Sad thing is some people who don't live in the Carleton area would of just read Pax's original post and believed it only said "Pay Up."

sheesh.  The intent of the original post still remains, for those who just don't see it: it makes absolutely, positively no difference what verbiage would precede it.  The fact that "Pay Up" is there at all tells everyone reading it what the so-called "Police" are up to these days, and serving-and-protecting ain't it.  They are there to generate revenue for whichever entity employs them, nothing more, and certainly no less.  Whether you agree with such tactics (or "rules" or "codes" or even "laws") or not is your prerogative, but as a patriotic American it is certainly my prerogative to point out the disparity(ies) between what we have in place at present vs. what used to be there.  The police were never meant or intended to be cash-registers, but they sure as hell are.  One can even "pay your fines" right there in some patrol cars these days - "for your convenience," don't ya know. "Have your credit card handy!" as the infomercials regularly intone...

I agree Pax. There is no way to take that out of context. It looks like government has effectively led people to believe that it is ok.

As for my "Fund Raiser" comment, I stand by it.

I was reading an article today and couldn't help but notice the similarities between some of what was said in it and what I've been thinking regarding how "Law Enforcement" has changed so dramatically since I was a wee lad.  I'll post the link below, but here's just an excerpt, for those interested:

Quote
I continue to be at a loss to explain how it is that so many tens of millions of amerikans simply do not see the utter destruction of their former republic by socialists, one worlders, deviates, liars and thieves. The men in black have been roving the country flashing their memory erasers around the clock. Let’s take a check on how things are really going.

Our nation’s police forces prior to the criminal thug Richard Nixon were centered on community policing. MOST of their time was spent on looking for, identifying, and monitoring criminals, and responding to unusual or dangerous events that were beyond the control of ordinary folks. We appreciated those officers and were proud to say, “he is OUR Cop!” We knew that we could talk to him, kid him, see him play adult softball, and sit across from him in church. We watched him shed tears when one of our kids didn’t make it home after a night of drinking and driving. We remembered him at Christmas, because he didn’t make much you know.

I said “him” because back then, there were no women in the ranks.

Another article, from October of '08:

The Enforcement Arm of the Robber State <- link

Quote
As the economy collapses, credit lines become constricted, and tax revenues are choked off, we can expect local representatives of the parasite class (commonly called "government") to become perversely creative in finding new ways to extract money from productive people. For parasites looking to feast on the wealth of others, the liberty-devouring fraud called the War on Drugs offers a particularly rich menu of possibilities.

By way of the fraudulent, murderous enterprise called the War on Drugs, Police and Sheriff's departments in many jurisdictions are robbing people blind in the name of civil asset forfeiture, an officially sanctioned form of robbery in which cash or property is deemed "guilty" of involvement in narcotics trafficking.

It's not necessary to prove that a crime has been committed, or even to arrest or charge an individual with a criminal offense. All that is required is for an officer to assert some "nexus" between the coveted money or property, and then a civil procedure begins in which the onus is placed on the victim to prove that both he and his property are innocent.

Pax-I don't don't what you're so worried about. It's obvious you spend all your time on MT and "researching" for your next conspiracy. 8* 8* 8*

It's obvious you spend all your time on MT and "researching" for your next conspiracy.

con·spir·a·cy (kn-spîr-s)

n. pl. con·spir·a·cies
1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design

If anyone is conspiring to do harm to others I'd say it's our responsibility to seek it out before it happens.  If the fruits of the conspiracy aren't known to others it's also our responsibility to air the infractions to all who will listen.
