Kudo’s to the Cardinal’s Darnell Dockett

From the Coyote Blog

You go Darnell. Everyone who stands up for his Constitutional rights makes it easier for the rest of us to do so.

That's fine for Darnell.  What if you a poor schmuck who can't afford to pay attorneys to help you out in case they decide to play rough?  They can put a lot of heat on you for not cooperating, you know.  If they decide to rip out all the upholstery of your car looking for drugs or something, and find nothing, do you think you'll get the damage fixed?

It isn't such a cut and dried thing to stand up for your rights.  If the government wants to harass people, they can do it.   Unless you want and are able to bear some pain, it wouldn't be advisable.  But I agree, Dockett did the right thing.  Only not everybody can.
