Letters from the issue of Thursday, March 27, 2008

Think of your rights as The Club: Mary and her friends in "Doggy Style" were asked if they'd consent to a search of their car. It is important to remember that a police officer or federal agent without a warrant can always be told no!

Hold your rights dear to you lest they be stripped, people. Never let officers convince you that it would be easier or better if you cooperated. Be silent and allow them no quarter. If you make them have to back up every decision, they'll let you go. Much like a car thief, they'll just wait and find an easier target.

Old hippies catch no breaks: Typical liberal article. If these people stopped at Border Patrol checkpoints weren't fined, then it would be attributed to them being mostly white and middle-class. Talk about a Catch-22.

If you break the law, then you should be subject to the consequences, and I don't give a rat's ass if you're a grandmother. Signs are posted that a checkpoint is ahead. Do the laws only apply to certain people? Such arrogance.
