[who knows what evil?]

It seems to me that this law needs to be expanded so that anonymous tips given to the police *cannot* be used to justify a violent SWAT raid, without other evidence presented to a judge who then issues a written warrant.

Standing and applauding...while they're at it; they can outlaw drug/sniffer dogs. The damn things are wrong 55-60% of the time, according to a piece in the Chicago Tribune.

Drug dogs. Haw-haw. While travelling between Az and Ca, a drug dog “hit” on my mother’s car.

It has never had so much as a lit cigarette in it, let alone any sort of illegal substance.

We were held up for nearly an hour while the dog repeatedly went through the car, its handler egging it on with the word “dirty” every 10 seconds.

Oh, the “officers” at the fruit stop also demanded our passports (we’re Canadian), even though we were 100 miles from Mexico. Our driver’s licences were not considered adequate, even though I have an “enhanced” DL that is accepted at the Cdn/USA border in lieu of a passport.

If these guys are going to enforce the law, should they not at least KNOW it, and FOLLOW it themselves?
