So you will leave it up to every cop to determined what laws are unconstitutional? What a free hand they would have in our society, talk about corruption. Better to concentrate on the law makers not the law enforcers.

What I was speaking of, is when police enforce a law they know is unconstitutional.

I'm still there. 2 to get to my 20.

Favorite quote I hear in the station: "Sorry I had to arrest you, I'm just following orders." That one don't fly with me.

I have a nice spot to spend my time remaining. I run the jail. I have the pleasure of seeing people arrested because our state supreme court determined that a mere complaint is probable cause for arrest. No need to do investigations anymore. The system is chewing up innocent people. More now than ever before. It used to be an unfortunate circumstance; now it's business as usual. Like we need the bad PR.

And you're dead wrong about it not being the duty of every LEO to determine what is, or is not, lawful and constututional. It is essential to the proper execution of duty. Peace officers were never intended to be soldiers. You don't know what you're talking about.
