Just when you think the USSC can't get any dopier than they already are...

Bend over. We got your freedom right here...

Isn't this how its always been?

"You certainly wouldn't let three people with Uzis in their car leave because no one would admit the uzis were theirs," he said.

And, what, pray tell, is wrong with owning an Uzi?

Telling.

Member since 12-10-03, May I ask? LeRoy is that you?

[Hank Rearden]

Supporting Maryland in the case were the Bush administration

Of course. More of that "limited government" crap and lies that Bush Jr.'s been spouting to buy votes.

"The case stemmed from an incident in 1999, when police in the Baltimore suburbs pulled over a speeding car. A search revealed a roll of cash in the glove compartment and cocaine in an armrest in the back seat."

... and just WHY was a car searched over a speeding ticket ?

Methinks there is more here then the writer is telling us.

"There's nothing in this opinion to prevent a police officer from arresting a graduate student who is offered a ride home late at night from a party that she has attended with some fellow students," said Tracey Maclin, a Boston University law professor.

When a conservative scholar or celebrity is arrested for riding in a vehicle where one of the passengers has illegally-obtained Oxycontin, then we will revisit the case.

Another good reason not to pick up hitchhikers.

"How many times have you gotten a ride with a friend? Are you going to peer around in their glove compartment?" asked Kemler, who fears the ruling will lead to a police dragnet. "You could find probable cause to arrest everybody."

THUG RULE! Blackbird.

[zeugma]

I'm so glad we have republicans holding the house, senate, and white house, so the creeping police state will finally get rolled back.

Oh, wait....

[OPS4]

I always thought that drugs and driving dont mix. So arrest whoever if the drugs are there. Maybe then druggies will not be tempting non-druggies, then young minds may flourish.

Ops4 God BLess America!

[Husker24]

So if you get in a cab and the driver has some Cocaine in the glove compartment and he gets pulled over, you go to jail? This has gotten to an idiotic level. This is why i registered as a independant and not a Republican. I dont support this kind of crap or some of the drug forfiture laws.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

In a small space like a car, an officer could reasonably infer "a common enterprise" among a driver and passengers, the justices ruled.

Hooo boy does that cover a lot of ground.

Just imagine what kind of "common enterprise" any pissed off LEO could dream up during a traffic stop.

[Looking4Truth]

America is gone. Welcome to the New World Order.

[King Black Robe]

Our rulers have spoken.

[Free Vulcan]

Since I think it would be illegal go thru somebody's car to make sure they don't have anything illegal in them, how exactly do I go about making sure they are legal before I get a ride with them?

[vpintheak]

Are police officers really that evil? Why is everyone so scared that a police officer (who by the way deal with this crap every day)can tell there is more going on than what the people are telling him. Arrest everyone, bring them in, look at the evidence, question the suspects, and then release the innocent people. Simple as that, there is no SCARY POLICE STATE. Bad things happen, good things happen, all we ever hear for the most part are the bad things. Cops are by far some of the best people you will ever meet.

[EuroFrog]

This doesnt bother me at all since me and my husband are the only ones that ever drive our car and rarely if ever does another person outside of my family get in the car and its usually a friend on our way to our church ladies group.

[Dan from Michigan]

HEIL SCOTLER!!!
