We're the Only Ones Concocting Enough

And these lying sons of bitches aren't in jail because...? [More]

A tangentially-related personal story comes to mind:

Elder feral son Uday got a speeding ticket the other week, which he doesn't think he was doing, at least not much, but he's not going to contest it. It took three SUVs to handle the stop, because who doesn't want to go home at the end of their shift? He, of course, passed the intoxication test with flying colors-- despite being forced out of his car in single-digit temperatures to perform on demand when a simple conversation would have shown he was in no way impaired. When he declined to accept their "offer" to search his car, they kept him out in the cold and brought in a drug dog, which, of course, "signalled" that a warrantless search was in order. It, of course, resulted in nothing being found. When asked why, the supervising highwayman asserted "reasonable suspicion," which I guess is catch-all code for hidden ways to condition a dog to bark that inflict "established protocol."

Thanks for being out there securing the blessings of Liberty, "community heroes"!
