I'm against the bill. Smacks of big brother. And I'm irritated that a (R) is sponsoring it. But what you suggest would be a hoot...
That's a houtonian (R) which stands for RINO. This is the kind of two faced meallt mouthed con artist that the Republican party must get rid of.
“I’m against the bill. Smacks of big brother. And I’m irritated that a (R) is sponsoring it.”
Please see my prior post. This article is nonsense.
From the article:
Patricks’ bill does not specify exactly who a ‘peace officer’ who is authorized to demand papers is. It doesn’t say whether it would be limited to TCLOSE certified police officers, or would apply to constables, security guards, or neighborhood watch members. It also doesn’t specify what passes for ‘i.d’ and wither it would have to be a photo i.d.
Rubbish. Security Guards? Neighborhood watch? Only peace officers can temporarily detain a person for reasonable suspicion of having committed a crime.
Also from the article:
The bill also does not spell out any safeguards or recource for citizens who are asked at random to identify themselves to police.
Nonsense. Random detentions are not legal. The bill does not even apply to that.
Call into Dan Patrick’s radio show and talk to him about it.
4:00 - 6:00 PM CST when he isn’t in session.
