I am an avid supporter of the enforcement of law (except when that law contradicts the natural rights of man, e.g. the right to use a medicine approved by the AMA for over 40 years, marijuana, under the care of a licensed physician. I support them following orders, except orders that contradict the Constitution like the suspension of Habeas Corpus. I donate directly to them every year. I even support them upgrading their existing equipment to better serve the public (i.e. electronic fingerprinting, e-filing of reports, GPS on cars, cars that are more fuel efficient,etc. But the one thing I can't stand is some cop coming up with a budget proposal for an item the force has no need for (a racing bike) and then pushing it through with the unfounded claim that it will catch more "crooks" than the current equipment. With all this mess over the current budget and the impending default, it seems downright negligent to spend money on something so frivolous and that has no proven potential to be any better than the current equipment apart from a manufacturer's claim and a cop's desire to ride a BMX bike on his job. Do these people even take their job seriously? Do they not realize that their sole goal as police officers is to enforce the law and protect the public, NOT go on a Toys 'R Us spree? Let me know what you think, are these expenses justified and if so, how? I look forward to your comments.
