There are still some good people in law enforcement, don't get me wrong, but we're in trouble. Big trouble. Refer to the following Marjorie Cohn commondreams http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/03/04 Perhaps someone could post the San Fran Chronicle link to the story: "Rule by law of rule by fear" -- or something like that.

Police want to be able to tell people what they can and cannot do, but as soon as citizens fight back and attempt to monitor those sworn to protect and serve them, those very same police officers cry foul.

I was amused that in Dallas a Judge dismissed charges against an "exotic dancer after she took a polygraph and passed" it centered around when consent to search her home occurred.

I am talking about the serious crime of blatantly sitting in the public park. How could any educated person actually believe that they have the right to sit in a public park? Preposterous! The next thing you know is that people might actually use the street to ride their cars on it! Something must be done about that camera carrying vagrant!
