"They're Strip Searching Grandma!"
WASHINGTON--"Police can arrest and handcuff people even for minor offenses
punishable only by a fine, the U.S. Supreme Court said Tuesday in the case
of a motorist arrested and jailed for not wearing a seat belt." World News 4/24/01.
Police can now handcuff and arrest your grandmother for leaving her turn signal on.
That would put half the people in Florida in jail.
The handcuffs are either to protect the cops from little old ladies,
or just to maintain discipline.
The police cars around here have the slogan: "To protect and serve."
Everybody who believes that, raise your hand.
