Sorry hear that, sounds like Las Vegas is further along the police state than some.

Also, I was pulled over and questioned by the police with no probable cause. They separated my girlfriend and I and questioned us. That was just as disconcerting.

“Las Vegas is further along the police state than some.”

Probably one of the worst in the nation. The tactics they use are amazing. I remember once when they wanted raises. They asked (and got, mind you), for a special sales tax of IIRC 1-2% just to pay for more police, saying that it would help offset the police that were used on “the strip.” Many people were against it, and said, if we have the sales tax, get rid of the property taxes.

So, about a month before the vote, the cops quit responding to calls. It would take an hour or two for simple traffic issues. When people complained, they’d say “Well, vote for the tax increase so we can get more cops,” so the people voted in favor of the resolution/bill. Immediately (the next day) the cops were back out in gestapo fashion. Terrible.
