Tennessee is highly selective upon whom it enforces laws. For example Oak Ridge Tennessee one of the Crown Jewels for our defense production you will find it too be an illegal alien sanctuary city [unofficially of course} It also likely has the highest Chinese immigrant population of any Tennessee city. Any city along I-40, I-75, I-81, I-24, etc in Tennessee is flooded with illegals. Tennessee Law Enforcement nor the so called Tennessee GOP majority lawmakers care.

If the LEA's can't make money in property forfeitures they are not interested. That is where this new idea is coming in. I'm not bashing the beat officers I'm bashing Chiefs up to county and city mayors as well as state lawmakers on this matter. Anyhring for revenue in Tennessee is the prevailing theme today in our local and state government.

Rigs are worth $100K plus that are road worthy. The agencies don't give a tinker D if you have a bus load of south of the U.S. border residents here illegally. They will ignore that. They will ignore their infractions up to felony over anyone elses. I know of a rental truck several years ago that went from Chattanooga too Jellico filled with illegals. THP even had a BOLO out on the truck. I heard the BOLO out of Chattanooga on a scanner as I was driving up I-75. It nearly hit me in Sweetwater. That BOLO was likely not too catch it even though it ran people almost off the road including myself. But too avoid it and let it go on through too points north I think was the purpose. Get an 18 wheeler with cargo that does not have proper USDA etc markings and Forfieture JACKPOT.

Also by a knownews report or rather several posted over a three day period the next target of the Tennessee LEA's is persons legal and lawfully gained prescriptions they consider to be what you don't need. Does this comment raise anyones eyebrows?

"People are afraid of meth, because everybody doesn't do meth," Newport Police Chief Maurice Shults said. "Everybody doesn't do crack. But everybody's on pills of some kind. Pills come from a doctor. People see that as safe. A doctor gives them out, so they've got to be good." Prescription pills are East Tennessee's 'new crack'

Well yes chief when my doctor whom has treated me and my family for various degrees of ailments over the years writes a script and educates us about it as does my pharmacist then yes I see it safe too take as prescribed. I also consider it to be none of your business as well as long as I break no laws. Who made this police chief our doctor or our doctors second guesser? More government intrusion into all our lives rather than demanding personal responsibility from abusers themselves who will get the drugs either made safely from U.S. licensed and safe manufacturers or illegally from a Mexican or worse drug cartel or Bubba's Lab somewhere in the hood.

Cocke County Tennessee for decades since prohibition has been an illicit alcohol and drug capitol. The history of Cocke law enforcement over the years is also less than flattering. Many have been involved in it themselves from booze to drugs too gambling. More money in it if it's illegal though.

The news about TSA's nest big adventure at the top of this thread came out in Tennessee papers last week. www.knoxnews.com blanketed their web site with prescription drugs abuse articles earlier this week along with the obligatory liberal boo hoo bring on more government regulation comments in them. Anyone think this is just a fluke?

The sad part is almost every major Tennessee towns police chief and sheriff have bought into the more government regulation and more intrussion is what we need policies. We already have a state department of health in Tennessee and several licensing boards to deal with wayward doctors. Yes their is a slim minority doing wrong. Deal with them and stay out of evveryone elses exam room. We have laws for child abuse and neglect. We have laws for driving reckless or under influence.
