#4  I hope this will be just the first of a long series of rollbacks to federal police authority.

The bottom line is that the absence of the 4th amendment actually doesn't let them do their job better. They were doing fine for many years while respecting the constitution. They can go back to doing it that way again.

And if you think that "police theory" about what *should* work is any good, "because they know what they're doing", just remember that for many years, police were *certain* that strict gun control would reduce crime.

#3  Geez, knock out all of our military GPS so some asshat democrat can get a contract to make an inferior yet destabilizing device?

FU Democrats. You are not competent in anything. FOAD or move to Europe.

#2  I have often feared that the tactics, techniques, and procedures used for so-called nation building in the "Good War" are perhaps little more than a rehearsal for what might one day also be used for nation rebuilding elsewhere. The militarization of domestic law enforcement only reinforces my fears.

#1  After the ruling, the FBI had a problem collecting the devices that it had turned off, Mr. Weissmann said.

No kidding.
