First, if the search is unconstitutional then you fight that in court. Don't blame the officer for finding your illegal drugs. Blame yourself for your own bad decisions. If he somehow found them under violation of the 4th amendment, your attorney should win. Secondly, they do go easier on them in court. I've seen cops testify on behalf of the suspect in terms of being cooperative and a lot of the time the judge/magistrate will give out reduced penalties. Third, I've known many people who were pulled over and only given a warning. If it was entirely about revenue, warnings wouldn't exist. The reality is we are a safer society because of the work police officers do. Just like the motorcycle stereotypes that we fight everyday isn't okay because you are basing the entire community of police based on a few bad apples. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
