Gee, imagine that, the Attorney General wanting to enforce crimes.
What *is* this world coming to?
We still live in a country that has laws, and we *should* expect the LEAs to enforce all laws that are on the books.
If you have a problem with the laws, it's not the LEAs fault, it's the legislature and the Executive branch.
Actually they do share some of the blame. They are swore oaths to support the constitution and the ideals of the this country. Which in many cases is clearly not the intent or result of their actions. They are actively looking for methods to circumvent current laws that put a bridle on their activity. LEA's don's say "OK, we have a 4th so we have to have probable cause first", it's like "OK, we have a 4th. We need to find a way around it." In many cases it is the LEA's themselves which ask for these laws or a law that gives them the latitutude to get around other restraints. And LEA's are a part of the 'executive branch'. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
