You’re as full of excrement as a Xmas Goose. Are you sure you aren’t a Chicom plant? In Communist China the way the NYPD has been operating is SOP! It is incredible to me that anyone would give up their Constitutional Rights in this manner. Go home!

I'm not Chinese, although I have traveled to China to see the stacks of masonry we call the Great Wall (the Chinese apparently call it the Ten Thousand Mile Long Wall) and I have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in English translation, so maybe that makes me an honorary Chinese. I can tell you that the Chinese police are nowhere near this conscientious. Petty crime was out of control, to the extent that the local women never carried purses. At least that's the explanation I got from the tour guide. It's the Chinese version of what Sam Harris called anarcho-tyranny.

The average cop doesn't want to waste his time searching people - it's unpleasant, and standards of hygiene vary. All he wants to do is plunk his butt down at the local diner/donut shop and have some coffee to accompany his jelly donut.

I don't understand the sensitivity to this kind of stuff. Cops before the 60's routinely did it and crime was a fraction of current levels, to the extent that people did not lock their doors or their vehicles. Then the Federal courts turfed vagrancy laws and other statutes used to harass criminals, and - lo and behold - crime skyrocketed. The way people today talk about this law enforcement approach, you'd think the country was one big gulag before the unelected tyrants in black robes gave criminals free rein to do whatever they want whenever they want.
