Mr Trump is skating mighty close to the line here. Free men and women are free to travel the public byways without being subjected to unreasonable search. Where you are, the time of day, your apparel, ethnicity, age, attitude, etc. ARE NOT sufficient cause to stop someone and if you can't legally stop them then you can't frisk them. The Donald NEEDS to clarify his position on this quickly. I take my freedoms seriously and protect them with vigor. You want to stop and frisk me just to see what I'm up to? Okay, maybe I'll stop by and frisk your wife and daughter just to see what they are up to.

Clear this up quickly Mr Trump, you're flirting with tyranny here.

If you watch the Fox and Friends interview - I posted a short excerpt above - Trump directly talks about letting cops take guns away from people, and that somehow the cops know who should and shouldn't have guns.

I am feeling this is crossing that line - I've caught enough crap from LEOs when I have legally possessed/carried firearms in the past, either personally or within my vehicle, and I've had a few outside of my home state that were not thrilled about me being a CCL holder, when they saw that I had a CCL. I don't take my firearms out of state, mind you, but they did not like that I was a CCL holder.

Mr Trumps statement:

Basically, they will, if they see you know, they’re proactive and if they see a person possibly with a gun or they think may have a gun, they will see the person, and they’ll look and they’ll take that gun away.

DEFINITELY crosses the line and any police officer using that as his reason for stop and frisk would be conducting an ILLEGAL stop.

I had an experience several years ago that started with an illegal stop and resulted in weapons being pulled - which is why I'm well versed on this subject. Ultimately two officers were disciplined. We either protect our rights or they WILL take them from us.
