What I am saying is simply this. In the Minneapolis area, we have some people doing some things they shouldn't. Especially in the Bloomington and Richfield area. I'd lay money on it, after my posting, I get pulled over and ticketed. Why? Because some people abuse their power. Don't get me wrong, I have always respected the law, and have never done anything to ask for trouble. However, I have had some injustices done to me by the police because They Could, when I was a kid. Now as an adult, I can tell you that it's very real. The vulgar display of power is Very Real.
The police are doing things they KNOW are constituionally illegal. I realize that they have to uphold the local laws. The problem is that a lot of them aren't saying anything about it, nor are they trying to change things. When they start going door to door for health and welfare inspections, and start confiscating guns, that will be the time that people wake up.
Unfortunately, the sheep will bleat, but nothing will be done.
I didn't have to wait too long. Was in the middle of a conversation on the phone, and all of a sudden, I hear a beep a few clicks, and then disconnected. When I resumed my call with a client, they told me they heard people talking about my business. How quaint...
Maybe it's the paranoia talking, but then again it could be that someone didn't like what I wrote. How nice... I better break out the Wagner, and Mahler CD's to learn how to goose step properly.
