The 4th Amendment:
Keep in mind - in Free Republic, the opinions of LEO are very polarized. It’s a complex issue. Comments like yours (Or the comment from the other thread TOWARDS you) don’t help that.
One thing at a time. The LEO power answers will come when we can all get a grip on the things that LEO have to deal with, and when the LEO also wake up to find out that they have been lied to, used, and put into harm’s way for poor reasons.
I’m on your side, but we need to keep focused on a problem that all (Pro and anti leo) can agree on: The top of the command chain needs to be shut down and replaced.
I have a long history of butting heads with Law and Order Conservatives. Nothing gets said in a vacuum.
