Phoenix Police Raid Blogger’s Home
http://carlosmiller.com/2009/04/02/phoenix-police-raid-home-of-blogger-whose-writing-is-highly-critical-of-them/ I reiterate my previous statement regarding police. Bad/corrupt/evil police officers make up only a small percentage of most police departments.

Feasibility of a Privatized Police System

Police use GPS to Track Citizens Unconstitutionally
