“Hundreds of marijuana plants were seized by police officers “
You might not like it, but they are finding the stuff.
Well, that takes care of the last of America's problems.
Well, duh!
If I was free to enter several of my neighbors' homes I know I could find the stuff, too. Do you claim to have no acquaintances who smoke pot? Have you turned them in? Are you willing to build jail cells to hold them and provide the heat, food, and healthcare for them while incarcerated?
Why is it that I can look around and see that the War on Some Drugs is an incredible waste of time and resources, and yet you can't? I don't understand it.
THAT's your measurment of whether or not the police should be allowed to violate the Constituional protections hundreds of thousands of brave Americans died to preserve for us?
Seesh, we are in trouble.
If that's your standard............have you ever given thought to how many regulations are currently being broken in your own home? I'll wager I could find at least ten, and I'm not even an LEO trained 'to take down civilians'.
You're so stupid you deserve no freedoms.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there arent enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? Whats there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt.
Now thats the system, Mr. Reardon, thats the game, and once you understand it, youll be much easier to deal with.
