Don't you get that what you'll tolerate from the government when they do it to others, they will eventually do to you? You cackle with glee that these women got body cavity searched, because you're convinced they're bad people, but once that precedent is set, it could be YOU who gets fingers in her vagina/his anus, all on suspicion of misbehavior. By then, the precedent will be accepted practice. Then you'll whine, but you'll inevitably forget that you supported the same heinous violations against other people.

We are a nation of principles and law. You throw those out in unsavory situations, and you'll find that they are not there in righteous situations, either.

Decent folks tend not to end up in those sorts of situations...side benefit of that whole decency thing and all, along with never having to face the shame of arrest or worry how to make bail or any of half a dozen other things.

That said, if I land myself in a situation I’ll take my licks with good graces, not whine, because no one I associate with would have a lick of sympathy. That’s what personal responsibility is...you accept that what happens to you is a direct result of what you do and don’t try to cry to others about the choices you made or what they bring to you.

Do you regularly associate with the sort of folks who have to worry about this? I’d be shunned instantly if I ever embarrassed my friends and family by bringing them into disrepute with an arrest, particularly if I decided to publicly whine about it.
