Wiretapping Charges Dropped

Ada_Rules writes "I realize that the end of a story is not nearly as sexy as the beginning, but police in Nashua have dropped the wiretapping charges against a man that had recorded both video and audio from on his home security system. The man had brought a videotape to the police station to back up a claim that a detective was rude to him while on his property as part of an investigation. In addition, the police have determined that the man's complaint about the detective was justified."

Sounds like parent needs to change *its* grammar

I'm tired of this mistake, because it's a very easy rule to learn.

If the GOP actually stuck to their platform you would be right. However the Bush administration is every bit as fascist as any communist dictator could ever hope to strive to be.

BOTH extremes use different justifications but arrive at the same end result: total surveillance and total control. The "liberal" exrtremists do it "for the children" and to make everyone equal (save the few in power who are a bit more "equal" than the rest - not very liberal, right?), and put laws into place to favor minorities to "level the playing field" regardless of merit or lack thereof. The "right" extremists want to legislate "morality" and enforce it, sometimes through extreme measures. Today's GOP is not conservative at all; - they are every bit as much into government control as, say, Stalin or Mao Tse Tung was.

If you want to be a true conservative (e.g., for small government, NO government interference in private lives, no tax-and-spend mentality, a true FAIR tax which hits the poor and rich alike, leaving the middle class with sufficient funds to help the needy of their own free will, discrimination based on MERIT alone and not favor or disfavor one based on superficial bullshit like skin color, etc.) then you should entertain becoming a libertarian.
