Those laws are the result of peoples constant demand for specific objectivity.
I'm assuming your post was in reference to this, Bob? We have thousands of laws because people are always finding loopholes in the Ten Commandments.
That's a very interesting and perceptive comment.
The reason I said this is it brought to mind a quote from Cecil De Mille (the movie director) who said, "originally we had the Ten Commandments, now we have 32 million laws" (paraphrase mine), the point of which was because of human nature, there is no number that will ever be enough.
And liberals on their march toward their human Valhalla, can't take a single breath without conceiving of another rule, law, or regulation, to of course, herd the masses toward perfection, and in the process kill their freedoms by a thousand cuts.
I guess whining and bitching are the only job many here know how to do. But most do a pretty sorry job. Amateurs, I say.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
Coming from an LEO perspective, I have two things to say.
1. Bravo. Keep it up. Do not let out of control "leaders" get away with ordering borderline legal, or flat out illegal, enforcement tactics. Do not operate in your daily life in fear of cops. Rather, know your rights (the real ones) and know your laws.
2. Be careful. Being right can so easily and quickly become being wrong. Again, know your actual rights and all laws regarding a situation. If you're not sure, don't push it. Fight it later in court with a lawsuit if you have to. But the line between rightous exercising of your rights and violating a law is VERY thin and blurred. Don't forget to know local laws and ordinances. It doesn't take much to be wrong and not know it.
Furthermore, being polite goes a long ways. Indignation will often lead a less than ethical cop to dig for an obscure violation and have you smack dab in the middle of that blurred line.
Try to remember that less than ethical cops make up a small percentage of overall cops. But that small percentage can and will ruin your day.
There may come a day when violent action is necessary to secure our freedom. It ain't here yet. This rather effective but peaceful resistance is the best route at present. And rest assured it is being noticed across the nation. It is and will continue to have an affect. But you gotta do it right.
I always tell my trainees that we are all one stupid decision away from wearing orange instead of blue. It applies to all of us. One stupid decision, and you're a bad guy instead of a free American exercising his rights. Dont make that stupid decision.
There are a ton of crappy laws. But if you know them, you can use them to your advantage. We can gain back our freedom. And I promise you, the average cop would prefer it. But it doesn't come from the edge of a sword just yet. It comes from behind an educated smile.
This.

left or right, conservative or liberal, with human beings, it's all about control. Always has been.
You don't vote? Methinks you mean "we" elect the people that make laws.. Well, "we've" tried that - and to date it's done us bupkis; especially considering that famous 'conservative landslide' back in '10...
