(150 posts)While I know this will offend a great many people, I have a real damn good reason for it. I am in error.(I do not have the jurisdiction to say whether this is the right or wrong decision, but I am going to tell you how I feel.) Listen up, please.
So, In my humble opinion, this decision was poorly made. (Aka: bull crap) This is because we have a real good reason for the 4th amendment. This is to prevent cops from these unreasonable searches and seizures. Cops already have too much power to search and sieze people who are already allegedly members of a free society. I dont want them to have any such more power. Not only that, but its the start of a possible chain of events that lead to a police state. That in itself is bad juju.
Heres my example of myself. I own the vehicle, but my dad drives it. If I had commited a crime(lets just say homicide) and the police ran the plates then my dads getting his 4th amendment rights taken away. Cause again, he drives and I do not. This is wrong and I find it offensive to all the people who will have similar problems.
There also runs the risk of more racial discrimination with this new law. If a cop doesnt like a person they can run the plates and if anything pops up, bam. They pull ya over and have the right to search ya vehicle/arrest you. That just aint cool. Like, this is 101 american freedom. The more power cops get, the spookier.
Just trust that this will be changed in time. In the mean time, spread the world.
