    "if your not doing anything wrong, why worry?"
    Can we get a camera over your toilet, shower, and bed? If you're not doing anything wrong in there, you should mind our watching.

    "as you say, you're not doing anything wrong, they will leave you alone"
    If this statement were true and some humans were paragons of virtue, we could give them unlimited powers to investigate and punish crimes. Unfortunately, humans are flawed. We create institutions with checks and balances that try to overcome those flaws.

    How could anyone image having a gadget like that. That's like blasphemy.

    If that doesn't mean anything to you, then you're not my old classmate.

    btw - woops would be West Point. Also called woo-poo-u, or woops to us grads.

    Very much so, know some very good LEO's from a Jurisdiction that requires pain in the ass policies, They hate it but do it to stay employed. They'd much rather be doing real police work. Town I live in generally requires a distinct resemblance to the fourth point of contact before they'll blow up their squad car and stop you.

    Never mentioned any approval of judges who legislate from the bench, John Marshall warned of that, essentially inviting congress to amend Art. 3 to add a removal process, and as usual, they dropped the ball.

    Sorry you feel that way Z, for in every bushel there is some chaff and some faulted seed.
    I knew an atheist during Op. Iraqi Freedom, and one during particularly fun ride near Najaif, he asked my gunner, who wore a cross openly, to help him pray.
    Yea, religion may be "the opiate of the masses," but damned if it ain't a good drug.

    Government has no business being involved in mortgage lending nor in banking. Those are free market businesses,

    And how's that faith worked for us so far? Aren't our fellow men the ones that spend so much effort trying to enslave us and murdered some 200 million during the lat century.

    Faith-bah. Just like superstition.

    Remember the couple pulled over in some east coast state merely because the husband had a concealed carry permit. The cops ran the plates and saw that and pulled them over. Even though he had left his weapons at home, they rattled his wife into saying she didn't know where the weapons were, and since he said there were no weapons in the car and the wife said she didn't know where the weapons were, they arrested them and hauled them to jail. No probable cause, no reason to suspect them of any crime, merely police out of control.

    Not at all. Find my post about the restaurant owner who had $30k confiscated merely because she ran a cash only business and made her deposits to the bank in cash.

    There's no advocacy of anarchy. Rather proper constraint of law enforcement. Yes, the constitution and its amendments apply to the federal government. But the courts have increasingly forced all laws to be uniform across all states, thus the expectation that these be uniform as well.

    I use the Cobra radar app. Gives you the ability to identify real time police presence. Very helpful.

    That is dissappointing to hear. I would have bought one if it worked. I live in South Jersey (Pennsville) and when I was driving to Graduate School in Philadelphia from 2010 to 2013 at night, I used route 295 often and relied on my old Radar Detector to avoid the Speed Traps...

    KH maybe correct in his state, but he's not in mine. Our state constitution authorizes counties and municipalities to form their own police forces, as I said, NOT the US Constitution, but the State Constitution. All you people need to learn the difference before they come for you, because they will pry the fire arm out of your cold dead hand. Me, well, they'll never find me, we ran all the way from Phu Lonugn to Pleiku after Rivers shot the #3 Guy in the NVA, and yes, the crats sanctioned it!
    The US Constitution does not directly authorize any federal police force. Grant and Roosevelt did that themselves, illegally, and unconstitutionally, daring the congress to defund them, the US Secret Service and the FBI respectively, were illegal long before patriot act made them criminals.
