I think anyone who objects to their house being searched by cops looking for terrorists

72. I've already said I would be happy to cooperate if the laws were rational

You have not disagreed with me that we have irrational laws that have ruined millions of lives but that seems to be an issue you are loathe to deal with.

We aren't talking about Boston now, this OP was about a general principle and I'm stating a general principle.

The way the laws are now, if you run afoul of law enforcement they can set you up for a long prison term with ridiculous ease, everyone knows it happens. If you give permission for them to enter your property then they can plant a bag of cocaine or crack or meth or whatever (which you know they have access to) and it is admissible as evidence. If you don't give permission that planted bag would probably not be admissible.

As I said, my daughter ended up with a drug conviction on her record because she made some cops angry the night of her 17th birthday because she's quite outspoken and called them out on some bullshit they were doing to one of her friends. She never had any drugs, never was arrested for drugs, never arraigned for drugs and never convicted of a drug crime but when she went to get a concealed carry permit when she was about 23 she was denied because a conviction was on her record in the electronic database.

If she hadn't happened to marry the son of the #2 man in the local Sheriff's department in the meantime I don't think it would ever have come off her record because it took everything her father in law could do pulling every string available to a powerful and well connected high ranking police officer to get to the bottom of what happened. We certainly didn't have the resources to help her with something like that.
