    That's funny Fred, in a sad way. My brother was telling me that they almost never pull people over in California (San Diego area) for speeding. He said there's just not enough cops. There're too many other traffic issues.'

    My son's girlfriend is from Wyoming. They'll pull you over there for one mile over the limit. They have nothing else to do.

    Another point, even if the vote didn't pass does anyone actually think they'd stop spying?
    No...they’ll spy for the good guys...spooks are spooks, can’t change their nature.

    Here in Dan Siego (here with the GF on a mini working “vacation”) they’ll get cha for driving while Hispanic. They typically leave the blacks alone as they are mostly military.

    Yeah. I was talking with some people who grew up in Chula Vista and there was a street you didn't go past unless you were ready to get pulled over. Everyone knew it.

    Hearing stories like that makes me step back and think a bit. I never, ever had to worry about where I went in that sort of way.

    I got profiled once while driving by a church. The young lady in front of me was as well. See, it was a black church and surely the young black lady in the car in front of me was going into the parking lot, right? And surely I wasn't, I mean after all....(I'm kinda pale)

    Another angle to consider is that this allows them to continue to collect data on those of questionable character as well.
    You know, those who are on the wane in terms of executing a global plan for all of us.

    And if there is an upcoming upgrade in the works for all of us, all of this legislation and illegality will be negated, one way or another.

    Just a thought or 2.
