Don't underestimate the number of 'rat cops.

I may make it removable and put it in the back window then use it on the way to work and back home. I drive 40 miles one way and it will be seen by a lot of motorists. Because I have to park my car on the street sometimes at night, members of the loony left would probably break the windows if they saw it.

I'd guess it the stop had to do with the recalled DHS report on Right wing Extremists.

My wife is from Ball, LA. It is known as a speed trap town, so without reading the article I would reckon that is what probably happened. On a side note, my 3 new “Don’t Tread on Me” stickers just went on my truck and I just got my hat in the mail yesterday. My wife says I look “damn good” in it!

Once again it is displayed clear as daylight. WHEN this country goes into tyranny the Police will be there to back up the Fed Gov 100%, no matter how much their orders trample rights and/or the Constitution.

But I’m sure I’m just bashing cops, no reason for me to warn folks, I’m overreacting. /sarc

I got a speeding ticket in Ball, LA once. Of course, in my story I don’t refer to the town name BALL at all.

Interesting thing is you can pay the fine on the spot - or they confiscate your license and give you a little stub.

Well, as bad as this may sound, those three networks do have a little more credibility than an un-named source from a third-hand account.

The notorious Department of Homeland Security memo, which was apparently based on the infamous Missouri State Police Report that described supporters of presidential candidates Bob Barr, Ron Paul, and Chuck Baldwin as "militia"-type potential extremists and potential terrorists...

Speaking from the deeper darker recesses of my "pro-militia" mind, I would think that "militia" members would go out of their way to blend in with the general populace. Calling attention to yourself is not compatible with "going dark" and silent running".

It’s important that this becomes the test case to nip this lunacy in the bud.

A third-hand story from a supposed event in an un-named town?

.... from a source that is pre-disposed to inflate it?

Is it illegal to belong to an “extremist” group? I don’t think so — Communists and John Birchers have been tolerated in this country for years.
