The potential of abuse..."Community Caretaking"

[Bat-S-Crazy]

Coming up next month the Supreme Court is set to review the rules concerning the 4th Amendment. This could be problematic as it would allow for warrantless searches in a person's abode/private property depending on the Supreme Court's findings. Apparently, it's based on a minor previous ruling concerning "Community caretaking". Anyone else heard of this? If this goes badly it puts us in the category much like France, Spain and Brittain have where all the "law enforcement' basically has to do is "suspect someone of being criminal and then can proceed without a warrant... Un freaking believable... I guess we'll see how good the Trump appointees really are or are not...

It has to do with property forfeiture (ie: confiscation) resulting from warrantless searches if the search/discovery was conducted under some pretense other than looking for evidence... community caretaking.
If a copper is up in a tree saving your cat and sees what he thinks is an illegal weapon through your window, 4A goes right out that same window.
It all seems like a bunch of word-salad McGhurkin mumbo jumbo but is a key element of red flag laws and future confiscations efforts.
It only has bad ramifications for us... it is not for the citizens, it's for The State. You know, just like the founders envisioned.

What the elitist A-holes (and the dumb arses that keep voting them in) keep trying to obfuscate is that THE PEOPLE are the state, not the "government", and the BOR are to ensure we remain in a "free state"... as in being in a state (aka status) of freedom.


Choosing "safety" over freedom ensures captivity and slavery.

Choosing "safety" over freedom ensures captivity and slavery.

Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison, "Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem... "

I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

It has also been translated as, "I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude."

You, me, and old TJ... thinking alike.
l fear we are radically out of step with today's "Nerf Everything. Sue em If They Don't" mentality.

Society has lost its robustness in taking care of themselves as opposed to expecting the government's interventions into their lives to solve every problem. It appears our forefather's generational genes are being watered down and we are losing our drive for freedoms as a result.. too many Karens out there!
