you do not get it! I don't like Gate's attitude, he could have been more personable, even thanked the cop for protecting his property. But, one can not be disorderly on their own property (or where they rent). One is allowed to be a dumb a**. No government official can come into one's home on a call from a second hand witness.

If that is allowed, I can call 911 any time anyone pisses me off and claim someone told me this person threatened to do some sort of crime.

Our rights to personal property and against illegal search and seizure would be forfeit for rumors.

I would prefer the police observe my constitutional rights. They take an oath to uphold the laws of the land, the primary being teh constitution.

Now you are getting downright comical. Why don't you quit while you aren't too far behind in being rational about this thing?

So when the 99 year old woman across the street hasn't been seen or heard from in a couple of days, she should just lie there? If my neighbor's away on vacation and billowing smoke, the fire has to be fought from outside. If I know my neighbor is at work and his front door is kicked in and I see a couple of mexicans rounding up all his belongings, the cops can't do anything until they leave the property?

But, one can not be disorderly on their own property (or where they rent).

Does that mean I can walk around my porch naked? Can I blast rap music all night long? Can I stand in front of my house and scream that my neighbor is the spawn of hell?

If that is allowed, I can call 911 any time anyone pisses me off and claim someone told me this person threatened to do some sort of crime.

You don't think you'd be arrested for filing a false police report?

Look, your libertarian impulses are a good thing. Far better than the authoritarian impulses of the left. But think things through before you couch them as reasonable in a civilized society.

It's one thing to adopt these policies in a private encampment in a rural area. It's another to try to function with them in an urban area.

Ever hear of Child Protective Services?
