happy to open my doors to the police.

Shouldn't be a problem if there is actual evidence to necessitate a search. If there isn't such evidence, why is my house being searched?

I don't often agree with you but on this point I do. n/t Cleita Apr 2013 #1

How Democratic of you n/t Fumesucker Apr 2013 #3

Yeah, I recall that being in the Dem platform for 2012 Dreamer Tatum Apr 2013 #6

How about if it was just a run of the mill murderer? Fumesucker Apr 2013 #8

"Oh, Fumesucker, pipe down. It's not like your loved one Dreamer Tatum Apr 2013 #9

What would you say? "No, I don't care about run of the mill murderers being caught"? muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #13

I could spit from one end of my home to the other longways if I really tried hard Fumesucker Apr 2013 #19

So you're saying you would cooperate with them muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #24

I would not let them in my home, if that's what you are asking Fumesucker Apr 2013 #37

I'm establishing that you are willing to cooperate in the interest of the community muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #41

There are a great many laws in this country that aren't remotely rational Fumesucker Apr 2013 #52

Is it reasonable to say you prefer this libertarian stance to the Democratic one, then? muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #60

As I said, I'll be happy to allow a search once the laws are made rational Fumesucker Apr 2013 #61

You could try paying attention to the news muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #64

I pay zero attention to local news, don't even have a TV, no radio, don't read the paper Fumesucker Apr 2013 #66

It's a question of if you think freeloading is fine, I guess muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #68

I've already said I would be happy to cooperate if the laws were rational Fumesucker Apr 2013 #72

Your objectiuon to 'irrational' laws seems beside the point muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #75

They can't if you don't give permission now Fumesucker Apr 2013 #79

And they would know you were doing that... gcomeau Apr 2013 #34

I would not consent to them searching my home, period Fumesucker Apr 2013 #38

And then most likely they would search it anyway ..... oldhippie Apr 2013 #54

Yeah, I'm sure they would Fumesucker Apr 2013 #56

Back when the Redcoats were searching Boston door to door Triloon Apr 2013 #16

Are you comparing two terrorists to Boston patriots of the late 1770's? nt boston bean Apr 2013 #18

They were "terrorists" according to the legally constituted authority at the time Fumesucker Apr 2013 #20

And??? I don't think I like the implication? These two terrorists boston bean Apr 2013 #23

Do you disagree with what I said about the legally constituted authority at the time or not? Fumesucker Apr 2013 #59

What the British were doing was actually illlegal. Ikonoklast Apr 2013 #80
