From the Star Telegram-

Sheriff’s deputies early Friday arrested 15 people and seized 300 “eight-liner” gaming machines in what they say is their largest raid ever on illegal gambling sites in Tarrant County.

Readers of this blog know my disdain for victimless crime enforcement. If consenting adults want to place bets there is no reason to send the police in. What exactly was the Tarrant County Sheriff keeping us safe from? Apparently, the threat of winning cash from a slot machine.

My wife and I drove from Ennis to Dallas today. Again, I was embarrassed by the proliferation of cops manning their radar guns on I-45..

Speed traps are among the lowest forms of law enforcement (TABC would also challenge for that title). I saw cops hiding under bridges, cops hiding on the access road, and cops pulling over fellow drivers (to meet their quota).

I have two problems with this speed trap nonsense. First, the speed limit on I-45 is 60 miles per hour. This is a six lane interstate highway without heavy traffic. The speed limit should be at least 70. After all, motorists want to get through Wilmer as quickly as possible. The 60 mph speed limit has no connection with safety, or with reality (I was going around sixty and being passed by almost every car).

La agregación de estos casos produce que alguien en general aconseje sobre la detención y búsqueda.

Primero, la policia le intentara y trampeara a menudo en la concesion de permisso para buscar su coche. Usted NUNCA debe de dejar la policia buscar su coche.

Por que? La policia puedo ser torcido, sus amigos pueden ser consumidores de medicinas{drogas}, y el oficial ha decidido ya que usted es un criminal.
