Part 2 of What Is Up With The Law These Days.

Well, as bad as I wanted all this to be untrue about the poor guy in the drug store parking lot, the newspaper confirmed it was true.

So it is true. The working man was arrested for manufacturing methamphetamine in the parking lot of a pharmacy. This is absolutely unbelievable. The guy goes to work and makes his money, he then get's off from work and stops at the pharmacy. Pretty routine so far. Then he goes in and buys some perfectly legal items, pays the cashier with his hard earned dollars, she calls the police on him and all of a sudden this poor dude's sackful of legal items amazingly turns into a meth lab in the parking lot before he can get to his car with it.

I have got to say that this is utterly ridiculous. Since when can this be even a little bit right. How can it be one thing inside the store and then mysteriously turn into something else outside the store? I can not fathom how this can be. I am sorry but I do not understand how this can happen. I could possibly understand the right to arrest the guy if he plainly stated that he was planning on firing up a meth lab with these items. But for the police to assume that is what will happen and then arrest him for it is absolutely absurd.

This can only mean one thing. No one is safe from the powers of police. If all they have to do is think you are about to commit a crime to arrest you for that crime, even though you have done nothing wrong, then it is probably best for everyone never to leave their house, ever again. But on the other hand, you are probably still not safe because what would stop them from busting in your house anyway and hauling you off to jail because they think you might do something wrong later.

If this is what our justice system is made of then we are all in for the ride of a lifetime. A bumpy one. I always considered law enforcement was out there to protect and serve. Protect and serve who? Possibly the courts? Could it be that the police protects the courts and in return the courts protect the police. What is that? Hogwash is what I say it is. It is no wonder that the jails across the country are bulging at the sides with more inmates than what they are designed to hold. Half of them were probably arrested for something they haven't done yet.

Somebody needs to address this issue and put a stop to this gestapo type of law enforcement before it gets so out of hand that no one is safe from the ones sworn to protect us.

Just to show how the police can do what they want without consequences. A friend of mine recently was stopped by police at night. This is how it all went down. He was going one direction on a two lane highway, going under the speed limit, when he meets a police car going the opposite direction. The police hit their brakes, turns around in the middle of the road and pulls him over. Now get this, the officer tells him that the reason he pulled him over was because his tag was expired. You have got to be kidding me.
How can anyone do that? They can't. There is absolutely no way that that can happen and I don't care who it is or how good he thinks he is. I could prove it ten times in a row, with ten different vehicles having ten different tag numbers.

If his tag had not been expired I would be afraid to hear what the reason would have been for pulling him over then. So I will leave that as is for everyone to ponder on for a while. I will say this much though, I just wish my eyesight was that good.
