(Could be because of people like you, Mr. Nifong.)
I was raised in a family of military men and law enforcement officials. These men were law abiding, straight laced conservatives. So i am about 15. My brother and I get taken to the police station for having in our possesion a very,very small amount of a naturally growing weed. No pun attended. Our dad shows up with an attorney. He believed in system-the whole system-which included the rights of the accused.

He grounded us for 30 days and we got to redo the landscape for our whole extended family. He reminded us, on numerous occasions, that constitutional protections ended when he sent that mortage check in to pay for our house. LOL
