Here it comes
Sheriff, Don Hartman Sr.
http://www.mikechurch.com/Today-s-Lead-Story/in-sheriff-if-we-need-to-conduct-random-house-to-house-searches-we-will.html
You hope the SCOTUS will say fruit of the poisionous tree but hope is not a strategy that you can count on.
If your on the thorn when the cops come a knocking, don’t flush, don’t rustle the newspaper...that’s enough to knock your door down with:
“I thunk I smelt pot...your Honor”
Here's a good test of this decree: what do you think Geo. Washingtion or Thom. Jefferson would say about it? Do you believe in "living document" theory? That's fine if you don't have any regard for your own Natural Rights, but don't think it's OK to trample the rest of ours just because you willingly cede yours.
This Sheriff should be immediately removed from office.
Mr Charlton Heston:
“Every time our country stands in the path of danger, an instinct seems to summon her finest first — those who truly understand her.
“When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it’s always the patriots who first hear the call.
“When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now, the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedom’s vanguard. The smoke in the air of our Concord bridges and Pearl Harbors is always smelled first by the farmers, who come from their simple homes to find the fire, and fight, because they know that sacred stuff resides in that wooden stock and blued steel — something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms.”

WE STILL HAVE A CONSTITUTION?
PRAISE GOD!
Is it as a decoration or what?
The Supreme court can rule the new law Unconstitutional, and continue on as before. The legislature will give them cover, as will the media...they always do.
Well...some of are.
Reading a good book right now...The Vampire Economy. Check it.
I for one Salute the Sherif for highlighting the loon-icy of the Court ruling.
When making new Law from the bench Judges, particularly liberal judges, frequently don’t consister all the implication. It is therefore important to highlight the mess they create when they go outside their bounds, not only to them the dictator judges, but to the people who supported them,
To that end what this sheriff has said and threaten to do is very helpful. Liberals usually rely upon goverment officials being “benign” and the people electing only officials that will respect their rights.
When infact the whole point of the Constitution is that the people don’t always elect people who are inclined to respect our rights. It is therefore critical when they start destroying the foundation of our republic(its constitution) that we as quickly and realistically as possible highlight the failure.
Simply failing to open the door they created for a generation only allows for dangerous complacency and precedence.
That sure didn’t take long.
I don’t understand.
How can a public official, who theoretically swore an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, how can he get away with saying something like this and ever draw one single dime more of a public paycheck?
When the damn sheriff of the county says he can break down your door at any time with or without cause, then buddy, you got a problem!!
Same kind of problem they had in Germany with the SS!
Same kind of problem they had under Stalin!
Dame kind of problem that happened in Cambodia!!
Let`s see how well this sh*t plays in the `hoods up in Gary.
When they`re talking about “random searches,” do they mean in connection with an ongoing investigation, or just rifling through people`s homes looking for anything and anyone of interest?
Aren`t Hoosiers raising hell about this, or are they just passively bending over and grabbing their ankles?
‘______the 22nd [gulp!] season of Survivor was good.’
I thought so. Happens it was the only episode I watched.
There’s a county sheriff I know, and I’ll take up the Indiana situation with him next time I see him.
No, he doesn’t live in Indiana.
Yet, the Left goes apesh*t over AZ`s SB1070.
Oh,wait... Latinos and other minorities will be excused from random raids after the first squawks of racism.
It was my understanding that the SCOTUS review was about a case where a police department entered a home without a warrant using fuzzy logic. I believe the issue was whether the home-owners could justifiably object with use of force. The SCOTUS said no.
If I’m misrepresenting the case, someone please correct me.
It’s my take that the SCOTUS DID NOT okay blanked raids on homes at random. It merely said that if a department enters a home without due cause, the owner shouldn’t be allowed to open fire on them.
Granted, some departments will now flaunt the laws, claiming oops, but I don’t believe the SCOTUS intended to give police the right to completely ignore the forth amendment.
What’s other people’s take on this?
About all this is going to wind up doing is costing police officers and citizen their lives. Some officers are going to push their luck, and some citizens are going to exact a terrible price for it. It’s a huge can of worms.
Nice going SCOTUS. Just goes to show a long black robe is no protection for getting your head stuck in a dark stinky place.
It's just some anonymous claims. Feel free to make up whatever story you want.
Very funny! It took me a while, but eventually I got it!
