I was in a state LE agency for 31 years. There’s a number of us that spoke up against the ever growing militarizing of civilian law enforcement agencies, unconstitutional but no one was listening, nor did they care and still don’t, it was the expanded power they craved—and got.
Then someone made the decision that our officers (I’m retired, out of the loop) would hold BOTH a Federal commission and a state commission. I posed the question that at first blush, that was illegal, if not on the state level then certainly on the Federal level.
Do you see the danger here? I do. Those commissions are still in power as far as I know. Too late. Cannot be undone easily, once powers and authority is granted, reducing same is almost impossible. The USA is a “benign” and not so benign police state. Anyone been stopped lately?
One of the questions that was probably asked of you was, “Do you have any weapons or other things THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?”. Where did that come from? If you have a “weapon” you’ll probably be arrested (er, excuse me, detained for officer “safety” or other reasons) for prohibited weapon ESPECIALLY if it’s a handgun. Good luck.
I “enjoy” reading about all the recent arrests of citizens who have gun ARSENALS and CACHES too. Too many guns for you Mr. Citizen.
We’ll be reading about these “terrorists” more everyday.
