Police State

Editor, Times-Union:
Well, what’s next? We here in Indiana just lost our Fourth Amendment, which basically means that a police officer can come into your house at anytime, day or night, with no warrant. They don’t even have to knock on the door.
I’m all for law and order, but I’m also for keeping the freedoms that we have in place. What’s next, our guns?
The supreme leader has got to be loving all this. He’s not far from getting his socialist country that he so much yearns for. Remember this, when Hitler took away his country’s firearms, he had them. No way they could fight back. No matter what he did.
This needs to be fought hard and stopped now. I don’t generally agree with Mr. Metzger on a lot of things, but I do on this. We have got to wake up, people. Your only recourse, if a officer enters your house illegally, is to take your case to court. Sorry to say, you’re probably not going to get very far there.
If a officer didn’t like you for some reason, they could enter your house, without cause, plant drugs in your house and haul you away. God forbid this would ever happen, but it very well could.
We are losing our freedoms one by one, not just here but everywhere. We need change but we sure don’t need Obama’s. We have to wake up people – now!
Have a nice day.
