Yet another story of overzealous police officers pretending to protect the public. I found this particular statement rather interesting:
Once inside the police inner sanctum I was questioned by three cops who wanted my name, my ID, my reason for being in Louisville, where I had spoken, to whom I had spoken. Then they informed me that I had been overheard talking about bombs and contamination. They then searched my bag and one officer found my copy of the constitution and asked if I always carried it with me. I told him “Yes, you never know when you might need it.”
We now live in a society where carrying around a copy of the Constitution of the United States of America is suspicious activity. Maybe there will come a time when we will be able to legally shove a copy of the Constitution down the throat of any public official that asks such asinine questions.
But, then again, I suppose that’s just wishful thinking.
