Hell im sure all of them are educated on the constitution as well as the states constitutions. The problem is, I have actually seen some cops that couldnt care less about it. The first time this became apparent to me was about 10 years ago. A DPS officer pulled me over, for what I cant remember, and asked if I had any gun in my truck. I said " what difference does it make". He said it doesnt to him because he swore to uphold the Constitution of the United State and the Constitution of the State of Texas. He then asked me a couple more questions that were pretty much yes or no and ended up with a final question of have you committed any crimes.
Back then I had no clue what his responces meant but know I do. By upholding the United States Constitution he felt like guns in my truck were none of anyones business, and to uphold the " With a view to prevent crime part" of the Texas State Constitution he asked if I had committed any crimes.
Kinda all makes sence to me know days. I actually see that it would be a tough job in Texas to uphold the Constitution's when the states constitution has crap in it that clearly infringes on the U.S. Constitution.
I have had " newbie" local city cops act in a manner that clearly shows they could give a shit less about someones rights and that the worst part because they recently took the oath to protect those constitutions.
It doesnt matter if your a Cop or someone working at Acadamy, anywhere you go you'll find people that have no respect for individual rights.
If anyone wants to put some detailed thought to this issue, you will find it all starts with State Legislature. Sure cops enforce BS that pisses us all off. They even get trashed when people encounter them. The real fact is it all starts with Legislature! Legislature is where people need to focus all of their attention to.
When state law makers cant respect peoples right, then how in the hell can anyone expect all the cops to?
