although i agree with you 100%, you can drink on base if you are 18.
but anyways i would much rather smash my phone than have some cop go through it if there was any evidence i did something wrong on it. but they need a warrant so i'd let them go through it when i told them they can't and let them read it all and watch it get tossed out in court.
i've had a few run ins with some dick head cops, the worst was with speeding. getting fucking screamed at like i had just committed murder or something. wrote the tickets up so i'd get fucked for sure like loose debris on road, cold temps possible ice and stuff. but my dad knew the judge and instead of 14 points i got 4 and walked outta there with a smile on my face and the cop was beyond pissed. but that was lucky shit.
or when i yelled out the window fuck you to some guy who called the cops on us earlier for trespassing (driving on a road by his house). cops came and tried telling us we would get charged with slander, trespassing and a bunch of other bullshit if we didn't confess to all of it. i simply said, actually sir he yelled fuck you to me...and i have 3 witnesses that were in the vehicle that heard it. so who are you going to believe? and he just straight left and told us we were lucky and next time he'll get us.
then i've met some cool cops, although i haven't had any run ins with them i know that they are pretty sweet and my friends have gotten off the hook thanks to them.
all in all i still live by saying fuck the police...it might not be all of them but most.
