Like I've said many times, Johnny Ashcroft won't be happy until there's a camera in every bedroom. Law enforecment has changed drastically over the past decade or so. There is more intrusion of government in everyone's lives. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, police are not solving homocides unless they are high profile, don't care to do any real investigating of robberies and theft (Sorry, sir. We'll take a report so you can call your insurance company)and couldn't care less about people writing bad checks (now a civil matter).

Yeah, this has all happened over the last decade or so that the attention has been diverted from criminals to the average law abiding citizen.

I'll give you another example. An illegal car dealer (curbstoner), if convicted in the sate of Virginia for operating a business without a license will get a $250 fine. A leagl dealer who may not have every little piece of paper, if caught, will get a $2500 fine and a 30 day suspension of his license. Hmmmmmm? Okay, may I have drifted away from the thread a tad but it is important in this discussion that law enforcment is being turned increasingly toward leagl activity rather than the opposite. And I have a lot of friend who are police officers and they'll say the same thing (off the record, of course...)

Awww, nevermind, dang it....
