I'm thinking of putting a small sign by my front doorbell reading 'Come Back With A Warrant' because I don't like the local small town cops where I retired either. They've tried to take liberties but I told the police chief to stay off my property unless he's in hot pursuit and/or has a warrant. If he 'just wants to talk about something' he can damn well use the telephone. They may be rubes, but they have heard of the ACLU before and I've told them I report.

BTW, do you guys know the ACLU has a phone app available on their website where info from your camera goes straight to their secure servers, and the cops can't destroy evidence by trashing your phone or anything else.
