Want to know why intelligent CITIZENS dont like cops?

Not all LEO's are bad guys. However there are many bad apples in the bushel.

Anyone go through that 4th amendment infringing BS of a roadblock on Wade Green Rd last week? Seriously though, if any of you are LEO's, PLEASE send me a PM and explain to me how you guys go about doing roadblocks and not feel that you are removing peoples civil rights??

Are we in war time Iraq? What about traveling across the Gaza strip?? Maybe Nazi Germany?? A roadblock is a checkpoint, no matter how you look at it.
I am tired of going to the grocery store, only to be stopped at a roadblock and treated like a criminal. Walking around my car with a drug dog, running my name to check for warrants, "mind if we search your vehicle", etc. This, happening in a supposed "free state". Even while living in Chicago(awful as all the BS was), I NEVER saw/heard of a single roadblock.

Whats worse, it seemed like a damn training seminar. There were officers from jurisdictions all around the state at the road block. So apparantly its a good idea how to teach new officers to $#!+ on the 4th amendment protected rights of the citizenry.


Its situations like these that make Alaska look more and more appealing.

Sounds like u went thruogh a traffic enforcement network checkpoint. It's a multi agency thing to pool resources. Don't like it call your mayor, county comm. or congress man.

No, sorry I do not like having to be detained while going to the grocery store. I do not like law enforcement using things like these as a "show of force" to fear monger the citizenry. I do not like blatant infringments of our basic civil rights.
Its quite ridiculous that I remotely have to defend these ideas, especially on a pro 2nd forum that is based out of a "free state".

Your right. They would be drugged up and raped by the pot bellied man that runs the foster home they are to after CPS takes their children.

Cops are mostly used to generate funds so the corrupt politicians can get the dollars to fund the activities that get them reelected by the voters who benefited.

It’s law enforcement for profit and yes it is always about the money in the USA. If the Government didn’t waste 50% of every dollar it touched it would all be unnecessary.

I know a bunch of cops that are more pissed than I will ever be at scenes like that.
Sad though. I'd sue the **** out of them for stuff like that.

Problem with suing is that the actual officers who made the mistake don't actually pay for it, do they? The city or whatever makes a payment...with what money? Taxpayer money...so who really gets screwed there?

Untrue. There are ways to get at their personal assets.

Or should I say to get them to burn through their assets in court.
