Because it's so freakin' ridiculous.

Truck drivers and lawyers won't stop and detain you in an effort to find something to arrest you for. Truck drivers and lawyers won't intimidate and lie to you in a effort to search your person, your car or your home without any probable cause. Truck drivers and lawyers won't attack you for no reason and then charge you with assaulting them.

Truck drivers and lawyers are not cops.

You do understand that the two are different, right?
