” - - - Michigan Sheriff Robert Pickell - - - “
Looks like America has another responsible sheriff.
Both Joe Arpaio and Robert Pickell should be nominated for High Federal Posts right after the 11-2012 National election.
The government is far too big. Far to powerful.
I want small government.
If you are concerned with Illegals as Arpio is, the solution is simple.
Don’t provided free education to illegal immigrants. Don’t allow them to drive. Don’t allow them to own property. Don’t allow them to utilize free emergency room services.
Then no problem with the illegal immigrants. Then no need for the anti-4th amendment checkpoints. No need for law enforcement all across this country using petty traffic laws to subvert the 4th amendment.
I believe it is incompatible with small government conservatism to vote at the local level to have very powerful cities, awash in full time law enforcement and broad discretionary powers to intervene in non criminal activities.
It is wrong to use traffic citations to fund the municipal court system. Just make it smaller and make it live within it’s means. Why are the nicest buildings in most towns the municipal buildings? I operate a 2.5 million dollar a year business out of a 6000 square foot metal building. My office is a trailer. I don’t have “nice digs” like the Police, Fire, Mayor, city council. I earn my money. I don’t use municipal power to steal it from citizens at the point of a gun in the dubious name of that highly venerated goddess, “safety”.
On what planet?
Arpaio should be head of the INS, for sure. He uses probable cause.
Pickell should be tarred, feathered and ridden out of the USA on a cactus trunk for laziness and fee grabbing.
