Sounds like staying at home whether or not you drink would be a good idea, free.
Just curious...how would you feel if the police could just waltz into your house without ANY cause, go through all your things?
which they pretty much can now anyway.
how many of your rights are you willing to give up to feel safe?
do you feel safe?
Interesting case in point. There's a guy in FL who was asleep in bed with his wife. Masked robbers broke in through a window. Homeowner shot 2 of the 4 killing 1. Under the Stand Our Ground (self defense) law the sheriff and DA says he was 100% right and there will be no charges on that.
HOWEVER, in the course of investigating the shooting they found drugs in the home and DO want to prosecute him for that!
Now that is certainly a no win situation. He shoots he has to report it. He allows them to break in and assuming they only rob him he's supposed to report it but if he doesn't maybe he doesn't face drug charges, unless of course they kill someone in the house. So there again he has to report it. It just isn't right IMO to bring charges against someone for a minor offense when the reason the cops were called had nothing at all to do with the minor offense and the owner was required by law to report.
So no just staying home minding your own business won't even keep out out of trouble with the law anymore.
