So the police called me the other day....

I got a call from the something something county and state police organization or whatever, I can't remember what he called themselves. He asked if I wanted to participate in a stop crime program by placing a sticker on both my vehicle and house which basically says "You can search my home or vehicle at any time reguardless of probable cause because I am a law abiding citizen and I have nothing to hide." He went on to explain that people who participate are less likely to be pulled over because they are recognized as a participant in the statewide crime prevention program.
Anyways, a few months ago I watched a "Law and Order" or one of the cop/lawyer shows on TV and they had such a case involving this same deal. The show had a teenager who was driving her fathers car which had one of these feel free to search stickers on it. She was pulled over and the cop went ahead and searched the vehicle just because the sticker said he could and found she had some marijuana stashed in the vehicle.
I told the guy on the phone that I like my rights just the way they are and I won't be participating in any such program which waives my right to privacy. I have nothing to hide, I don't do drugs and I don't molest little boys, but now for some reason I think Im probably on a watch list because I refused to participate.

Why start this program unless they want to search you in the first place? It's like putting you're peephole in backwards 'a la Kramer' to prove you trust the neighbors not to spy at you. I still don't understand what this program is doing other than seperating the non-participaters. What state is this?

tom leykus is this highly chauvenist radio personality...you'd fucking love him...but anywho...one of his bits is that chicks don't read the paper, don't pay attention to the news and don't give two shits about politics so long as it has nothing to do with a ban on cosmetics.
your description of your wife seemed to feed into his stereotype, with all due respect to the misses, of course.

The police now carry a few dozen of those bumper stickers to attach to your car if you don't already have one. Isn't that thoughtful?

"whether you participate or not they are gonna screw you "
Sad but true. That tells you somthing about the poeple doesnt it. Whats worse, a government that does such things, or a people htat go with and takeit up the ass?
Both sides are to blame. The states have really "slack" gun laws (compared to here at least) so when it comes time to take back your freedom its gonna be a hellova brawl! 
personally if it were me where i lived i would protest it. that is just plain and simple B-U-L-L S-H-I-T

I know who he is, I just didn't know what the 1-0 meant. And no, I don't like him, I couldn't get past the whining.

actually she's overly nice and will listen to what people have to say longer than she really needs to. Her father raised her as a libertarian/conservative.
