General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The REAL Police State = Russia [View all]It would be easy just to sit in our homes here in the USA and ask why aren't the police doing more to find perpetrators of crimes.
Switched? not exactly.
Cops have come knocking on my door in the past, and have asked to come inside for a look. I attribute this to the location where I live. I always oblige and allow their entry because # 1, I've nothing to hide, and do not harbor criminals.
You can claim roadblocks are illegal and violate your rights too, what do you do when you enter DUI checkpoints? Do you refuse to stop? if you stop, do you refuse to answer any questions?
Of course, I can refuse to allow cops to enter my home, and they'll go away with doubt that I told them the truth.
They always say hindsight is 20/20, perhaps our lawmakers should have a closer look at what they believe to be lawful and unlawful.
BTW, it wasn't until the 1970's that Chicago cops stopped chasing and stopping blacks on the streets, it took proof of people being stopped and searched for no reasons other than that the people being stopped were just black.
Basically, that's what Russian authorities are doing, seeking out Muslims.
