I have been thinking of nothing else for the last few years. Did we surrender them to allow police and feds to catch the BAD GUYS? Well I haven't seen that many drug smugglers or terrorists arrested as a result but I have seen many on the spot cash and property seizures. Now if you cary too much cash you loose it untill YOU can prove it legitimit and all without due process. I not in favor of crime I just think anyone should wield that power without a court hearing. Frankly I don't want to give that much power to police officers on the shoulder of an interstate, do you?
