do not consent to being searched

[picklemonkey]

Every time i go into a supermarket, I get searched. Everytime i go into the bank, I get searched. Everytime i go to the train station, i get searched. Everytime I go to the Mall i get searched. Everytime i enter a government building, I get searched. Everytime i go into a cafe i get searched. . . etc.

seriously? sorry to hear it man

although I do condone searching when appropriate, I can't imagine a life of being searched in every building I enter. would sort of make me feel like one huge prision.

Re: do not consent to being searched

again, the cops arent searching you just to be pricks, they are doing this for safety, and to speak frankly, and please dont insinuate anything out of what i say, i am stating the bad facts that are indeed facts.

1. they search all kinds of people just to avoid problems with racial profililng. none of these bombers have been a prototypical white american or white european. wyou have to realize that they are going to different extents depending on who they search. obviously someone who appears to be from the middle eastern region or southwest asia is going to be looked at with a more diligent eye. its just something you have to deal with, and if you are clean you shouldnt worry, they cant arrest you for being from a certain region.

2. the people who are making a huge fuss about this are obviously disallusioned to what is actually happening in the world today. itas sad that they are willing to put my, your, and everyone else's safety before their personal will. (you may think they are right, but IMHO, fuck off, i want you to deal with it, dont put my life at risk b/c you are bothered. if you do then i will maintain my right to carry my gun loaded and ill start playing with it while its aimed at you. it my right. i wont say that i'll fire it, but you can deal with the risk.) again this is just a personal opinion that some will differ from. to each thier own.

3. they arent going to stop doing this, so learn to deal. im not a fan or the morning, but i have to wake up early every day.

Re: do not consent to being searched

the rights of the american people are dwindling away as we speak. what the country was founded on has now lost its way. They should bring back martial law before doing this. The USA should start a mass export of all somalians, arabs and any other nationality that is envolved with Osama and the gang. The police have become to powerful in the USA now and it seems people will just hand over there rights like retarded sheep instead of fixing the real problem the terrorists.

Re: do not consent to being searched

well, a lot of us would hesitate to deport anyone from northern africa, middle east or the indian penninsula(inlcuding pakistan). i know it would be a big step, but its just plain wrong to kick the guy out who is a active and positive member of society b/c someone from his country likes bombing innocent ppl. i dont know why they just dont go after politicians since they are the ones to blame. wouldnt mind it if the bushes and the clintons were put on ice.

Re: do not consent to being searched

you people read too much science fiction.

i thikn it has more to do with the fact that barely any of you have actually had to deal with shit like knowing that you are living in a prime target area. you live in safe areas and are used to not having to deal with this.

Re: do not consent to being searched

I've been thinking about this a little more, is a bag check really going to stop a would-be bomber?

Obviously it is intended as a deterrent, but think about this: is someone who is ready to die all that worried about getting busted? Let's say the cops roll up on an actual suicide bomber in the midst of his plan, he will just trigger the device at that time and be done with it.

So how did the bag check actually make anyone safer?

Re: do not consent to being searched

actually we are safer with the searches, because rather than making it onto a subway train or into an airport and killing dozens or hundreds, they are cut off at the pass.a yes you must realize that if it happens and they kill a cop or fed, many more lives have been saved.

god I wish these things would happen to the people who fight these things.

Re: do not consent to being searched

I think the answer to this above asked / poll question is simple...Yes, you consent to be searched and no, it does not infringe upon your rights. Why should you not consent to being searched if you do not have anything to hide. Actually, I would feel a little safer knowing that people are being randomly searched and in these days and times I think it makes a great deal of sense. The question I think Daveman is getting at is..How Paranoid Are You? If you are carrying something that you should be, then, hell no, you do not consent to being searched. And if thats the case, keep your ass of the subway!

Well then, I certainly hope you don't end up disappointed

Where are they searching the bags, outside on the street, or inside the station/on the train? Either way, I don't see a whole lot of difference, if they are searching people it is probably in a crowded place, and if it's a crowded place and something happens, people are going to get hurt either way.

I'm in favor of methods for stopping terror, as long as they are effective and not just symbolic. The symbolic ones can be more dangerous because they give a false sense of security. If we are busy jerking off searching handbags at the bus stop and sniffing shoes at the airport while the terrorists stike again, they they have succeeded two fold- they have both attacked us, and forced us to destroy our own way of life.
