Default OT Should the police search your smartphone/tablet?

"One of [the bullies I went to high school with joined the police
force and] became the subject of a huge investigation by the
Mollen Commission"

That's a good thing, isn't it? Isn't that called "justice served".

Backtracking and babbling...

It's my experience the criteria for hiring police officers is flawed.
There's just too many that take a dictatorial stance with an aggressive
attitude, treating one as if they're nothing but "I own your ass"
immediately upon deciding to stop someone for any reason or what's more
likely simply because "they felt like it" with no valid reason.

There's something wrong with anyone who puts on a weapon every day with
full intention of using it if and when they feel it necessary. When they
finally do, I think of it as murder. The fact so called extenuating
circumstances "justifies" it so society doesn't charge them with a crime
doesn't change that.

Not much different than the military. Again just another bunch of people
will willingly murder others. What makes it so much worse is that both
do it for nothing more than money. Don't waste your breath telling me
it's "love of country" or "doing society a service".

I cry for neither.
