Off-duty deputy having a beer videotaped

At this time we are concerned about the mental well-being of this person in our county who is apparently trying to secretly videotape activities at the county recreational areas

Ouch... that's gonna leave a mark.

The whole threat to freedom seems to be the do-gooders.

Can you believe that Pat Robertson wants tobacco out-lawed?

I watched the 700 Club 2 weeks ago and he was saying that tobacco needs culled in time, and that tobacco growers need moved into other crops.

But was he smoking???

[ForeverPure]

This videotaper seems like an obsessive-compulsive voyeur.

"This holier than thou anti-beer culture has gone too far."

You can say that again!

[ForeverPure]

Smokers are the new Nazi-style system pariahs.

Cigs are now viewed like vile sticks.

[Ken H]

I bet it's a personal spat between the deputy and someone such as an ex-girlfriend, ex-wife etc.

[ForeverPure]

I enjoy beer and I will be mad if some Carrie A. Nation type tries to stop me from quaffing it as a pleasure.

[ForeverPure]

It could be.

I had no thought of it.

Secret cameras are all the rage in the UK.

Tens of thousands of them sit up and watch life.

I'm shocked! He wasn't a Rosco Coltrane in cahoots with Boss Hogg. A cop drinking beer off-duty in a park? Oh gee, I wonder what the penalty would have been if he smoked a cigarette there...

Next, we'll find out that he was also picking his nose.

Yep. Then he scratched himself in public. *GASP!*

[theDentist]

Or someone who hates cops or authorities or someone who has a personal beef (maybe arrested once himself for drinking a beer in the Park).

[Bahbah]

I never have my beers videotaped. They never do anything interesting.

[ForeverPure]

It would depend on whether or not he was allowed to smoke cigarettes to begin with.

Many accredited LEO outfits do not allow smoking by their staff.

[guitfiddlist]

America has gone MADD (read Prohibition II), and I imagine their leaders are getting soused somewhere, toasting their own success.

[ForeverPure]

That is very possible.

This whole thing sounds petty, doesn't it?

[Poohbah]

And then he passed gas in public!

[ForeverPure]

Prohibition has been coming back steadily since about 1978.

Have you seen signs of it as well?
