Coast Guard Inspections
Scott,
I'm quite sure you aren't a criminal, at least I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. :-) So would you mind having your car, boat, home searched? After all you have nothing to hide. Some people think there is nothing wrong with this, after all it will catch the criminals. BTW have you exceeded the speed limit? Well if you did, even if only by one mile per hour, aren't you now a criminal? I'm old enough to remember a guy in Texas about 30 years ago getting 10 years in prison for possession of one joint of weed. How big a threat was he to society? I'd heard an phrase that says, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, I'm just against giving more power to the government to intrude into our privacy. Now I understand their need to combat terrorism but it's like a band wagon that a lot of law enforcement officials want to get on, they look at it as a cart blanch. IMHO Paul "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... May be, but I have yet to notice any difference in my life. But then, I'm not a criminal. SV "Paul Revere" wrote A number of rights have been systematically violated in the name of the "war on drugs" but because the "war on terror" scares more people, public support for systematic violations of rights has more popular support. |
