9. So you advocate what amounts to harrassment??
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 12:25 AM by AzWorker
It used to be common for cops to "stop and talk" to folks that 'looked out of place" in some neighborhoods. I would imagine they would probably "stop and talk" with them about every 25 yds or so.....until they got the message and got back "across the tracks" so to speak...

I was hoping we were done with all that ugly business.......

6. Every policeman should act like that. But, every policeman should stop anyone with a gun and

check out everything about the situation. If the carrier gets stopped every 25 yards, so be it."
