Lucky us! 4th amendment just got weaker.

The dumbasses passed over the gallon of white lightning in the jug and the three fingers we had in a backpack. But they sure were set on me having drugs in my intake. Kept threatening to take it to the yard and tear the engine down.

Disregard my previous question.

I'm not about to second guess the way they do things in Kentucky, but it would appear that they were lucky in getting a large amount of coke off the street and a person in jail.

And we all know the ends justify the means.

[03trubluGT]

The law shouldn't be operating on luck as it's primary tool.



It's a metaphor - The right to unlawful search and seizure is the "helmet" and not having your door kicked by the cop with his fingers crossed that he'll find something is the "motorcycle accident".

Irrelevancy at its best.


Saying you have the same chances of the cops kicking in your door is the same as getting in a motorcycle accident is ludicrous. If you believe that it is, you have a serious mental deficiency, or you are a drug supporter.

Which is it?

Come busting in my home uninvited and see how far that gets you.

That said, I will never give anyone any reason to even think that would be necessary.

Enter into my residence unannounced and bad things are going to happen for you.

I've been searched for probable cause because the sack of shit cop said he smelled weed. In the end his excuse was that was the dryer sheets in my trunk must have been what made it smell like that. Bullshit.

I do have a problem with a cop ripping apart my car, while telling me not to watch. He sure as he'll didn't clean up the mess he made emptying the contents of every container I had into my car...backpack, glove box, etc. I had to stand on the side of the road freezing my ass off because some prick wanted to flex his power.

I had a pig drag us out of the car one night after 12hrs on the road coming home from FL. He felt that since we were heading into TX from FL that we were transporting drugs from Cuba. He kept telling me that since the bolts on my engine had been removed/replaced (I had done a cam swap and a shit ton of other stuff to it) that I was hiding drugs in my intake. I told him he was full of shit and his oinker buddies came along and pulled everything out of my trunk and set it on the decklid to dig though it. Scratched the shit out of my truck/roof and then threw everything back in the trunk and fucked with us some more.

WTF does that have to do with my question?

I've never been in a bad motorcycle wreck, yet I still wear a helmet.

In the case given in the original article, do you think the cops were in the right?

Following somebody for selling crack and, in their confusion, kicking in the door of somebody else who happened to be smoking pot. (The pound of coke is a lucky bi-product of their error.)

So, just out of curiosity, how many of you guys who are already saying FTP or that this will be abused have actually had your door kicked in by the Po-Po?

That's how they get you. None of us have been in this situation, but this little step is just one of many little steps that it takes to hide the big step that the gov't is taking towards removal of what little freedoms we have.

Happened to my parents neighbor about 7 years ago. Cops were chasing some guy, saw him run into a house and ended up almost shooting my neighbors dog and the neighbor. Then the city wouldn't pay for his damaged property. He wasn't the one being chased nor was the perp in his house.

This is why I have a counter sniper .308
