Farmington, UT — In the land of the free, police will use any excuse, often ridiculous and foolish ones, to pull over citizens to conduct fishing expeditions for contraband or to extort them outright. We’ve seen countless people pulled over for air fresheners, window tint, license plate lights, and even for driving under the speed limit because safety was suspicious. Unfortunately, many unsuspecting folks are often beaten or killed during these stops — over “crimes” with no victim.
