his car and comes back and says well I must have registered it while you were slowing down because my gun says 73. Lol my dad was pissed.
Still 73 in a 65 is worthy of getting pulled over, but I wonder how many people they get by telling them they were going faster than they were.
Why did you allow them to go through your personal property? Seriously.
Never consent to a search. Never. If they have reasonable suspicion they can get a warrant or they can search without consent. There is no reason to EVER consent to a search.
I'm not Mormon yet mourn the loss of not getting Romney.

I whipped by a cop the other day, going about 210 in a 130 zone. He didn't even budge. I have been told they pull people over for speed here, but my experience has been they mostly pull people over for disrupting the flow of traffic.
Oh, the joys of driving in Germany! Don't want to diss Utah too much... but my biggest complaint whenever I'm back in the Beehive state is driving on the 15... MOVE OVER!!!
I've been told that when accidents do happen on the autobahn, they involve like 15-20 cars and create traffic jams that take 4-6 hours to break up and last for 20 miles.

Agree 10000%. Utah drivers are among the very worst I have ever encountered.
bjwsan are you here with the military like Rev is?
Having driven in Bay Area and SoCal a bit, I thought Utah drivers were the worst... until I drove the 95 through the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. NO ONE uses the right lane, they're all afraid they'll get stuck behind a semi... so ALL the traffic is going snail's pace on the left. Utahan's are below average bad... but not the worst.
No, I'm here working for Pearson, a UK company... covering EMEA. Had the choice to live in UK or Germany... so very glad I chose Deutschland, and Bayern to boot! IMO, Bavarians are a little more closed minded than the average German (and THAT's saying something...) but love the countryside, the closeness to Austria and Italy... very happy to be here... except that I can't get to Jazz games!
Hate this^
Typical conversation with a Utah driver
driver: "The other day I was on the freeway in the fast lane and..."
me interrupting: "The what lane?"
driver: "The fast lane. You know the lane that you drive fast in."
me: "Do you mean the passing lane? The lane you should vacate unless you are passing someone."
After about 10 mins I tend to wear them down to the point that they adopt the term "passing lane".
The worst part is, legally, I'm fairly sure that they are right and I am wrong. I don't think there is a law on the books here mandating for drivers to move over to the right. Unless it is posted or there is an emergency vehicle you can drive your minivan in whatever lane you please.
There is a law in Utah that if someone is attempting to pass you you must move to the right. It even goes so far as to say that it does not matter what speed you are traveling at, if someone is attempting to pass you must move to the right.
In Germany this is enforced for real. The only time I have seen someone pulled over it was for camping in the middle lane when they should have moved over to let others pass. They are pretty good about moving over and keeping the far left lane clear.
Of course the fear of a 3000 pound Mercedes going 140 MPH roaring up behind you keeps you on your toes as well.
