That mentality is from the 1950's. That argument does not work today we are smarter then that. I assume then you must subscribe with the notions that "If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear", so let the police come into your home with out warrant and have a look around anytime they want.

Then there is the other one..."The police charge you with a crime so you must be guilty!" "Why would they charge you if you were innocent, so by reason you must be guilty". "The police don't pick on innocent people."

Police don't break the law they enforce it! (Donā??t read about those guards at that prison who shot it out with the feds as they came to bust them the other day. Just because they trades sex with inmates for favors and drugs it must have been ok because they are criminals and they have no rights. Plus "Police don't break the law they enforce it!"

Ya that was the mentality in the 50's & early 60's and was bullshit back then and is still bullshit today. (funny we were at war then too)

FoM from cannabisnews.com said this to me about the exact same subject yesterday.

"I'll tell you a little story. Once upon a time we had this beautiful country that most people loved. It wasn't perfect but it still made people feel proud. Fast forward to now and it's all gone. No one loves what this country has become and they wonder how it happened. Slowly and methodically those in power made laws to control us like countries that we use to go to war with for being oppressive. We have become the enemy."

Sorry Pothead4204life but that argument is still full of shit!! Now you go ahead and vote for Bush's policy again. Then you can sleep at night and feel safe (until they put on their list, but hey The police don't pick on innocent people because Police don't break the law they enforce it)
