That, my friend, is EXACTLY the problem.

Even so, it will cost him time and legal fees. Like someone else posted this all came about because of the "war on drugs".

So much for the presumption of innocence.

The following of illegal orders and kicking in doors to confiscate weapons from people who's only crime was to be alive in their house on a city wide basis was and is the issue with New Orleans. The people who had this done to them did nothing as an individual to deserve it. They just survived the storm. The Jack Booted Thugs followed illegal orders and took what ever they wanted when they wanted to.

There is a big difference between LEO's enforcing laws as they apply to an individual who might have broken one. The entire system is set up for this.
When LEO's disarm entire communities at the whim of a self declared dictator as was done in NO, they become any well armed group of gangsters and should be treated as such.

Let us pray we never see this in Texas.
