Is this the kind of lawyering that The Founders had in mind?

---

I cannot help but wonder what the Founders would think of the police getting paid to view and record naked citizens in a darkened viewing room inside police HQ.

When the police made a traffic stop on Kraft and his limo driver after Kraft's massage, the police dispatcher said "we'll come up with some reason" for making the traffic stop. What would the Founders think of this justification?

I can more likely think that members of the East Germany Stasi, which disbanded with the fall of the iron curtain in the early 90s, would be quite at home with this type of surveillance and life destroying political targeting. :)

I would answer this with the Revolutionary War as a backdrop.

The founders were dead men walking if the war was lost. Each and every one would be hanged. Many of them suffered economically or personally.

I cannot believe that after the war was over, and they were free of the petty tyrants of the King, that they would have enthusiastically approved of taking money from the people so that officers could expend huge amounts of manpower and resources to spy on people for any given reason. I think they would have been openly contemptuous of this Department and what it did. Many of them would have said that this is not what they had in mind when they went to war.
