Sheeesh....they basically just vacated the right to decline when they "ask" if they can search your car. The cops can say you "acted nervous" (who doesn't, when getting pulled over??) and bring in the dog. Dishonest ones can toss a roach in the car...

Now they can pull you over for "swerving in your lane" (aka, not driving in a perfect straight line) and search you for "acting suspicious".

Basically, they can pull you over and send in the dogs for a search with no cause whatsoever.

Today's tyranny minute has been brought to you by the U.S. Supreme Court. Nice work, folks.

Exactly right - What a terrible decision - My Father always warned about having too many judges appointed by Republicans on the High Court - He did so solely because of privacy rights and how they would be done away with simply for the power of police -

Daily we are losing our freedoms. We simply are.
