Other than you're a generous person and an avowed Tea Partyist? You're right, I don't have a clue as to what makes you tick. So enlighten me.

I don't think that his proposition required any personal knowledge of you - except that it presumed that you do not fit the profile of the folks targeted for the so-called "Terry stops." The question was, what if the profile did fit folks who have whatever characteristics you happen to own? Would you have a different perspective on stop and frisk if that were the case?

Regards,

About crack vs coke, a very easy and enlightening test: do a line of coke. Wait a couple hours. Smoke a rock of crack.

Report back I've never heard of coke babies.

I find it interesting that the left, which generally promotes the greater good over individual freedom, has an issue over patdowns.

Stop and frisk will never end until it is applied to white people. Then it will come to a crashing halt.

While the right loves them, despite their supposed devotion to individual freedom. What does all this tell us, honestly? (Other than that easy broad generalizations often are a poor guide?)

I don't support them. I also hate cop helicopter flyovers.

But if NYC wants them it's their concern, my take. Why not put it to a vote?

They are. Mayor De Blasio has campaigned on that very issue.

Ah. Then the 4th Amendment does not extend to NYC, in your opinion.

To bring up another matter, how do you feel about plans to put black boxes in everyone's cars, that report everywhere you go to the government? These are state governments, so again we must ask whether the 4th extends....

Let's put the 2nd to a national vote, Pete.

All new cars have had black boxes for a long time. My 03 has one.
