Days of our Trailers brings our attention to yet another abuse of power. Not by some activist judge, or some President vastly overstepping his authority, but by a commander in the police force.
As stated in the post:
“I’m not giving you the key. I’m not giving consent to enter my house,” Sgt. Corrigan recalled saying in an interview with me last week at D.C. Superior Court after the city dropped all 10 charges against him.
“Then the cop said to me, ‘I don’t have time to play this constitutional bullshit with you. We’re going to break your door in, and you’re going to have to pay for a new door.’”
~And this wasn’t just rookie ‘Beat Cop’ , this was a Commander of the force, a person who’s sworn to uphold that ‘Bullsh!t’ he so hates.~
That’s what certain individuals put into positions of authority think of things like Due Process, obtaining Warrants, Miranda, etc. The ‘boy in blue’ in our Nation’s Capitol. Versus An Iraqi War Veteran.
Go see the post and the article.
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – Lord Acton
h/t Thirdpower, Washington Times
The commander deserves to be severed from the force with prejudice, and permanently blacklisted from ever serving in any government role. Then he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Not that I think anything like that will EVER happen.

Posted by guffaw1952 | May 31, 2012, 12:24 pmThe only surprising thing is this incident is getting some publicity.
Once, when my two youngest were in their late teens, someone dumped a hit and run vehicle in our driveway while I was at work. Two local officers, over my son’s objections, entered our house and looked around. When I complained the next day, the attitude was “what is your problem”?
