Roger,
Are you saying that you honestly believe that for the past 16 1/2 months any discipline or carnation of law enforcement is actually allowing the constitution to get in the way of doing what they damn well please?
Give me a break! The Bill of Rights is being dragged through the mud while the Chicken Littles are doing everything in the name of homeland security which is the biggest bunch of BS on earth. But they know they can do it because of the ignorance of the general population.
You know who they are. They're the ones who where protesting, blowing up buildings and killing innocent people in the '60s in the name of preventing Big Brother from taking over our lives. These same people have been screaming for the past 20 years that it is the government's responsibility to take care of THEIR children. The same sheeple that are not intelligent enough to understand terrorism and the fact that no government can prevent it. However, that is not going to stop them from constently blaming someone else for their shortcomings and if there is no one around, it must be the governments fault.
At the same time, these same idiots are willing to sacrifice their rights in the name of comfort.
Well, I spent four years of my life in the Navy fighting for the right to keep my rights and I know very few Vietnam-era veterans who support the Big Brother theory of running this country. I would guesstimate that more than 60% of the rules set in place since 9/11/01 have little to no effect on the prevention of terrorism. And yes, I have had problems at airports which included the need to drop my pants for some idiot who was so intelligent, he asked that I read my ticket for him because he couldn't understand it.
Of course, these are the same folks who believed the RICO laws were a good thing and police would never take advantage of it's benefits to law enforcement. Yep, right up until the time the government started confiscating cars, computers and other personal property which they could connect to the drugs for which their kids were busted.
If people were to actually read some of the laws on the books, many would be astounded at some of the powers police and prosecuting agencies have at their disposal. My point here being that many laws and regulations are steeped deep in legalese and some are so vague, how broad an interpretation allowed may depend on the judge to which it is presented.
JMHO, Rant off.
Mike
