I agree! So welcome to the New World. Where at checkout counters 60-year
old citizens have to show identity to buy beer or cigarettes because 'we ID
all purchasers.' Where 'safety stops' assume everyone driving on the road is
a law-breaker one way or another until all the proper papers and certificates
are shown. Where, during hunting season I must remove all ammo from my
truck gun because F&G can stop me on a public road, inspect my weapon and
if finding it not empty, consider it prima facie evidence that I am 'hunting from
a public road' and issue me a ticket and fine.
My opinion, these school exercises are just preparation for the
Big Brother world they are entering. A world where LEO's are on one side and
us 'civilians' are considered 'possible suspects' on the other. It is indeed a
terrible way to treat any group of people and is definitely intentionally
disrespectful to us all.
