It's not working, much to the displeasure of the Boston cops.
"Boston police officials, surprised by intense opposition from residents,
have significantly scaled back and delayed the start of a program that would
allow officers to go into people's homes and search for guns without a
warrant," reports the Boston Globe. "The program, dubbed Safe Homes, was
supposed to start in December, but has been delayed at least three times
because of misgivings in the community. March 1 was the latest missed start
date."
It should be dubbed homes outside the purview of the Fourth Amendment. But
thankfully some residents and community groups have a handle on the scheme,
designed to get people accustomed to surrendering their liberty. "One
community group has been circulating a petition against the plan. Police
officials trying to assuage residents' fears have been drowned out by
criticism at some meetings with residents and elected officials."
"Police would ask parents or legal guardians for permission to search homes
where juveniles ages 17 and under are believed to be holding illegal guns,"
the Globe continues. "Police would only enter homes into which they have
been invited and, once inside, would only search the rooms of the
juveniles."
Bostonians are not buying it, though. It is not so much the flimsy rules
about what is to be searched. It is rather the very idea of allowing police
to enter without justification coupled with a search warrant issued by a
judge.
Meanwhile, in the District of Criminals, the cops are having difficulty with
an anti-Fourth Amendment scheme of their own. "D.C. police are going
door-to-door Monday in one of the city's crime-plagued neighborhoods, asking
residents for permission to search their homes for guns and other illegal
contraband," reports ABC News 7. "The program, called the Safe Homes
Initiative, will offer homeowners and renters limited amnesty for possessing
any contraband found by police."
Notice the identical name with the striking difference that the district
scheme will snoop out "other illegal contraband" as well. Of course, this
could be almost anything in your home, epsecially considering the fact
police departments now strive to hire cops with the IQ average of a dullard,
unable to tell rosemary from marijunana and table salt from cocaine.
In an effort to soften people up - in other words, brainwash those least
able to resist, the kids - the D.C. police "department initiated its program
by distributing literature at police stations and Boys and Girls Clubs to
gauge public interest. It plans to begin the searches in two weeks."
"Police spokeswoman Traci Hughes said the Safe Home program attempts to
reach parents or guardians who think or know their children have guns and
will offer amnesty for certain gun- and drug-possession charges," reports
the Washington Times.
For "certain gun- and drug-possession charges," in short for none, as the
point will be to show off the program's smashing success and the number of
criminals apprehended.
In response, the ACLU dispatched workers to hand out window signs. "To the
Police: NO CONSENT TO SEARCH OUR HOME," the signs declare.
Of course, this will surely anger the police and the government, under
orders to induce compliance and obedience in the masses, beginning with the
children at their Boys and Girls Clubs. As Orwell knew, subserviance to the
state begins with the little ones.
"D.C. Council member Marion Barry said the plan violates the Fourth
Amendment, which bars illegal search and seizure. He also said it infringes
on parental responsibility.
It looks like our rulers will have to go back to the drawing table on this
one. Or they may be obliged to engineer another 9/11 or Katrina event to
break down the will of the people, most who simply want to be left alone
without police intervention and the intrusions of the state.
