I understand the need for every last freedom in the law, and a few that the Congress would never sign off on.

I hate when those freedoms yield an unjust result.

Let's say Shanequa and her stocky Swedish friend Sven are pulled over for not wearing seatbelts. While the officer is writing the citation, he smells the odor of marijuana. He peers inside the car and sees a large baggie of pot on the seat between them. The officer arrests both Shanequa and Sven, then searches the car.

In the trunk, the officer finds 50 Uzi submachine guns with the serial numbers filed off.

It is later determined that the officer shouldn't have pulled them over, because the seatbelt law is only valid if the driver is pulled over for another defense.

The lab determined that the pot was actually oregano, and that Sven liked to smoke clove cigarettes (thus explaining the odor).

The guns? Federal rap, right? Well, the officer's initial stop was bogus, so the subsequent search was unconstitutional. The Feds keep the guns, but Shanequa and Sven walk.

You KNOW they're dirty, but they walk.

I hate that people have the freedom to be offended in a legal manner.

1 - Why does it no longer matter what the speaker meant by his words, but only how they were taken?

2 - What ever happened to "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me"? When did our society become so terribly weak that a mere insult is worthy of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in injury?

To take advantage of the government, like get disability when you are not disabled, collecting food stamps when you don't need them because you are well to do, basically cheating the gov't and taxpayers.
