i am fully capable of being the storm trooper of whom you speak. but i have chosen to take a different route in my career.

and yes the constitution guards against unreasonable search and seizure. i, and the law, however see this circumstance as very reasonable.

overzealous? perhaps. but that is not for me to decide. i wasn't there. it seems many posters on this thread were there, though.

And as Shakespeare once opined, "the Law is an ass". More importantly, the Founders themselves regarded any law passed by the States or Congress that ran contrary to the Constitution as "no law". Part of that whole Art 6 para 2 thingie you and the rest of the law business types like to overlook as it helps you justify your paycheck.

Raids like this are not just bad "policy". From a Constitutional/Freedom stand point... they are downright evil. And that isn't just hyperbole speaking there.

They have no place in any Country trying to kid itself into thinking it's still based on "freedom" at all.
