Warning...........Narcotics check point ahead!

The "slippery slope" is a fallacy that completely ignores the effects of a conscious decision to embrace responsible choice.

 

When I was 18 I got hassled by cops everyday, they were very young themselves 25-30's and trying to f*ck all the young girls I was dating. A few of them got caught and are no longer LEO's, one of the worst is running for sheriff & looks like will win may have already I don't get down there much anymore. He was so bad he got a nickname for the what the girls had to do to get out of an arrest(see below).

My point is believing that a LEO would never abuse his power is just as ignorant as thinking they all do, the world is not that black/white, many shades of gray. I was searched many times and never asked for permission or to sign any waiver, one time I got brave and asked why I got pulled over after a pause and a big grin officer Rob stated "shifting erratically". I know that most cops are good guys, but like all people some are total d*ck heads.

********* BLOW JOB ROB FOR SHERIFF**********

 

Sounds like your human an capable of making mistakes which could then violate some ones rights. That a lot of power for one person to wield on a hunch.

 

Smart Police

 

Well said & very true, business as usual isn't getting the job done.

 

Thanks hippie... I needed a good laugh... One day when you grow up and move out of your mom's basement, you'll understand why.

 

If you think that these are set up to stop the casual weed smoker then you are wrong. They are after bigger and better things. Like I've said before, I've been doing this in Houston for almost 16 years. Am I looking for small amounts of weed? Heck no, but if I come across is I am going to do my job.

You say this is ineffective. I say otherwise. I've been part of THOUSANDS of narcotics arrests, focusing primarily on cocaine....but coming across my fair share of marijuana. In addition to arresting drug dealers/smugglers, I've arrested police officers, teachers, school bus drivers, tons of truck drivers, doctors and nurses....many who have lost their jobs/license. Ineffective would be to let them continue to use their drugs with no consequences and continue to patrol our streets, teach our kids, drive 18 wheelers, and take care of us or our loved ones.

That's not even mentioning the hundreds of thousands of dollars I've seized just this year alone, vehicles I've seized, guns I've confiscated, fugitives caught, and narcotics seized. Ineffective....don't think so

 

Actually I'm married, a college graduate, gainfully employed, a homeowner and taxpayer who gives back to my community through volunteer service. So much for your antiquated stereotypes.
