When the discretion is based on who someone knows or whether they've paid for membership to a particular organization, it IS a violation. Btw, I'm in the middle of my mandatory annual training for a government contract. From the "Principles for Ethical Conduct for Government Officers and Employees" Principle 8: Employees shall act impartially and NOT give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual. So according to the training all Federal employees and contractors are required to take, giving breaks on law enforcement action based on someone's membership in a particular private organization or personal ties IS a violation of ethics rules and can be grounds for disciplinary action. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Masons only have 3 degrees... Everyone is a 3rd after being raised. This had nothing to do because of his Masonic ties. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My uncle was a high level mason and active in veteran's organizations. He had a deck of courtesy cards thicker than his wallet. He was pulled over a few times while I was with him. He always had a card from the Sheriff or the Chief. He passed this Saturday morning at 95. I miss him terribly and I'm not the only one. Masons only have 3 degrees... Everyone is a 3rd after being raised. This had nothing to do because of his Masonic ties. @Backnblack Sorry about that - I know very little about Masons. I thought someone said he was 30 something degree - That must be wrong. In any case he knew a lot of Masons and a lot of veterans everywhere I went with him. That includes up and down the east coast and far into Canada. I always figured that knowing a ton of people had something to do with that stack of cards. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I comment when I get different answers from the same profession. It seems that LE here can't even agree. For the most part, Texans don't like to walk so the pedestrian stops tend to be in certain areas where the local dislike/mistrust LE. The last time LE stopped me when I was walking was out of boredom and wanted to talk about my GSD. I live in a boring community. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Unless the system is down or it’s not a traffic stop but a pedestrian stop. Do you guys comment on other professions you have no experience with either? I comment when I get different answers from the same profession. It seems that LE here can't even agree. For the most part, Texans don't like to walk so the pedestrian stops tend to be in certain areas where the local dislike/mistrust LE. The last time LE stopped me when I was walking was out of boredom and wanted to talk about my GSD. I live in a boring community. Because different cops and agencies are all different. Maybe the question should be why you have so many interactions with police. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your right fuck it why even try to change  Our system is not the same as past nations that have failed. We the people can at least try to fix shit. But why bother why put any effort into anything we all die in the end right? Absolutely, as individuals, we can strive for better. We can try to fix it. It’s those Herculean individual efforts that have kept us afloat. I haven’t seen any indication that the general populace has any interest in fixing it. On the contrary, the seem quite content on the trajectory we are traveling. Can you provide me with any evidence that we aren’t traveling the same rocky road as those other historical superpowers? Our system really isn’t different. It’s a damn near carbon copy of the 18th Century British government, with some ideals from the Roman Republic and Greek city states thrown in. Much of our Bill of Rights can be found in various English documents like the Magna Carta. Even then we’ve strayed so far from our founding vision that it would damn near unrecognizable to the men who met in Philadelphia. How are you going to fix it? If you say voting, you’re wrong. |

I saw the back of a Orange County (CA) Sheriff's business card in the early 90's.
to paraphrase, it said that any attempt by anyone to use the card as a get out of jail card, would get taken to jail. Jay |

We are on the road, soon to drive off the cliff. Honestly I don't know how to change it. Our establishment is so entrenched that maybe we can't Your right about voting them out people will vote how cnn and fox tell them to. Best I can come up with is a low level vote swapping system with the far left. Basically we would swap a few percent of our votes with the far left. They hate politicians as much as we do. And I think a grass roots campaign could work, basically if your Gov is a Republican, on the next election cycle you would vote dem. If 2% of our side and 2% of the left did this we could easily vote out most of the politicians. Continue that cycle of constantly booting out incumbents indefinitely. If politicians can't stay in power more than 1-2 terms we loose alot of the corruption by default. This would only require 4 % of voters, I think that both sides have enough low level activists to pull this off. Think arfcom voting block and the antifa block swapping votes. Still probably wouldn't work since the gov would go after people with a vengeance. |
