HUH??

its been my experience the police are good. i love how when i got fingerprinted for my ccw the lady printing me explained how criminals and sex offenders get the edges of their hands printed as well so peeping toms and harassment letter writers get caught too. if the police are kicking in your door chances are you probably did something wrong. if they are "off by one house number" maybe you should clearly label your door!!! this nanny state nonsense is just that nonsense, look at our revolving door legal system, if there is the slightest chance you are innocent, even partially you will probably get off. if you do lose your right to own a weapon, because you did something stupid like cut down a barrel, or made a machine gun seems to me you are not the type who should have guns to start with.
 
You can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride.

If you are accused of a crime, innocent or not you're gonna pay financially.

Our revolving door legal system has more people locked up per capita than any other country in the world. Most of them are for non violent crimes involving drugs.
 
Not even 12 hours have passed yet, but post a followup if and when you can, probably in a fresh thread if this one gets locked.
 
I for one am just glad it would seem no one was injured. Sorry as well that your property value may diminish due to a "law enforcement operation" taking place in your neighborhood. As far as some people jumping to conclusions for or against the police, I would suggest waiting till we know more of the reasons for the raid.
 
It seems that any time you read about a drug raid on a forum you get cries for drug legalization with them citing that the war is lost and a joke. Says who? Why do you who say so assume it's a given? I personally think some drug laws are out of perspective but I don't want legalization across the board. I don't see good examples where it's been made so. How do you guys know what it would be like if there were no war on drugs anyway?
 
I just got off the phone with my friend who is on the Drug Enforcement team. It was NOT them that hit his house last night but the actuall SWAT team. In fact he knew nothing about it untill I called him this morning.

One of the other Neighbors has heard that Meth was being sold there. But that is just rumor as of right now.
 
Bashing police is the 2nd most popular game on THR. It is annoying. Your neighbor might have had nukes he was getting ready to drive into every town in America and people would be talking about how the police are stepping over the line and the prosecuter hates guns.

Or he might have had a few ounces of pot. That is often considered a valid reason to send the SWAT team (or whatever acronym it goes by in a specific jurisdiction) crashing through someone's door these days.

Dude, have you not realized that every time you show up in a thread and try to take it over & turn it into some anti government soapbox it gets locked?

If you want to ----- about the government start your own thread.

How should we have responded to the OP? Should we have merely nodded in solemn approval of law-enforcement actions, no matter what the law is? "Armed men kicked down your neighbor's door? Great! Because they were the police, and therefore, it must have been justified?" Absurd as it sounds, that is exactly how a lot of people think and live, even if they deny it up front.

I don't care who took an oath to uphold what law. "Following orders" justifies nothing. If I took an oath to smoke crack every day, I would not be bound by it. No one is bound to uphold an immoral oath.

I said nothing against the government or police. I spoke against criminals posing as government officials and policemen.

If I said that every priest and bishop who was involved in the child sex abuse scandal should have been hung and/or thrown in prison until the end of the world, would you say I was anti-priest or bishop, or that I was "bashing" priests and bishops?

that would be way too crazy with drug addicts every where. but the decriminalization of marijuana would serve greater good and free up alot of government money to HELP those with more serious drug addictions.(meth for example) SORRY AGAIN this has nothing to do with what the forum is about but honestly i do not believe they woudl send the SWAT after a little(or alot) of pot. locals are fine for that. meth is the probable cause if thats the drug prevalent in that area. and might i also add if you neighbor is a meth dealer. get out of the neighborhood. meth dealers are mostly users(from what i heard ct has no meth problems [so far-lets cross our fingers and say our prayers]) and meth is nothing good look up how quickly is DRASTICALLY changes a user. ANYONE doing/selling/involving in it would not be my neighbor. point blank.
 
Anytime drugs are bieng dispensed regaurdless of type, where children are involved, the local athorities have an obligation to intervene, by whatever means necessary. Seems like most here missed the part about the children being in the home
 
What a furball!

Azizza I hope it doesn't turn out to be some sort of kitten fighting ring or child-run meth lab, but it doesn't sound like that would be it. Really curious about why that would happen, please post when you know more|!
 
My interest is peaked for more information... followup would be great when the facts are in.
 
I personally think that the only two ways to significantly impact drugs is to either turn all of South America into a desert and start locking dealers of serious drugs (not weed) up for at least 20 years at a time instead of being nice to them. But of course, turning SA into a desert and getting rid of drug dealers would piss off the dems since they would lose a good chunk of their voting base :p

Then every pharmacist who gives out Vicodin, Oxycontin, Morphine, etc should have their doors kicked in.

Now if the OP comes back with proof it was a meth or heroin lab, I would agree that needs to be stopped. BUT generalizing "drugs being dispensed regardless of type"... well there's a lot of Rx drugs that ruin lives faster than pot.
 
I'm sorry, but since when did pot ruin lives? I mean, of course an idiot can get baked out of his mind and try driving and hit someone, resulting in jail time. But since when did pot make you go cold to the world and rape and ruin the lives of others, sell all your stuff and make you end up homeless and broke, etc. etc. just so you can score a five-minute fix? Or better yet, when has pot really interfered with someone's ability to hold down life responsibility? I personally can't think of any CNN special or case where something worse than being boring and greasy-looking ever occurred to a serious pothead.
 
if they are "off by one house number" maybe you should clearly label your door!!!

That might work if they have the correct address with them. Many examples I've seen are when THEY were given the wrong address, which could be yours.
Woodybrighton that sounds positively disgusting! Do they do these types of raids across the pond?
