I know a little. And I know that local police shouldn't be compared to Nazis monsters. And it's better to filter through haikus than beer. |

Friggin' Nazis.
Judge: "Where's your evidence that the Defendant is guilty??
Cop: "He says he didn't do it, Your Honor."
Disgusting police state tactics. Give them DNA samples from lizards and birds and hope their machines choke on them.
You mis-read the post.
They're not rounding up people
and transporting them
to forced-labor camps.
And they are not gassing Jews
and Gypsies. They're just
sampling DNA
which causes no pain and might
capture a killer.
Yeah, we're all upset
the Packers lost. But drinking
this early is bad . . .
You know nothing about the nature of a police state. I recommend reading...lots of reading.
I'd love to discuss it with you, but you insist on filtering all your thoughts through those half-assed haikus.
This being a small town any "Who's your Daddy" surprises will leak out.
Amendment IV 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.
I guess this just menas nothing to you, yes ?

You're right that you know 'a little.' If the local police behave like a Nazi (a Gestapo man, specifically), they must be compared to a Nazi.
But you're wrong to call them haikus. Merely using a 5-7-5 syllable pattern does not a haiku make.
And anyone who believes this quote is naive beyond description.
I would have no problem with this if there was any way to assure that the samples don't go in some DNA database after each donor is ruled out. It's voluntary and it may help catch a killer. Trouble is, I'm not sure there is a way that I could be convinced that the sample would be destroyed after I was ruled out as a suspect.
Uh, well, I guess he could be one of those rare Massachusetts conservatives.
ACLU is 100% right on this one. This crosses the line big time, as do most 4th Amendment issues of the last 50 years. If they want to do this kind of crap for any reason, including drugs or terrorism, they have to amend the Constitution.
Cop: "He says he didn't do it, Your Honor."
Martha Stewart isn't laughing.
"Martha Stewart isn't laughing."
Oh how true.........
Yep, string him up, he did it. :)
What about if every car going down a road was searched...or every person going into a plane was searched...or every person getting a check cashed at a bank not their own was fingerprinted...or every person taking a job that had to deal with kids had to be fingerprinted?
Infringements on the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure that happen every day because enough folks think it's just fine. This is just one more step, this voluntary DNA id'ing. We'll see which other towns try it since they have an example now.
Why stop there? We could just implant radio transmitters in everyone's butt-cheek at birth.
