No go on disc as of yet, I'll check one last place. I still have <3

Makes zombies cry. Bump

+2 must be like a Chinese finger trap

With a constant patrol they're gaining a lot more back as far as freedom is concerned. Again, I hate to compare Iraq to America for God's sake, but it works. While in Tikrit after we took out what was left of the Republican guard/Ba'ath party/Fedayeen, the people we happy and felt so much better. Granted for a while we had to keep a lock down going, but in the end result a temporary loss was better in a long term gain. Granted, I still agree with the curfew being accessive, but at times drastic measures tend to work. Maybe it won't fix 100% of the problems, but will deffinately make criminals scared shitless to try anything in that area. The sight of a police force with automatic weapons sends a good signal, they aren't there to play Mr.Nice Guy.

The 24 hour curfew is excessive, I will agree 100% with that. Hell we let the Iraqis have more freedom than that. I'm sure the story isn't pointing out every aspect as to which the TCP/Curfew was set up, but I'm sure they covered their tracks on it. But conducting a TCP in such a small area in which crime is rapant, should be in noway, shape, or form considered unconstitutional. Seems like most in this thread are taking it to the point of Martial Law, in which this case, it is nowhere CLOSE to Martial Law. And yes things could get lots worse, I can use Katrina as an example. Rampant crime, looting, and other acts against the law forced Lousiana to call upon the National Guard to come into effect.

:funny: What no Terrorist card?

Under Martial Law I'd actually be out enforcing it

That's blatantly unconstitutional. A TCP is far from unconstitutional, and if it is, then so would be DUI check points. It's the same general concept of what this city is doing. If they have these TCP (Tactical Check Point) already in place 24/7 then I can see the curfew being excessive. But in any case a TCP/DUI check point are one in the same. If they called it a DUI check point, and happened to find guns/drugs etc.. would it be so bad? A DUI check point doesn't seem to get the ACLU mad, nor do people scream it's unconstitutional. DUI check points take care of drunks, these TCP's are taking care of criminals.

I just cleaned guns and looked for a coyote. Got nothing

I might have joined if I didn't start my miller lite plan of the day.

I agree with 90% of all the statements on Constitutional rights, but this is a small area in a town in which residents can't enjoy their freedom. So if freedom is momentarily impeaded upon for a brighter future, then by all means, that seems right to me.

When has that happened in the US? Because it happened else where that doesn't mean it would/will happen here. What these LEO are doing in Arkansas are the equvalent of a DUI check point once again. You must have no grasp of what a TCP (Tactical Check Point) is. Not all cars end up being searched. It's a random screaning, and mostly asking people for intel (who,what,where,when,why type questions) Some of you are blowing a simple TCP up into, full blown Martial Law. Martial Law could always be enforced at some point of an emergency, and in that situation individuals will be detained (meaning you can be held for quite some time). It's not like the curfew/check points have spread all over the city, it is in a confined area. And once again, the COMMUNITY, law enforcement, judge and mayor all approved of this. So far it seems nobody has complained about their civil rights or rights in general being infringed upon. I'll say it is drastic in a way, and seems like it was a brain storm of some former military personell, but it works. Now if this were a whole ENTIRE city, I would see wrong in that. They're targeting a small community inside of a city. Again not an entire city. TCP's are set up via intelligence, and facts. As I've read so far, the outcome has been quite successful. Hell you are the type of person that would cry wolf, if a Law Enforcement officer wasn't at your house in under 5 minutes to help you in time of need. The fact that they have a heavy LEO presence is quite impressive. If you need a snake to die, cut the head off.

Let's go muddin.

It was a really smart move by all means. At the same point I see no need to get back into a post-cold war pissing match with Russia again. Now if Russia does make the Geogian president a squishy head, then I see the US fueling the fire. That would piss off quite a few countries, especially NATO.

That was quite fun.

If you like to wear out your front suspension and have a horrible ride you can. For the price of torsion keys, it's worth every dollar of comfort. FormulaMatt- You give me a shout tomorrow we should be able to get you taken care of and I'll give you a quote too.

I'm off work, I want booze sauce.

You can say the same about the Bible, but some things were left to interpret, not verbatum.

Yes, but there are interpretations of the Constitution. If a state of emergency was set into place, there would be National Guard soldiers all over the place doing the same exact thing. Doing a check point in a stricken area such as that, isn't a crime nor do I see it violate anything. Now if it were to expand outward into areas not stricken by the crime, guns, drugs etc.. that would be a quick no cross line. Consider it just like DUI check points. If you haven't been drinking, and are just driving home from work, vacation, or just minding your own business, do you have a problem with that check point? Would you just cooperate and go upon your way? I'm not arguing at all against OUR great Constitution, but the Constitution has been recently taken advantage of way too much. I've seen the 1st Amendment be used so far as to be treason, yet they're still protected. These were check points, not random knocks on the door with unlawful search/seizure. If you yourself were not a gun owner, lived in a drug, crime, gun infested community, you would want help.
