Most people here are in to personal responsibility and smaller government, not Big Government Nanny Statism. Protecting freedom instead of stripping it from us bit by bit. Constitutional restrictions on Government power instead of your own cheerleading for more and more Jackbooted thuggery.

Libertine indeed. Shut the hell up you Socialist.

Hurd ruled that Robert (Bugsy) Moran, a Hells Angel member and defense attorney accused of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, had "no expectation of privacy in the whereabouts of his vehicle on a public roadway."

This is great news.

See post 116 and ask yourself; if someone in my family was kidnapped and there was a suspect, would I want to know where they have been in the last, say, 24 hours?

I hope you remember that as they are installing the "safety" camera in your living room. After all, if you have nothing to hide....

Yes. And if I were wrongly charged with a crime, I would like to know that my Rights are being recognized. How ever did cops solve crimes in the past? Oh yeah... they did REAL work and were only expected to go after REAL criminals who committed real crimes.

That, and anyone trying to kidnap members of my family had better be much better armed. We take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY for our own safety.

Got any other straw men you wanna through my way? If so, don't. I've got some work I need to get done this afternoon and am disinclined to play along.

At this point in my life, if I'm being followed, my pursuers might get bored to death, albeit after bits of terror following me on a mountain road.

It's a bit frightening to see the number of posters here who willfully have a tongue covered in boot polish.

I wonder if they're just simply misguided, or paid shills?

Ya got me there, pal... I'd be a liar if I didn't donate to the RNC. But how and about what, those elude me. Please bring your superior intellect to bear and tell me. Also explain how suggesting you and your buddy get a clue relates to marching in lockstep with the RNC elitists and being just another Koolaid drinker. Then you could respond to my actual POST, perhaps... I'll be sure to hold my breath until you do.

(is this an example of your deep thinking???)

... so that some interested party can send you contributions so you can buy a clue... some interested party can send you contributions so you can buy a clue...

Do you recognize this comment ?

Put the alchohol down and honor your word.

Since I wrote those words, I supposeI should recognize them... However, a suggestion that you beg money so you can buy a clue does NOT translate into either a desire to help you directly any further than the information I have provided OR a desire to become a Pubbie Koolaid drinker... so I guess that this would make me out to be a liar in your lexicon. Too bad, since I never offered to send ANYONE any money...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize how busy you were. But just remember, cops are merely the vehicles in which the law travels. Last time I checked, police officers didn't get to sign off on legislation or case laws. Cops also have rights when it comes to enforcing the laws so don't blame the messengers for enforcing measures within their powers. Powers given to them by the courts.

Registration has the same problem most anti-gun laws have, they are obeyed by the lawabiding. Criminals ignore them.

However, I do not fear registration leads to confiscation.

Perhaps you should. Registration of firearms has led to confiscation in many instances, and not all of them abroad. In recent years registration lists have been used to confiscate guns in Cleveland and in California, that I am aware of. There are probably other cases as well.

And, of course, there are numerous foreign examples.

"However, I do not fear registration leads to confiscation. "

Registration also led to confiscation of rifles brought back by WW II veterens to New York City.

In 1928, the Germans passed a law requiring registration and licensing. When Hitler got in power in 1933, the lists were available.

Both of the jokers you're arguing with have posted in support of gun control within the last few weeks. They're hopeless.

Oh I guess we still have our houses, thats right.

Most people rent their houses from the government. (It's called "property taxes." As another sage has pointed out, these funds are primarily used for the indoctrination of children living in one's vicinity.)

"troubling to privacy advocates"

These privacy advocates are always troubled. Who are they? Can we find out more about them? Need to track them and see if they are dangerous, you know they wouldn't be troubled if they had nothing to hide. What are they hiding?

"But, it is legal for us citizens to attach a GPS to the LEO cruiser and track his movements?" ACtually, it would be better to do it to politician's cars and post on a website, by district, where they are going and posit what they are doing. That would be a quick way to get this slapped down.

Excellent idea. Tracking the cops may illegal under some species of obstruction of justice, but tracking pols should be fine.

(As long as you do not threaten them...I think stalkers get busted for GPS tracking because they use it to stalk/harass their victims)
