OT: The Coast Guard are after *you*

========= Amendment IV.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." =========

There is no exemption. There is no word "border" in Article 1 Section 8 either.

The INS trap on I-5 is well north of San Diego. Is San Diego outside the border?

Haven't been down that way in ages, since supporting a Navy customer down on Cabrillo Point. I do remember the most wonderful Italian place somewhere near Talbot and Rosecrans where we used to do lunch. Damn, that place was so good it's almost worth the trip back there ...

I vaguely remember a really good one along in that vicinity, but not at that particular intersection... marvelous cioppino.

Used to eat there regularly when the parents of a son-in-law lived out on Point Loma. ...Jim Thompson

The I5 there might be the equivalent of the border. Hardly matters anyway, the Supreme Court has decided that 4th Amendment protection doesn't extend much beyond your back porch.

These type of lead in sentences are a real turn off for me. I become a complete cynic after anyone starts off with this kind of crap.

So this happened to him six weeks before writing this, and he has the ability to render this opinion. Why not chronicle other , worse offenses that are unconstitutional (such as some of the imminent domain nonsense).

I bet this guy never even considered asking this type of question until something bad happened to him.

I am much more impressed with a story from a guy like this where he has heard about an injustice to someone else and gets all worked up about it.

This letter seems crafted as a sales pitch to get some old lady worked up. These things kind of fry me. They are often self serving and disingenuous.

What in all dominion ever gave you the idea that politicians care diddly about the law. They believe that they are the law unto themselves. Worse, we the people, encourage them.
