This is the way he figures it: These aren't normal law abiding people going to jail for crimes they didn't commit. These are scum bags that have probably committed other crimes that they weren't caught for . . . so if they go up for rape or whatever, they probably did stuff like that anyway . . . so if they burn oh well.
I talked to another conservative person about the same thing . . and he had the same opinion.
He also didn't think it was a bad thing to violate their normal rights . . ilegal search and seizure? Well, whats the big deal? They were guilty anyway. And also innocent people should have no trouble with being searched to clear themselves.
What do you guys think? I mean this a law enforcement officer . . .

I think that is the most frightening thing I have heard in a long time, and needless to say, I completely disagree. I am an innocent person, and I would have a *big* *huge* problem having myself searched for no good reason just to clear myself. I'm sure that anyone in Illinois who runs into the officer known not-so-affectionately as "The Proctologist" would agree with me.
Aside from the fact that we live in a free society where I think we should be free from being bothered by the police for no reason, what are the racial ramifications of this scheme these officers propose? Who will be the ones they're pulling over and stopping, I would guess 9 times out of 10? I'll tell you who: young black men. It's pathetic. It's true that I'm probably not a person who would be bothered by police, but if one person is searched for no reason, then I feel that I, as a citizen, am being violated as well. If we don't all stick up for each other and against this b.s., then who will?
I think these people should be fired. Sorry if I sound mad, but that REALLY offends me. The thing is, I see bogus crap like this every time. If it weren't so sad, it would be almost funny to read the crap police put in their reports to make it look like they had a good reason to stop someone when you and I both know that they didn't. It REALLY bothers me.
