The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.handog wrote:Law enforcement agencies have long had the ability to write citations for slower vehicles failing to keep to the right or for impeding traffic. The new law does not affect that.
It's getting tougher to be a law abiding citizen. There are so many laws being heaped on us it is hard to keep track. It seem like almost everything is becoming a crime now. You can be arrested and charged with crimes for doing things like reading your wifes e mail, not recycling properly, and having brown lawns. There was a news story just last week about a school girl here in Texas being pulled out of class and arrested because her perfume was distracting .
Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
