Filed under Proper Role of Government.
This reminds me of the Rochester 9-12 debates (Congressional, Senatorial, and Gubernatorial) where the attendees / voters knew the Constitution better than the candidates:
4. U.S. Citizens Have No Obligation To Answer Questions. Ultimately, the cops let me go, because there was nothing they could do. A returning U.S. citizen has an obligation to provide proof of citizenship, and the officer has legitimate reasons to investigate if she suspects the veracity of the citizenship claim. A U.S. citizen returning with goods also has an obligation to complete a written customs declaration. But that’s it. You don’t have to answer questions about where you went, why you went, who you saw, etc.
Of course, if you don’t, you get hassled.
But that’s a small price to pay to remind these thugs that their powers are limited and restricted.
Be informed – and know more than "they" do no matter the situation; it ticks "them" off so very well…
Gee, maybe the Eldest fits this mold, too!
