So far, what it says in the article is boat and private jets. I have neither. But, as I suspected long ago, it will
just be a metter of time before they go after my Corben and my F-150. I still stand by my original belief that the
knee-jerk reactions are just a convenient cover to take away our freedoms. I don't need the government to protect
me...I can use my own guns to wipe out terrorists...
Have any of you ever been walking down the street, just minding your own business, when a cop stopped you and asked to
see your ID? Have you ever said no? Did you pay the price for saying no? This has been going on for years,and no-one
seems to give a damn....
Awhile back a black lawyer with dreadlocks used to walk through
white neighbourhoods so the cops would stop him and ask for ID. The
courts decided the police have no right to demand proof of
identification without probable cause. They have since found that
refusal to provide your name verbally is obstruction or something.
Unfortunately too many people who have nothing to hide tell police
who as that they don't mind if their vehicles are searched. If they
think they have probable cause they should have no problem getting a
search warrant. They may cuff you and put you in their vehicle "for
their own protection," to intimidate you into agreeing to a search. An
honest cop will tell you they catch lots of bad guys this way, but it
tramples a law abiding citizen's rights despite what the courts may say.
