Don't get mad.
And I certainly never called you a liar, so I don't understand why you said I did. Read it again. As I recall, I believe I qualified all that by stating it was my opinion. Relate some particulars about all the traffic stops, and I'll change my opinion. Might even consider biting you, as a token of my humiliation. 8-) I'm not worried about that, because I think it's really bizarre behaviour for an mature adult (you have a son who is a cop) to even think about locking his doors during the circumstances you described.
It's simple, really. You hate cops. So be it. It is, however, a minority position.
If I missed on the Canadian part, I apologize. It's just a personal thing with me about Canadians who criticize the US in areas where they have no standing.
Even out of context, my quote in your post still makes sense to me. The inference needs no explanation, and it was directed primarily at those who profess opposition to the ruling for specific reasons that have nothing to do with 4th Amendment issues.
You're arguing legal philosophy, and I'm not. We'll never agree with anything coming from those divergent directions. Not a new thing, is it?
I posted that very same pic two days ago in another thread about Kerry. It was a progression of funny pics, and that one fit right into the progression. Didn't take. I'm still learning.
To close out, if I assume, based on our correspondence, that you also are opposed to the Patriot Act (for civil rights infringement issues), I support it 110%, because of the results it has obtained which kept our country safe from terrorist attack. (It has, you know.)
If my assumption is correct, there couldn't be a better example to demonstrate our differences on these issues.
No hard feelings on my part. Hope the same is true for you.
No hard feelings, but your insistence that you opined "truth" doesn't wash... you are trying to split a hair, when the head is falling off...
There are parts of the "Patriot" Act with which I agree. However, I do not see reasons to suspend the BOR for any reason... It opens the door to further abuse!
But, the central issue is about this search. IMO, they are saying that anyone can be searched when a cop "feels" something... Bull Hockey! They are also stating there was no search. I don't understand their ruling... but then, I also don;t understand Roe!
As for giving you proof of stops, please excuse me if I tell you to shove it. Your "opinion" calls me a liar! I don't have anything to prove to you!
Yeah, I do think you are a cop, or maybe just a wannabe! I don't "hate" cops. I just despise the ones that fit my "profile" of JBT! Keep your "sixth sense".
I support my local Sheriff, politically, and financially... and he knows me a whole lot better than you! He also has a short leash on some guys he "inherited" from the previous SS type!
