Authority:

Why do we fear authority figures? If these are the individuals that we, as a nation, have given the power to protect us and our system of laws and standards, then why are we afraid to question their power over us? When was the last time you said, "As a matter of fact, officer, I Do mind if you search my car". And what do you suppose would happen if you did say that? You would probably be in a lot of trouble! So where did our authority get away from us? Well, as far as the incident I just described, it's called reasonable doubt. If an officer suspects you of foul play, he has the right to question you. And who gave him this right? We did. We did because there are people out there who have actually committed a crime and are trying to hide it. But what about Mr. Average Joe who's just trying to get home, late at night? He's caught in the cross fire of this war we have on crime.
