My lawyer was there for a business transaction during our time upstate. I made sure to introduce him at my lawyer so that the TSO wouldn't stray further from the true regulations/exceptions. I've been pulled over by a Cop with my attorney in the car and made sure to advise the cop that my passenger was my attorney. After running my license to makes sure there wasn't any warrants or anything he let me go. If my attorney hadn't been there, in both cases, it's possible he wouldn't have been so cooperative.

While it is true it wasn't any of my direct business educating and standing up for a fellow citizen against a tyrannical government( or the agent of) is not only my right it is my responsibility.
