This Is A Scary Development

[wombat2u2004]

In our area the police run & hide so they don't have to deal with a volatile situation.

Ahhh...such a lawless land Iowa is.

Kansas isn't much better!!! About a year ago two police officers came a knocking on my door. Seems they had a complaint about a domestic distrubance. ( I find this totally side splitting funny since I can't even get them to make people stop playing loud music until after 11 pm).

No one here but me and my cats. Ok, I probably did yell and Chip and Chuck for swinging on the blinds but that was it.

Still they wanted to come in for a look see. So I let them. No one home except me and the cats just like I told them.

I ran into the lady officer at the post office a few days later and asked if they ever found out who they were looking for. Seems someone gave them the wrong address. The person who called in actually lived several blocks over and told them she was new to town and got the street name wrong. She was calling in about her neighbors.

Oh, come on!!! If you don't even know the name of the street you live on, give up and move back in with your parents. You need a keeper!!!! sheesh

Liz - what is going on with Indiana??? Is it trying to become the Arizona of the Upper Midwest???

Indianapolis has long been on the short list of places to which my husband and I would consider relocation.

But there have been a few "turns to the right" that have been concerning - -- between this and the decision to stop any funding of Planned Parenthood (I have an idea to reduce the welfare rolls - significantly diminish the abililty of poor women and teenagers to get family planning and reproductive healthcare!!!) maybe we need to rethink our home state.

I don't know what those three Justices were smoking, but I'm pretty
sure this judgement won't stand. The Federal Appeals Court would strike
it down. This goes directly against the 4th Amendment.

Why shoud the burden fall on the innocent citizen to hire a lawyer
and take his case to court to seek redress for an illigal entry? Sounds like
the beginnings of a police state to me.

The court is receiving threats so they've beefed up security.
No surprise here.

Of course, you could move to Texas. There you can shoot anyone on your front lawn, if you say you were in fear of your life.

On the other hand, days like today, make me glad that teachers cannot carry weapons. It's not the students that would have to worry though.
