Re: A Cop just told me, "Freedom doesn't exist anymore."
the more I hear about this matter about freedom in the US and some other countries, the more grateful I am for not being born there.. it is just sad that fewer and fewer AND fewer people can stay happy without making others suffer
we might believe a story from a well known member, but he'll get a dark eyes from that cop's department if he didn't have a solid proof.
I was blowing leaves off of my property this morning (granted 7:30am might have been a bit early) when a police officer confronted me. He told me that I was breaking the law (where I live the noise ordinance is from 10pm-6am). When I let him know the law and asked what law I was breaking by leaf blowing my property, he responded by saying, "This isn't the good old days, freedom doesn't exist anymore." He had a straight face and was dead serious. It is a sad day when not even the police believe in freedom anymore or respect the laws. I just wish I had been recording the interaction as it would have been youtube gold.
You didn't need to record it, you only needed to get this civil servant's name and badge number and report it to us here. Then some of us might have believed your story. we might believe a story from a well known member, but he'll get a dark eyes from that cop's department if he didn't have a solid proof.
