I'm used to a lot of appeasers who will easily give in and seeing your post I thought, 'Oh no, they got to HIM'.

lol...nah..I'm too hard headed and stubborn.

I know where we disagree, and it revovles around warrants for searches.

The thing is that there are situations, some I've mentioned, where a search is reasonable and there's no need for warrant.

Those situations are fairly limited and when the State oversteps those limits the courts usually toss it.

The key is that there has to be a reason for it to be reasonable.

We're probably wearing this one thin!

The only 'search' that I see as reasonable without a warrant is the 'pat down' when a suspect is apprehended. This is reasonable for officer safety.

But that's it. A pat down. Arrest him and get an order if you have a case to be made against him.

The other 'exception' isn't really a search and that's when the cop hears a cry for help. Again, he can open a closet to see if someone is in it, but he can't look in drawers and briefcases and such.

Beyond that, I don't see anything else that would dictate a search without a warrant.

And if you don't agree with me now, you really are stubborn. LOL

BTW, I was going back and forth with someone a few weeks ago. This person was being disruptive and I didn't want to let his crap go unchallenged.

Someone sent me a private message telling me that this poster would never be convinced. I explained why I continued to respond and he said that he admired my tenacity.

I told him that most people aren't as nice. I'm usually just called a stubborn bastard.
