Be careful. Franklin said that they blocked him on Twitter. Nothing like your government taking the position that they are no longer required to even marginally listen to your input. Thank goodness for hashtags.
Why is the TSA checking buses? Do they think that terrorists might hijack a bus and fly it into a building?
You are not allowed to ask such questions because TERRORISM.
Just a question. If a governmental agency was to block you on twitter, would they be violating your right to free speech? Just something that popped into my head.
I think by “consent”, Houston METRO means coercion and arrest if you don’t “consent” to a violation of your 4th Amendment rights.
But but but . . . Anything For Safety!
Oh, well. Take my civil liberties. I wasn’t using them anyway.
So some armed goon in a police uniform says “I want to search your bag”. If you don’t agree then you must obviously have something hide which means (in their minds) they now have probable cause to search.
Just what I wanted for my birthday – some mouth breather who only has to have 2.0 GPA (straight off the Houston, TX PD website) for an incomplete degree (only 48 credit hours are required and most undergrad degrees are 120+) deciding they need to search me.
And the “training” was conducted by another bunch of mouth breathers who’s “key qualifications” (according to the job posting) is that they not be criminals, not be delinquent on more than $7500 of debt, not be delinquent on their taxes, not be behind in child support payments, and they registered for the draft when they were supposed to. At least the Houston PD requires SOME college…..
