"There are indeed constitutional barriers to the type of police powers the British are using. -- England is a becoming a socialistic nightmare that the USA does not need to copy."

That's certainly a concern, yes. It suprises me to so often see your constitution addressed in seemingly negative terms on FR in recent times.

Many FReepers seem to have lost sight of the fact that FR was founded on the premise that our Constitution was being ignored by government, and needed to be restored as our supreme law.

In their misguided quest for 'safety' some here now demand more 'laws' that restrict liberties. --- Go figure that one.
