Mike, How many people in this world lack common sense! A lot. We don’t arrest
for that, nor does the lack of common sense provide for 'probable cause"
to make an arrest. Why should anyone "get in trouble" for a lack of common
sense. Laws are enacted to hopefully (bit always don't) eliminate that subjective
desire to get someone in trouble. What is common sense to one, may be totally missing from another
person. It is illegal, at least in NY, to take any hand gun out and start
pointing it at people. Totally different issue
than running radar in a personal car. It is not illegal to run radar. AS I
mentioned before, if there are those who feel individuals should "get in trouble"
for running radar, then there should be a law that states such. I have no
problem with that. Regards, Fred -----Original Message----- But does it pass the common sense test? I agree, it is legal and within
our rights to possess the thing, but knowing that possession alone
could possibly get you into trouble, and knowing that you had no need to own it besides to play with it, why mount it on your car, except to
"play cop"? It just seems to me that the benefits did not weigh out well
against the trouble he got in. It's legal (with the proper permits) to carry a handgun into a crowded mall. But if you start taking it out and
pointing it at people, even if it is unloaded, your actions will be perceived by others as dangerous, and the authorities will likely
arrest you. It's not what you posses that matters, it's what you do with your possessions that do... Mike Fred Fitte wrote: > For the same reason one might stand in a Park and give a speech
