[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1805188, member: 18"] As has been stated previously, I am a citizen before I am a police officer and will still be one when I am not a police officer. I am also a believer in limited government. I also believe the government has a role in public safety. the length to which that role extends is the issue and I doubt the founders would take issue with that otherwise they wouldn't have left open the means to amend the Constitution. Whatever the legislature of this state decide they want is what I will enforce. If they decide that spitting, speeding, or fraud are no longer criminal, I will no longer enforce those laws. It makes me no never mind. What I do NOT want is someone who isn't even meticulous enough to verify their statements making blanket decisions about what I should and shouldn't do. There are consequences to every action and decision and I prefer that the people who make those decisions be thorough before running off half-cocked making their decisions based on rumors.
