Well, all of the libertarians must have lit on this thread. Police state vitriol is at the max. Sorry, I happen to not think of the police (with the exception of the occasional bad egg) as my enemies. A cop lives in my condo building and he goes out of his way to be helpful to others. So many threads, so little time to spew forth venom on our “police state”. Go to Syria if you want to experience a real police state.
My God how the intellectual acuity of FReepers has dropped.
The problem isn't how they treat you when they are trying to "be helpful." It's what they'll do to you if you annoy them.
I think I've seen it all now.
