Have to support their pensions somehow.
Think about this for a moment. A motor cycle cop pulling you over for no seatbelt.
There is a Supreme Court case that concludes that it's not the police job to protect you but enforce the law!
There is also a case where it concludes that states can't take rights convert them to privileges and issue a license and a fee to engage in the act. It also states that if it is done you can ignore the law and engage in the right with impunity!!
Time to start standing up for our God given rights!!!! Or is it "an emergency" so cops can break the law" I saw NO more!!!
