OSHA is not welcome in many circles, nor DEA, nor BATF

I may not like a lot of what they do, but I still follow the law to the best of my ability. If I want to change the system I group with others likeminded and we try to change the system. I DON'T like a lot of the things the feds do, but the only power they have is the power we the people give them from our lack of involvement. By posting here and alerting others, grouping with people locally, and voting we can stem the tide and get back to where we believe we should be. Will it ever get bad enough that we blatanly break the law to overthrow an opressive regime? Perhaps. But that time has not yet come. These officers have a duty to uphold the law and enforce it's rules. It is for a jury to decide if the law applies. They need to do their job.

I understand your point, but I may disagree on whether the time has come. It won't be a black/white line, it will, IMHO, be very gradual in certain areas.
One cop I talked with, a deputy sheriff, and he said that he would use his best judgement to know where to focus his skills. He also said "why shouldn't I?" "That (expletives deleted) Clinton got away with all sorts of crap, and he got elected twice!" "I will always spend more time and effort going after the tweakers selling amphetamines to school kids, than some brown skin swinging a shovel."
Kinda' hard to see when that time comes, but darn I do see interesting changes out there.

And yes, there is a frustration with law makers. They seem to ignore the plain folks, in many peoples minds. The 'can't make the laws change to be fair because the SOBs are bought and paid for!'

..... These officers have a duty to uphold the law and enforce it's rules. It is for a jury to decide if the law applies. They need to do their job .....

But like all of the world's socialist police forces they have become abjectly politicised, have placed themselves above the law, care only for their own wellbeing -- and pretend to work only enough to qualify for the feral-gummint subsidies that enhance their drug-distribution-network incomes.
