I have a real issue with this - can you please state your source? If this is true, then I find it a big violation of human rights..........

Yes sorry, the link is posted.

 

[Blessed75]

Thanks for the link - I find it a violation of human rights. That's really all I have to say about it. I just find it disturbing............

Yes it's true but I think it will backlash on them as well.

So now if a cop comes to your door and wants to ask some questions about a burglary down the street everyone will say "no thanks don't want to get involved". Because they don't want to be searched themselves

That's one of the worst pieces of legislation I've heard of in a long time...

neither am i. does that mean i shouldn't care if the police want to look in my house or business if they don't have a warrant? of course not. in the united states, we have a constitutionally guaranteed right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

i don't have anything illegal in my dorm room, but you can be sure if a law official knocked on my door asking to search it without a warrant, he'd get that door slammed back in his face.

I have a feeling this will be declared unconstitutional but i have to wonder how many more court decisions are going to keep testing the waters.

Politicians these days seem to be like little babies, pushing the envelope just a little bit each time to see what they can get away with.

I am thinking, though it may be against the Constitution and may be the anti-thesis to freedom, Lousiana may be quite happy with a non-free state. If the majority were against it, the state politicians would have no choice but to repeal the law or face losing re-elections.

Plus, in today's times of war, I think most americans don't really care anyway. They will make Constitutional sacrifices and sacrifices on freedom for percieved feelings ofsecurity.

Most people have major problems with non-free states when it's their freedom that is being attacked. It's a shame that they're only concerned with their own freedom and not their neighbours as well.

Well, I think hypocrisy is just human nature, it's how God made us, I suppose.

Havent you heard? Today's motto is 'survival of the fittest' all the while people think 'what's in it for me?'

Your TV being on to loud is enough to execute a search now, or how about and argument with a family member, or a dog barking or doggy accidents on the lawn, does it hit home yet, anything that looks wierd can prompt a search.

*disbelief*

So it's okay then? Got any scripture to back that up?

Hypocrisy in this case can also be known as selfishness. That's a part of human nature, but it's certainly not how God wants us to be.

Sounds like Louisiana has a crying need for Regime Change.

It's not how God wants us to be, but I think that' show he made us. Its confusing, but i think god made us to be tempted to do evil, but also gave us will power. I guess the struggle between the two forces is what makes us understand Gods' Big Plan.
