Police limit searches for guns
Boston police officials, surprised by intense opposition from residents, have significantly scaled back and delayed the start of a program that would allow officers to go into people's homes and search for guns without a warrant.
The program, dubbed Safe Homes, was supposed to start in December, but has been delayed at least three times because of misgivings in the community. March 1 was the latest missed start date.
One community group has been circulating a petition against the plan. Police officials trying to assuage residents' fears have been drowned out by criticism at some meetings with residents and elected officials.
Yeah, that pesky ol' fourth amendment just got in the way, didn't it?
Fuck you, you lazy-assed fascist bastards. Try finding some probably cause, first. Or, y'know, how about trying to keep the fucking criminals in the fucking jails. That always seemed to work in the past. It's a damn sight better idea than just randomly searching people's homes without cause or warrant. Of course, that would require a judiciary with a fucking spine, so fat chance.
Every day, I despair more and more for our society.
That is all.

I love MA, God help us all
Not only "N", but filed also under "things that will never happen in Ricky's home state".
Then again, neither will a top ten finish in high school test scores. :)
Of course the police will point out all the serches will be done with the permission of the home owners.
Of course if you try to explain to the cops that 16 year old Runaway that's sharing your bed gave you full permission for that statutory rape.
...same with a boss dating his subordinate.
You get the picture
"Not only "N", but filed also under "things that will never happen in Ricky's home state"."
Don't be so sure of that... Once President Obama has outlawed all handguns and Attorney General Schumer starts enforcing the "Assault Weapon Repossession Act of 2009"...
But you didn't quote the "police are like vampires" line....
The biggest problem this country has at this point seems to me to be "the war on drugs."
See, it's necessary to give lighter sentence/early release to rapists and muggers because they need the jail cells for "mandatory minimum" sentences for possession of a small amount of pot.
Seriously.
Add in the profit motive which drives the dealers' "turf wars" and thus the violence, which they turn to "gun control" in an attempt to stop.
We learned ~90 years ago that prohibition didn't work, didn't we?
I don't use, and probably wouldn't if it was legal, but the ruined lives and societal ills produced prove that in this case the cure is worse than the disease...
