So 100s of cops have done their jobs?
The police can only stop a driver if they believe they have committed a primary traffic offense.

No? Not even close. If the police "smell weed" they can stop you. If the police believe you have active warrants they can stop you. If the police believe you have committed a criminal act of any kind, they may stop you

More like 100s of cops have abused their authority to harass a middle aged artist. At even just 10 minutes a stop, that is over 30 hours of this poor man's life he has spent staring at the berries and cherries just because some entitled cop thought he deserved a photo op.
> harass a middle aged artist This man is driving a homemade banana car across the continent specifically because he wants the attention it garners. It's the whole point.

That's not true at all. The police can stop a vehicle for any suspicion of unlawful activity. For instance, to question a driver about the street-legal-ness of their homemade banana car. You can, however, refuse questioning and refuse any inspection of the interior of the vehicle and just ask them to cite you for what they pulled you over for.

I'm speaking about a traffic stop specifically, I am aware other crimes exist.

Yeah, the attention of armed people with the authority to order him around. See how ridiculous that sounds?

So many comments in the previous thread and no one mentions the banana car from Bloodhound Gang - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo video.
