War On Drugs Department

More Email From Barry Coooper

I just received another mass mailing from Barry Cooper at NeverGetBusted. Most of it is a copy of the points from FlexYourRights that he agreed with, as I mentioned at the bottom of my previous post.

Then at the end he mentions a few other things:

NEVERGETBUSTED IS WORKING ON A NEW PAGE FOR OUR WEBSITE!!!!!! The page will map the exact highways you are likely to encounter a drug interdiction officer in the U.S. and will rate their likeliness or unlikeliness of violating your 4th ammendment rights. The data will be compiled through your emails to me of your encounters with officers in your area. Please report to me any strong interdiction efforts being made in your area. Your local newspaper is a great source for this type of information. Access to this wonderful resource will be free.

Wow, this is a lot like one of the ideas I suggested in my Open Letter to Barry Cooper a few days ago. That's pretty cool!

(Unless it gets every drug interdiction officer in the country pissed off at me. That would be...not so cool. Think, then post...think, then post...)

Cooper continues:

I will be the first to submit to this project:

If you are traveling on I-20 between Tyler and Longview, TX, be aware of Volunteer Constable, [name redacted]. He frequently works this portion of Interstate and has quick access to a K-9. I personally watched a video of [name redacted] making a drug seizure after a K-9's was encouraged to FALSE ALERT. [name redacted] grade is an "F" when it comes to violating 4th amendment rights.

Yikes. Cooper sure meets these things head-on.

(I redacted the name of the officer. I'm not sure how these things work, but I don't have the name of a good libel attorney handy. Actually, I do, but he's not cheap.)

THANK GOD FOR BARRY COOPER. There are really no words that can express my appreciation, gratitude, and respect for Barry Cooper. The man speaks the truth, and is standing up for what is truly right. I wish you could come shake things up in the corrupt state of Louisiana. Please keep doing what you do Barry - people like you are very, very rare.
