“It’s better for a criminal get away because of constitutional protections than the country descend into a police state.”
That’s what the ACLU keeps telling us. We’re so far from a police state, it’s ridiculous. You ever been in one? You wouldn’t say such a foolish thing.
Thank you for confirming that you would rather government employees ignore constitutional protections simply because you disapprove of the behavior of the accused.
“Probable cause” is not sufficient, constitutionally, to search that woman’s residence.
The woman’s name was NOT on the warrant. Lance Thompson’s name WAS on the warrant. “Probable cause” does not mean “we get to invade homes of anyone we THINK or BELIEVE might be connected to Lance Thompson”
The *only* residence they could legally search was Lance Thompson’s residence.
YES, I was born in and lived in the USSR.
My grandparents were alive during the beginning and rise of the Soviet system. They also spent time in the Gulags and Hitler's death camps. I have many friends and family that live under the KGB state that still exists today. I know a f’n thing or two about police states.
It didn't happen overnight, but through small increments. I am seeing the same incremental things in the USA today.
They generate false fear in people like you to gain power and control in the name of fighting criminals, enemies, evildoers, terrorists, etc, etc, etc.
Remember, you have far more to fear from a corrupt government than even the most evil and determined street criminals. When government and police have too much power, THEY ALWAYS BECOME THE #1 CRIMINALS. 100% of the time. Government must be kept on the shortest possible leash and we must constantly look for ways to shorten that leash, not extend it.
Well, when the JBT’s blast your dog to the hererafter.....don’t come crying here, statist.
You authoritarian cop-lovers have a lot of CHUTZPAH calling yourselves conservatives.
