More disturbing signs of Amerika the Police State

[hurley842002]

I'm aware that you are talking about THIS video. I'm aware that they are strapping every person down in that jurisdiction.

AND...

Never mind, I'm done. Hope you're never a victim people.

What does us thinking it is excessive have to do with being a victim? What if I have been a victim?

Here is my issue....

Let's say I'm in Gwinnitt county visiting family. I crack a beer, take a couple sips, and uncle John says hey hurley, I just remembered we need propane for the grill. Alright let me run to the store (which I wouldn't do, but we are pretending).

I get half way there, and get pulled over because uncle John forgot to replace his left brake light. Officer smells alcohol and asks me to do a roadside, "I understand your position officer, however I've been advised by my attorney to not take a roadside"

Okay hurley, would you be willing to submit to a breathalyzer? "I've also been advised to not submit to a breathalyzer". Okay hurley, unfortunately I'm going to have to place you under arrest and take you to the station (miranda and all that good stuff).

Meanwhile back at the station..... Okay hurley, you have one last opportunity to submit to a breathalyzer, and then we will obtain a warrant for a blood draw. "I'm sorry but I will not submit to a breathalyzer".

Up to this point I've been extremely polite and cooperative, and actually well under the limit, but that doesn't matter, I get the same treatment as the guy kicking and screaming.

How much sense does that make? I don't want to hear officer safety either.

Now this is all hypothetical, I wouldn't put myself in that position to begin with, I'd make the Ol lady drive me lol.
