A bar or restaurant is not a public place; it is private property. A home or apartment complex is not private property, nor an automobile. Whatever happened to the Fourth Amendment and the right to be free of unreasonable searches? Whatever happened until waiting until there is probable cause, such as driving a motor vehicle in an irresponsible manner?

At best, these crackdowns are examples of unwarranted government intrusion into private matters. I must wonder if there is not a hidden agenda of effectively shutting down alcohol sales in bars and restaurants. Smoking is essentially prohibited in most places outside of private homes. Perhaps alcohol is the next target.

What is hypocritical are these pseudo-conservatives who are really authoritarians who post on FR defending any and every abuse of government power. What the Texas Alcohol Beverage Control Board is doing is as much unwarranted government intrusion as any "hate speech" or "speech code" ordinance.

Thank you. 100% correct. The only thing I hate more than a big government "conservative" is a big government liberal. And really there isn't that much different about them. Both want a nanny state. Both want their own values imposed on everyone else. The only difference are the particular things they want the nanny state to nanny about.
