Connecticut to Confiscate

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

every single one that I know of has already said they will never follow those orders and will turn in their badge instead.

Most of them are lying to you.

I can tell you this. Of course many in LE will comply, many will comply begrudgingly. Many still will not. One emboldens the other. It is a personal matter, and every man will make his choice, and as more make the choice they know is right more will join. The snowball becomes the avalanche.

I'd expect most half-heartedly comply. If told to go door to door, how many are going to have the stomach to search when the owner says "I have nothing"?
There will be some who enthusiastically bust folks, and some who look the other way. I'd think almost all would rather do real policing, though.

What if they were been threatened to lost their job?

What if they were been threatened to lost their job?

Some people have principals and integrity, some don't.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Few people have principle and integrity, most don't.

Fixed!

What if they were been threatened to lost their job?

You are either a cop (or soldier, etc.) or one of the little people. One is armed to the teeth with huge resources and the other is on his own. Move along, nothing to see here.

Police hear "I've got nothing," and "It wasn't me," and "That's not mine," all day, every day so it isn't likely to make a difference.

"Hey, I looked. Found nothing. What do you want from me?"

But that's after they've already found something.

They'll operate with the idea, divide and conquer. One at a time, sporadically to get the rest to roll over on their rights. Re-examine Ruby Ridge and Mt Carmel in Waco and what unfolded there. The feds ran a good smear campaign against Koresh. With Weaver, I don't think they were able to pull that off at the time of the stand off. IIRC, wasn't there a growing local presence where they were staging during the standoff, making the feds growingly uncomfortable? Both cases, the feds ultimate goal was to just kill them all off to cover up any mishandling IMO. One could speculate that the locals may have pushed the feds to negotiate and resolve the matter peacefully. Either way, it was a federal agent, a cop, that had no issue with killing an unarmed mother holding a baby, and his partner said he would have done the same.

I think some of your conclusions are pretty bold there street...

Back on point, I researched my own question: CT does have it's own "database" via the "Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection". However in my brief search, I did not find how long the state had been collecting data ( I seen 1993 mentioned somewhere).

Which leads me to another question: how much data does the CBI collect?

Remember, those background checks are destroyed after approval or denial, right?
