Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

My point was not that it never happens at all. It was simply that it is rare. Rare enough, in fact, that it made for an extremely poor analogy.My point was that it's rare in the jurisdictions that you frequent, but that doesn't mean that it is rare in all jurisdictions, which is what you've implied.
I happen to live near a jurisdiction notorious for pulling people over for going <5mph over the limit or not stopping at a stop sign for the full 3 seconds, as well as looking for any cause at all to justify a vehicle search. Suffice to say, it is a jurisdiction where what you claim is rare is in fact frequent. (And I'll note that I don't think that this means it is frequent in all or even most places.)
So please, cough up something other than anecdotal evidence if you're trying to assert that an observed trend is universal.
