I don't think it's too much of a joke. I've been witness to this
"multi-jurisdictional" task force of sorts. I-540 from south
Fayetteville, to almost Winslow. Springdale city PD cruisers pulling
over vehicles on the highway. Folks---the city limits of Springdale
is some 30 miles away! Fayetteville Pd have also taken part. That
city limits is approximately 8-10 miles away. And Washington county
sheriff officers are taking part as well which they have a right to,
usually supervised by one visible State Trooper in the region. I used
to see a trooper every now and then on the highway---now--it's almost
every day. I've seen several of them doing traffic stops in the city
limits of Fort Smith, and likewise, city cops doing highway patrols.
Something is different, and I've even called two State Police
headquarters inquiring. They don't have any idea what I'm talking
about. Practice or harassment? At times when the economy is
suffering, gas prices keep going higher----and all of the sudden law
enforcement decides it's time to suppress the masses? Folks---it's
the same way you teach a dog---conditional training. Getting us used
to control. Think about it some more. Some of it may be B.S., but
you need to see the big picture. The mandatory national ID has been
put off until December of 2009. I don't think they'll be delaying it
any longer than that. Will you be ready for what goes down?
