police state
n.
A state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the people, especially by means of a secret police force.
Lets see,
Federal Agents can come in to our residence/business and look around without a warrant (sneak and peek).
A coffee can gives some officers PC to search a vehicle.
We have sobriety check points where people are herded like cattle to check papers and to fish for anyone guilty of a crime, the check point allows LEO's to get around doing their job of obtaining PC and actually investigating.
To buy cold medicine you have to give your name, address and reason. The govt will keep track of it.
If you dont comlpy with an officers orders, even if you do so without violence, some officers may use a taser on you, as compliance.
The can detain you on a vehicle stop, get a dog to sniff around your car.
Then can pull you over, pull you out of a vehicle, hold you for several hours, all because you were driving wearing a combat helmet.
Defacto Gun regristration with the 4473 (remember the DC sniper case)
Officer Safety trumps citizens safety.
Many, many more on the list, way to many to put down, but now, they can seize your property. I bet some of our more zealous LEO's are at this minute, learing and getting licensed to drive a bull dozer. One of the basic ideals of our country is property rights. Now that is gone. This ruling SHOULD be the straw that broke the camels back, but I doubt it will wake anyone up.
But hey, we are not a Police State, Not even close......Right
