Darnell Dockett tweets encounter with police

Darnell Docket's Twitter timeline began Monday afternoon when the police pulled him over. He wrote this on his account, @ddockett:
"I don't know why the police always messing w/me I'm never gonna let them search my car with out a search warrant! No matter what!"
A few minutes later came this from the former Florida State player:
"Police sitting here waiting on back up cuz I told them YOU NOT SEARCHING MY CAR! PERIOD! & now I'm sitting here! Owell I aint got s---2 do!"
Then this:
"There R 3police cars and they are talking! I don't see A search warrant they won't see inside this escalade! I got all day hope they don't!"
This is one of the interesting uses of Twitter, a real-life play-by-play. The police don't give their side, of course. But it provides public figures the ability to give their perspective instead of just becoming a headline. Some of his tweets in the succeeding minutes:
"This cop just ask me how tall R u & where R U from! I'm bout to ask him can I go across the street to POPEYS while we sitting here waiting!"
"I been sitting here for a HOUR 1cop by the driver window, 2talking at the car! And the 1by the window being friendly! Like wtf?"
"I asked the cop why he pulled me over he said I was speeding I said B-------! But give me the ticket that's when he asked to search my car!"
"So you gonna lie and say I'm speeding then you wanna search my car! Get the F*ck ouutta here! Better go get a warrant *turns up radio"
Finally came this:
"No ticket and I didn't get punk by PO-PO today now I'm off to my 2nd work out! Police aint searchig my sh*t with no warrant "holla at me"!"
Now word on if he got Popeye's, though.
