Celebrities and athletes love Twitter, but very few of them use it correctly. Kim Kardashain tweets about how difficult the questions are on "Cash Cab". Jose Canseco posts pictures of himself in drag so Lady Gaga will be his girlfriend. Or something. Not sure how that one works.
Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett is not one of those people. He's using the Internet and social media correctly. And I mean come on, how could a guy with a Twitter bio like this go wrong?
That's not a real website, by the way. Shut up.
Anyway, no, Dockett used his Twitter account to live blog an encounter with police who pulled him over for speeding, tried to search his car without a warrant, and did all of that dumb, manipulative team Cop Work cops do when they feel threatened. If you missed it, sit back, relax, grab a beverage and enjoy With Leather's first edition of @Storytime. "99 Problems" comparisons optional.

He's right, you know. And just when you thought it was over...
To be continued.

Nope, that’s the best thing I’ll see all day.
I use UberSocial, too, and now I feel so validated. Hey, hi, how u durrin, Darnell?!
I heard the cop asked him “Son, do you know why I’m stoppin’ you for?”
And Darnell was all, “Cause I’m young and I’m black and my hat’s real low? Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don’t know.”
True story.
Police don’t need a warrant to search a car during a traffic stop.
*grinds teeth whenever 99 problems is heard.*
I’m not even a Gator fan & I still hate this dickbag.
He is a great man.
Technically they don’t need a search warrant, but they do need probable cause to search someone’s car without their consent, which Dockett wisely chose not to give them.
And so ends today’s legal lesson. You’re welcome everyone.
