Police State

Pennsylvania police can search vehicles without search warrant. A court ruled this even though nothing changed to make it so.

Snowdens says the NSA spies more on Americans than anybody else in the world. Of course. Foreigners are no threat to the government.

BLM has a long history of stealing people's cattle.

"That morning, a government official from the Bureau of Land Management told him to come down to a seizure site where the 132 cattle he owned were about to be impounded.

When he arrived, men brandishing handguns told him he couldn't get any closer than 250 yards from his cattle. He watched from a distance as the government loaded the livestock onto stock trailers.

Within a week, the cattle had been sold at a private auction – for what Yowell estimated to be a quarter of their market price. The proceeds belonged to BLM, officials told him, paying a portion of the grazing fees he suddenly owed. It wasn't enough to cover the full debt, and BLM sent Yowell a bill for $180,000."

I like the "suddenly owed" part.

"In 1994, Clinton Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt rushed through a total overhaul of cattle and sheep grazing regulations on over 260 million acres of land that was managed by the BLM and Agriculture Department's U.S. Forest Service, The Washington Post reported. "

I remember the uproar in the west over this.
