Little Pig, Little Pig, Let Me Come In

Police also plan to ask home owners at times for consent to search their homes without a probable-cause warrant, District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham said Monday.
Or I'll huff, and I'll puff and I'll blow your door in, and you with it.

  1. And when the homeowner declines permission, do the police say Thanks anyway? Or do they get a no-knock warrant served on them later that night?

  2. Sure sounds like probable cause to me, Anon. After all, what does an honest person have to hide? :)

  3. What the hell, David?!?

    Oh, wait a sec...

    Ah, yes. My tongue-in-cheek-o-meter is working now.

  4. Wonder if they will change their tune if enough of us enforce our Rights, as is Constitutionally provided? First utilize the First, that failing; utilize the Second....

  5. > "If we go to a house, we're going to ask the owner of the house if they will consent to a search for illegal weapons," Abraham said at a news conference.

    "I don't consent to a search for anything," said the owner of the house, who knew the correct reply. (And BTW: nice try at tricking the owner into granting your premise that there are 'illegal' weapons on the property, to say nothing of the red-herring premise that there are 'illegal' weapons; but no sale.)

    > First utilize the First, that failing; utilize the Second....

    In this instance, don't you mean "First utilize the Fourth"?
