Green Bay police counter these objections by pointing out that anyone pulled over has the right to refuse being fingerprinted
Seems only those with a dirty background have anything to fear.
Plus, how world it look if a terrorist was stopped and let go because he lied about his real ID?
Screww em all, if you're dirty, go to jail and and don't pass go.
Yeah right... screw the Bill of Rights!!!!
So you support this ridiculous gross misuse of biometrics? You trust the Green Bay pigs to be honest with this information? Do you think that this fingerprinting may have other more subtle uses, and these uses would be given the green light as soon as all the hubbub has died down? I'm curious.
And of course the Green Bay Police, being on the front lines of the War on Terror, will also be taking DNA samples to insure that everyone they stop isn't perhaps a distant relation to any of the 19 9/11 hijackers, and to reassure the public of their dedication to the Bill of Rights, a freshly printed and laminated copy of the Constitution will be rolled into a fine tube and rammed up the azz of every person detained in a traffic stop.
Hey, I'm all for fighting terrorism and bad guys, but this is bullshirt.
Why not just shoot the speeders on sight. After all they are criminals.
Here is an excerpt
4th Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
And the rest of us? Those who object to police-state tactics?
Considering what can be gleaned from a legitimate Driver's License number, one should refuse.
"Seems only those with a dirty background have anything to fear. "
That's the kind of thinking any authoritarian state encourages in it's subjects.
Is that a serious remark you've made?
Surely not.
If it was intended to be serious, may I remind you of the provisions of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution?
I invite you to read it, I won't post it here, just google US Constitution and find the Fourth Amendment thereto.
I fought several stinking little wars for this damned government, ostensibly in defense of that document.
I had several friends that gave their life for it.
Hell no, I will never willingly submit to this kind of police-state bullshit and anyone that does is not worthy of my support.
So can I assume that you just forgot the sarcasm tag?
But that's just it; I'm not dirty, I've never had my prints taken either. Why should I have to have the assumption of guilt thrust upon me because I have a tail light out? To make YOU feel better?
Sorry, but screw you.
I know about databases and this is just a way to populate databases with out all the hubub.
Boiling frogs dontchaknow.
Wake up and smell the $#!t.
"Seems only those with a dirty background have anything to fear. "
Or those who object on principle to being treated like a criminal.
A traffic infraction is not a crime, and people stopped for traffic infractions should not be treated like criminals.
