Once I got stopped by the police to do a random alcohol check. I could have told him to get lost - politely!-, it was my right, but the consequences were not worth it, especially as I hadn't had a sip of alcohol for the previous few months (I don't drink)!

Oh and last time I flew to France, the security beeped when I went under it so got search. I could have said I was refusing to be touched, but I would have missed my flight explaining myself and well, once again, I had nothing to hide, so I gave the woman a big smile, opened my arms, and 2 minutes later it was all forgotten!!!

I really don't understand this concept of people screaming their rights when they have nothing to hide!

If you're a black man getting stopped & searched you might think differently abiout your rights.

You're just blase & take your rights for granted.

The fact that you did not have a problem in your examples shows they are not really suitable serious examples.

I am a foreigner with an accent, and a woman, but now I don't think it is because of this reason that I was stopped. If the policeman were to start shouting racist insults, that might have been different.

A bit easy to say that my examples are not serious... or maybe it is because I have nothing to hide at all and therefore don't get defensive the moment I am being asked to show or do something.

You can keep prattling & rambling on this way & that.

So where we are ?

We have established from your example was discovered by ACCIDENT which is nothing to do with this thread, which is about LA occasionally checking with landlord, which is unlikely to be thing that caught your family out.

My "prattling" says they can make checks on tenancy agreements, your ranting says they can't.
What makes you even more frustrating, is you even saying "they sometimes make checks".

If you can't be rational, then your point of view, ceases to be of any interest.

Extraordinary FBaby!
I would never have guessed. :T

I've never understood why checks on English born whites are just that, and checks on coloured people are racist.
Isn't it the PURPOSE of the check that decides that, not the actual check itself?
Doesn't that apply to the relationship between Landlords and Tenants too? It's the purpose of the check?
