The REAL Police State = Russia

69. Wow.

You have nothing to hide so you don't mind if the authorities come in. Because you don't personally see the police randomly stopping blacks, just because they're black, you don't think there is a problem?

I'm going to make an assumption, a dangerous thing I know. Because based upon your Chicago example, and your assertion that it isn't happening anymore that you see, that the problem is solved. Because of that example, I'm forced to assume that you don't have one black friend who feels close enough to confide in you the truth. Because I have several, and each of them continues to experience random police stops. When you're out driving, and you see the police have someone pulled over, take a closer look. Two cops means that the occupant of the car is black. Three cops means the occupant of the car is black, and wanted to know in less than deferential tones why he was stopped.

I don't care if the cops doubt me. My rights are non-negotiable. The rights of every citizen can not be negotiable. Next time the cops come around, and ask to search your house, tell them no. See what happens. Because there is a 50% chance that your will be arrested for resisting. The police will say you became belligerent, abusive, and even swung at them. A lie told to justify the abuse is a common tactic of the police state BTW. They might even threaten you or your family, or those other lives in your household.

Here's an example. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024141704

Another one. Serving the warrant in the wrong town. They just picked a house owned by the Simpson's. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023753286

Because you personally have never been abused, at least not that you are aware of, you believe the abuse doesn't happen. Earlier I said I admired your naiveté. I put the wrong label on it. That isn't naiveté. That is a result of you not wanting to know.

Oh, as for what I do when I come across a DUI checkpoint? I update the location on the Trapster app on my phone, giving those that would be swept up by the police, the chance to avoid the roadblock.
