Aren’t warrantless searches without cause like, you know...UNCONSTITUTIONAL???

[Originalist]

Here’s hoping they continue to miss the start date in perpetuity...

This is police state tactics.

The program, dubbed Safe Homes...

That's funny. I have a program at my home called Safe Home. It involves arming myself, my wife, and my children with large-capacity semi-autos, handguns, and shotguns. So far it seems to be working.

"Boston police officials, surprised by intense opposition from residents, have significantly scaled back and delayed the start of a program that would allow officers to go into people's homes and search for guns without a warrant."

Boston police officials, HUMILIATED by FAILED MEMORIES OF LEXINGTON AND CONCORD, have significantly scaled back and delayed the start of a program that would allow officers to go into people's homes and search for guns without a warrant.

Boston police officials, surprised by intense opposition from residents,

SURPRISED??? SURPRISED???? Surprised that citizens don't want the law in their home, taking notes for later use?? Surprised, indeed.

[null and void]

They need to disarm the poor before they really stick it to them.

Pass it on...

Well, they did it once befor in Boston and it looks like the time has come to do it again.

Is anyone reading the entire article? Has anyone read past reviews of this program. The core word is “PERMISSION”. The police were to enter and look for guns via the “espressed permission” of the owners.
There are all too many “community leaders” in Boston and every other large city that leap at the chance to criticize the police, but have NOTHING to say about the daily and almost hourly slaughter of young people on our streets. From family and friends of the dead we hear wails of mourning, while from the “leaders” only the “sounds of silence”.
The MSM trumpets the tragedy of 4000 dead in several years of war in Iraq. In the same time, how many young minority children have been the victims of drive-by shootings, innocent bystander shootings, ricochet bullets, and sudden rage shootings? What says the MSM about the toll of dead here at home.
The much scorned “Bush’s war” has made the country safer, if not safe, but who speaks up to make the neighborhoods safe? Again, the sounds of silence.

Surprised? They thought that we would act like sheep as most people do. They were wrong.

[wastedyears]

I’d rewrite the first line, but it would probably get me banned.

"the searches would be based on tips from the community, including neighbors, school officials,..."

Ah! The old "narc on your neighbor" program.

If I remember right, the Hitler Youth participated in a program like that.

(Of course nobody would abuse that if they were just pissed off at somebody.)
