    Last thursday night on East Tremont in the Bronx they were out doing ID checks and green card checks and I'm willing to bet stop and frisk is coming back too

    Got hit with a level 2 in Kansas last week; first inspection in 13 years.

    Trooper comes up, raises his hands and says, "You haven't done anything wrong, this is just a random inspection". He gave my rig the once-over, we BS'd for a bit and were soon both on our separate ways.

    Judging by his professionalism and demeanor, I'd be willing to wager that I'd have had more to worry about than a level 2 if I had decided to be an ######.

    I'd wager a guess that this was an older trooper too, right?

    No, I figure he was maybe mid-thirties, likely former military.
