I might add that it is unnecessary for demidog to be here to defend himself. His remarks, and his explanation of his remarks, are on the record for anyone wishing to take a few minutes to look it up.

Angelo - I remember those threads with DD. I'm a former LEO and I agree with Demidog. Those "laws" are resulting in clerks at photomarts calling the police when they see something they think is child pornography. Those threads were based on [I believe, its been awhile] a grandmother who was arrested because she took pictures of her grandchildren while they were bathing. That's bullshit and anyone that thinks the grandmother was engaged in child pornography should have their head examined with a hammer.

I have a further problem with that policy of co-opting a private individual to perform a search in order to get around the 4th Amendment - but the shills here saw "child porn" and screamed down anyone who disagreed with them with legitimate points.

Sink, you are a low-life piece of shit for mischaracterizing DD that way when he isn't here to defend himself. But that policy is a good example of the concerns some of us have with this "Homeland Security" BS. Just how far is HS going to go? Will they be co-opting private indivduals to circumvent th e restrictions placed on them by the Constitution?

This thread is too long already, I would direct everyone to this thread where the Southern Poverty Law Center seems to be directing Stratfor which seems to be directing the new Homeland Security in a very frightening direction, merely becuase individuals might get upset that the Government is restricting civil liberties.

Since when are we Americans not supposed to guard our freedoms? When did pointing out Gov. abuses and calling for adherance to the Constitution make one an extremist?
