Are you sure you want the Government providing your security?

I've been saying it for years; allow the US Government to provide personal security, take away rights and you invite abuse. Well here it is, now showing. If this is reported one wonders what is not reported.

This style of abuse will not stop until people demand rights to not be removed. Hey if you like having your pants pulled down in public, fine... enjoy. However you can bet if they ever do this to my wife i will sue them. However i wouldn't be caught dead on an airplane now days (because i don't want to face the abuse) so don't count on it being done to me any time soon. However i fear the police will start doing this in traffic stops, oh wait they already do... What was i thinking?

The US Government is just getting the American public used to the idea of no more rights. So get used to it or else.... right?

A spokesman said that out of 2 billion passengers screened nationwide since 9-11, there have been only 110,000 abuse complaints.

Really, would it of mattered that 1 million abuse complaints took place? No. I mean "only" 110,000 complaints, you know that number is like saying everyone in my neighborhood plus about 10,000 extras filed complaints. I mean after all that small of a number you know means nothing at all is wrong.... wow. The airlines are really wondering why they are losing so much money? Really? I know why the US Government wants control and knowledge of your travels, but the airlines? Oh what a sad day for America. I pray so hard for this country but i just don't see the people of this once great nation changing. They have kicked God out of almost everything and then turn around and ask why things are getting so bad. I'm sorry people of America you only have your self to blame. Maybe one should ask are we better off without God in our Country?

Americans, wake up before you lose all of your rights and freedoms. Oh wait, what is left to take? They track your money, taxes, security, rights, ownership, ah I'm just crazy our Government loves us. .. Right?

Cops: We don't need no stinkin' jurisdiction

This story really stinks. I hope the people there put an end to it and at some point the people might think about rights of driving vs state giving you the privilege to drive.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm from Texas and by our law here commercial vehicles have posted speed limits in white background with black lettering and the private automobiles operate under the law of "safe and reasonable" speed. That's the law, HOWEVER, that's not how the police and the courts here would have you believe. They do everything they can to lie to the Texans and tell us the posted limits are for everyone. However this is not the truth to anyone who has looked over Texas laws.

The problem I have here is if your doing 20mph over the "commercial" posted limit even if traffic is light and it's not unsafe they can and in many cases haul you to jail, label you "reckless" driver, etc. My problem is the police are by and large out of control here. I have seen so many cops parked in what i would call very dangerous places just to try and trap "speeders" based on the commercial speed limits. I totally agree with commercial speed limits, however private automobiles should never be required to operate at these speeds. The point here is any car can operate at speeds far quicker than any commercial eighteen wheeler. So why limit everyone?

I've heard many reasons for the limits and why Texas policemen get away with giving people speed tickets, I'm very sorry 10 mph over the commercial limit should not merit a ticket. All depends on the conditions of the road. However the police now are just working for the city to be a source to stuff pockets. But this story tells the hidden truth. ""We're stressing that revenue-producing is not the purpose here," he said." How about the police start to follow the law themselves and quit worrying about people doing 10-20 over. Then see it solves so many problems and we don't need the police state now do we?

The problem i mainly see now is that the cops are far more reckless in driving than most private automobiles. I see it all the time in the part of Texas i live. Just the other day i saw a car go from a light on a highway (60mph posted limit, why there is a light there i will never know) a mustang simply let off the clutch a little quick "barked" the tires and then drove off normal. Notice a cop sitting on the other side of the freeway and the cop (mind you traffic from the other direction just started off from the light) jumps across the other lanes into the middle area of the intersection crossed into our lanes, ran maybe 4 of us down making us all merge right then saw the mustang taking the exit, from the far left lane cut in front of all of us making the first car slam it's brakes all to pull over this mustang which never went over the "posted" speed limit. Come to find out after i saw the guy at the store who was pulled over, the cop gave him a warning and was talking "hot rods" with him. Mind you the cop was not in a car he was in a ford expedition safe driver... Yea Right...

...on to the second note, WHY in the hell is the police using huge SUVs? I mean when did we all become so rich with gas at $4 dollars we can all drive SUVs? I don't know about you but i traded in my gas drinker for a gas sipper. But these cops do not drive in ways to save gas it's gas peddle is floored everywhere. I see this all the time, whos paying for the gas, WE ARE!

Now don't get the wrong idea about me, i know some cops are good guys. I have a few of them as friends. Even one who quit the force because he thought they are doing wrong. Problem is the good cops are not the ones doing traffic most of the time.

However in the linked story they talk about how they want to crack down on speeders... To that i say "sure you do" liar. It's all about the pocket book when it comes to the police and the city.

People it's time you start joining your city meetings. It's time you start calling the mayor's office and start raising hell. The police are going nuts and only "we the people" are the ones with the power to put them back in check. All before the police state is complete.
