"reasonable cause" is actually "probable cause".

If half the shootings involved a particular white van of make and model, sure, stop them all, but, we have a situation where only a few shootings involve a white van and with different van descriptions, including different sizes.

As such, it is sloppy police work to say that all white vans and trucks within a ten mile radius should be stopped and the drivers arrested. Yes, arrested. Being handcuffed is an arrest.

If a witness could describe a particular vehicle, then it would be prudent to stop all vehicles that matched the description, but we don't have such a witness.

If the police could identify a particular rifle, should all known owners of such a rifle have their homes busted into and have the owners hancuffed and face down into their front lawns, while their guns are carted off for further analysis?

This dragnet crap of all white vans and trucks is sloppy police work, not a prudent necessity.

Obviously not ALL drivers of white vans are being "busted". Probably just those who are mouthing off about needing a search warrent and not answering reasonable questions. We've seen two pictures. Are you telling me that there were only two white vans in all those thousands of cars that were being stopped? You don't even know that they were being arrested.

You guys sound as bad as the Al Queda using our own laws to support a killer. If you guys can do so much better then the LEO's then I suggest you get your guns and get out there and kill that guy and then you won't have to worry about anyone stomping on your "rights". In the meantime, there's a madman out there who is intent on picking us off one by one while you're sitting safe at home at your keyboard second guessing the men and women who are out on the front lines taking their lives in their hands each time they approach an unknown vehicle.

If you haven't got the guts to be out there with them, then SHUT UP!
