    The officer didn’t plant it. The alcohol bottle was already in the suspect’s vehicle. No one has proven it was sealed. If it is revealed to have been opened, then this man is guilty of having an opened container in his vehicle, as well as driving with a suspended license.

    You don’t need to attack me personally. Save your personal attacks for your therapist.

      you mean the shapiro thing? I actually thought you intentionally used a shapiro-style argument. I didn’t think you’d take it as an insult.

      No one has proven it was sealed. If it is revealed to have been opened, then this man is guilty of having an opened container in his vehicle, as well as driving with a suspended license.

      Now this is a much more interesting line of thought. It doesn’t rely on reframing and red herrings. Instead this arguments directly attacks the central point. This is much better.

          The trick is not to follow their tangents. They hate it when you point out their fallacies and rhethoric trickery.
