You are really a scarry person and I can’t believe you consider yourself a FReeper. Isn’t it a fairly fundamental principle that the government has to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt? Freeper you are not. Nanny state loser, you are.
You’re right knee-jerk. We don’t need any nanny state searching people just because they’re driving around with tens of thousands with no explanation for it. The guy’s probably just prepared for an engine replacement like someone suggested. The flying imams were probably just exercising their right to prayer and political dissent, and that centrifuge in my backyard is for my own power consumption.
Being free doesn’t mean being stupid. Searching someone fitting the profile of someone with such a high criminal probability is essential to police work. That’s universally expected, has always been legal, but unfortunately leads borderline schizophrenics with rage problems into believing a police state is just around the corner. Good luck with that…
