Stevenson wished he had been more assertive with the police while they were illegally searching his car. Do you think that would have been effective? How would you recommend someone respond in a similar situation?

I think this would not have been effective. I would recommend someone to ask the officers for a warrant and list their constitutional right to have the right to privacy.

Explanation:

This question seems a bit variable depending on who you ask, so this is my opinion. When I read the word "assertive", it sounded like instructing the police in a more dominant manner. In general, it seems like the police will get more frustrated if you do this. Instead, I would bring up the fact that they need to have a warrant before they check my car because it's my constitutional right. Also, this is big, please video! There is no harm in taking videos of police doing work, so this will provide perfect evidence in the future that the police were illegally searching.

Again, this is my opinion, and other opinions are very valid. Hope this helped.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
