Unde - it is not about Marcus Vick. He's a fukk up. We all know it. I don't feel sorry for his ass nor am I defending him for being a dumbass. That is not the point. The point is that NO ONE should be able to enter YOUR house without a warrant. This is a civil liberties issue not a Vick issue. If my neighbor was selling meth, I would want them jailed but not by an illegal bust. Go get a warrant and do it the right way. If the cops came by your house would you let them in the door? I'm sure you would. I would too. I have had several police in my house because I invited them in. The constable has eaten dinner in my home... BUT
What if you happen to let in some dirty cops like these guys...

I lived in LA when Rampart planted evidence against thousands of citizens. I'm not so sure I would have let a cop into my house in LA in 1995. The cops cannot and should not be able to terrorize neighborhoods at will. They must follow proper protocol. What if a cop enters your home and plants drugs in order to shake you down? I know you don't think it can happen but just look at the link I sent and look at the hundreds of cases where they did. If a cop plants drugs, weapons, etc., in your house, you are screwed. You have no defense against that. Which is why you must maintain the sacred privacy of your home. Sure it was Vick, so who cares. Well if they can do it to him, they can do it to you or I.
Plus, I also said. I do not believe in incarcerating our citizens for drug use... any drug but especially marijuana. I personally do not do drugs, never have BUT who am I to tell someone not to get high or drunk in the privacy of their own home? As long as you do not infringe on society, I do not care. But once you step out of your house and if you are high as hell and you run someone over or you commit a crime, then we should come down on you 10x as much. But, I believe we should educate and help people who have addictions rather than incarcerate them. There's a great movie on Netflix called 13th that folks on SBR especially should see. It talks about race, crime, America and elections. One thing most people realize now is that incarcerating people especially for drugs is a lose proposition. The Clinton's probably did more damage than anyone in this country.
