In the small town where I used to live ( less than 1500 people ), every cop on duty was present at a major bust: four high school kids caught with a pack of cigarrettes on the dash of their pickup.
While the town's finest were harrassing these kids, 3 of the towns business were professionally burglarized. Two of those businesses later closed, probably at least partially due to the losses and damage incurred in the burglaries.
All of the kids continue to smoke, now legally since they're all over 18.
Yeah... And why do we pay cops to sit by the side of the road pointing a radar gun at cars instead of following up on all the theft reports that they never do anything about? Oh, I forgot - there's "Revenue" to be had from traffic tickets, but all they'd be doing in the other case would be alleviating human misery. Silly me.
Sometimes I wonder, if I didn't have any I.D. or anyone who could identify me, if Our Beloved Government (all bow...) would simply hold me in jail forever since I couldn't identify myself... or would they simply give up at some point? Does the Government (On your knees, scum!) really want to feed and house people forever just because they can't produce their "Papers"?
And how many people does the Government (On your FACE, worms!!) think it can warehouse in this fashion? We may get a chance to find out, if Ubergruppenfuehrers Daschle and Gephardt manage to get their National-Socialist ID card - there are going to be a lot of people who will simply go to jail and stay there rather than meekly submit...
