Enemies Foreign AND Domestic... In the mean time, I'll be waiting for the "if you have nothing to hide" crowd to show up...
You didn’t get the memo? The Bill of Rights only protects criminals now. Honest people have “nothing to hide” so they shouldn’t object to some minor inconveniences to stop crime...
...committed by criminals...
...who have more rights than we do.
Hey...wait a danged minute!! That’s not right!
Relax. It’s for your own good. It’s for the children. You have nothing to fear as long as you have done nothing wrong and can prove your loyalty to the State. And your papers are in order.
“There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”

Look for the coming of viewscreens. Winston and Julia worked around them and we’ll have to as well.
Put your bike helmet on, put your cig. out, put your seatbelt on, don’t eat ANYTHING w/ any fat, sugar or taste, etc., etc., etc., When does the revolution start?
I’ve had to put up unfriendly “NO Tresspassing” signs at the setback to my property to keep the police from continuing their no knock searches of my backyard for “contraband” called in by my next door neighbor. That way, next time they try to ticket stuff in my backyard without coming over with a warrant, the judge will throw them out again.
Enemies Foreign AND Domestic...Tell the police that you’re an illegal alien, and they’ll wave you through.
Maine’s been doing these “vehicle compliance” checkpoints for decades. I first ran into one in Rockland 25 years ago. They are principally for revenue generation.
Checkpoint nets are unconstitutional. Hopefully a supreme court will eventually DO ITS DUTY and throw checkpoints out once and for all.
You said it yourself: ONGOING violations.
The aim is to make these anti-Constitutional acts part of everyday life so that those protesting and/or refusing to comply will be portrayed as criminals.
Or chute, perhaps.
Turns out the state Supreme Court had ruled that the only way the cops would be allowed to set up these roadblocks was if they ignored *any* other violation other than drunk driving.I assume that "probable cause" was the main issue.
I wonder what they would have done if they had seen the dead body in the back seat? ;-)
