Turning the Tables

Interesting article from the Willamette Week Online. Between the drug war and the terror war you may have noticed that local and Federal cops have been expanding their search rights at the expense of your privacy. The standard reply is, "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." This is a lovely payback by a bunch of local journalists against members of their local government who support the common act of dumpster diving without a search warrant.

You see, everybody has something to hide. Whether its throwing away unwanted Christmas presents or mementos from years ago, exposing eating habits, or maybe you're just a vice cop with vices... I have no sympathy for the "victim" in this case apparently a hypocrit cop who like to use, but there is a bigger question here over what information about you is private or public.
