    They don't bother me much.

    There are a great many alarmists out there that would protect a criminal
and kill an innocent man/woman in their fervor over "civil liberties" and
"human rights".

    There are a great number of criminals that stand behind the civil
liberties, human rights shield just after they have violated yours.

    I don't drink and drive or do drugs and my car is up to snuff.  The
whole crying foul of civil liberties is kind of odd.  Sure we can and do go
and do whatever we want in this country but there are limits.  The police
can and will stop and search you at any time whether or not you like it.

     There are carefully detailed laws about search and seizure and probable
cause (let me dig out my copy of the criminal code again).  I doubt anyone
here is an expert on the subject but if you have some details to share about
this (from the criminal code specifically) please share them.  If the police
do indeed run afoul of the law then slam them.  Don't slam them for doing
their job.

    Where would you rather see them, at Tim Horton's or a roadblock?

    If the roadblock gets the guy that is just about to wipe me and my
family off the face of the earth just because he has one or two too many, so
be it.  I have seen some pretty interesting things on the roadways here and
think there should be a few more roadblocks of some sort (maybe not the
"super" ones) to get rid of some of the junk on the roads.

    Nice, doggy, here's a Scooby snack.
