"Most police house searches 'illegal'
Thursday, June 5, 2008

Ruling: Lord Justice Pill
Police forces could face a flood of compensation claims after judges ruled that most of their property searches over at least the past 20 years were illegal.

Officers wrongly assume they only need to believe – rather than prove – that a property is linked to a suspect in order to search it, appeal judges said."

I still have a little faith in the judiciary here.

Read the piece. My conclusion - next up: expanded house search powers. Like clockwork...

Re: Here come the safe deposit box raids

...I went to grocery store the other day and bought yogurt, cream cheese, and bananas and total bill was less than 8bonars, and I put in my credit card and check out girl asked to see my ID. I've shopped at that store for years and NEVER have been asked for ID. I got to thinking about it: I must have looked like a crook or at least someone the clerk did not believe should have a credit card.

I agree: "don't look too good, nor talk to wise."

...and pay cash for groceries and gas so nobody asks for ID or needs to know who you are?

For some time, a couple of years, I have taken to shopping at Goodwill Industries (actually wife does it since she likes to shop) and except for this past weekend, I've have not bought any unused clothes in 2-4 years at least, probably 4 years and excluding shoes. I also have taken to not throwing away anything I wear until it is really worn out, you know, frayed and holes in it. For about 9 months now, I have stopped shaving at all, so my beard is rather scroungy looking to say the least (though I do trim it)--wife is wonderful in that though she bitches at me, hasn't (so far) threatened to leave.
