Lucky us! 4th amendment just got weaker.

WTF does that have to do with my question?

Just because it hasn't happened to me yet doesn't mean I should be foolish enough to think it won't. That same logic can be applied to wearing a helmet or even a seatbelt. I have never been injured in a wreck, yet I'm required by law to do so. So, does that mean it won't happen and I shouldn't be worried about it?

I haven't had my door kicked in, but if they are allowed to do it and get away with it, then that increases the likelyhood that it may happen.

Really?

I'm pretty certain the chances of police kicking in my door are less than me getting hit by lightning. But then I don't do dope, nor do I allow anyone into my home that does.

But, if I had a bike, you can be damn sure I'd wear a helmet because I've cleaned up enough motorcycle wrecks that weren't the bike rider's fault.


This is just the same old typical DFW FTP kneejerk reaction.

I had a pig drag us out of the car one night after 12hrs on the road coming home from FL. He felt that since we were heading into TX from FL that we were transporting drugs from Cuba. He kept telling me that since the bolts on my engine had been removed/replaced (I had done a cam swap and a shit ton of other stuff to it) that I was hiding drugs in my intake. I told him he was full of shit and his oinker buddies came along and pulled everything out of my trunk and set it on the decklid to dig though it. Scratched the shit out of my truck/roof and then threw everything back in the trunk and fucked with us some more.

The dumbasses passed over the gallon of white lightning in the jug and the three fingers we had in a backpack. But they sure were set on me having drugs in my intake. Kept threatening to take it to the yard and tear the engine down.

Like I'm always saying, one of the worst problems with society is lack of respect for others. I bet if that cop had respected you and not tore your shit up, then you woudln't have had such a problem with him. Instead, he gave other cops a bad name.

Doesn't matter if you do or don't. What matters is if the Mansfield PD decides that you do. Thus the point of this thread. You can put your faith in the infallibility of your fellow cops, that is your decision. I like to put mine in the letter of the law that governs their actions.

Everything you said (except for the last sentence) is true. Of course the odds are greater that you would get into a bike wreck. That still doesn't make it any better if a cop bust down my door. You don't have to be doing dope or anything illegal to have them bust in. With the new law, my grandma could be sitting there watching TV and they could bust her door in and beat her ass and there wouldn't a damn thing she could do about it. I don't want to increase that risk.

My parents neighbor didn't do dope and was about as upright as they come, I guess you statistics don't apply to him?

[SS Junk]

Enter into my residence unannounced and bad things are going to happen for you.

Come busting in my home uninvited and see how far that gets you.

I think if you were to make the decision to draw down on a bunch of cops who already have the jump on you, odds are you two would probably die.

Wow. Matt, I can't tell if it's ignorance, or your blind allegiance to LEO that's shining through. One thing is for sure, your comments in here rank right up there with some of the most retarded comments I've read on this board.

If you had any hair, it would be smoldering right now from the use of a big word.

Putting my "faith in the infallibility of your fellow cops" and maitaining a wide berth from criminal activity are two vastly different things. I don't put anything past anyone, but I don't give anyone a reason to suspect that I'm doing something wrong, or have something to hide.

And?

[mstng86]

Drama FTW.

So lets say his grandma is chilaxing in her living room watching her Wheel of Fortune eating her prunes and the cops bust into the wrong house. Granny falls over and dies from a heartache from the whole situation.

Were they still justified going in?

I can see alot of lawsuits coming out of this.
