Rights in the land of the Free? Really?

So it seems that now in the modern police state of Va ... due to a clerical Fuck up over a minor warrant, officers don't have to identify themselves, walk into your home uninvited, and refuse to divulge the charge of the warrant and demand your ID in your own house... and it gets better.

So yesterday, late afternoon. After we'd come back from fala_ten's

Not to mention this all took place in the time it took for me to take a shower - less than fifteen minutes.

Wow. I'm ticked-off just reading about it. I'm sad you and your son were put through that. *hugs*

I'm sure lots of people have anecdotes about how they have known nice cops over the years or how a cop once helped them do something ect, but this sort of thing is generally representative of my experiences with the police. Maybe if I had more positive experiences with the police I would have a better opinion of them but over the years all I have seen them do is threaten, bully, lie, intimidate, and generally abuse their authority often for no real reason other than "they could". This has left me with a rather bad taste in my mouth when it comes to the police

simply unexcusable :-(

Amazing and shitty. Any idea what the warrant was for?
