@lpi223 Being a smart ass should not be an arrestable offense.
You should not have to treat officials as demi-gods to avoid trouble.

Mr. Lawson, You have my respect for standing up for your beliefs and for what is right. I admire your willingness to go the extra mile, so to speak, for liberty and for your constitutional rights. Why are most Americans so passive in these times? I am worried about what I'm seeing happening in America, especially since the Patriot Act is now the cover used to usurp the rights of American citizens. "Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty." -Thomas Jefferson

How can he read a business card if he can't read a badge? Are these people so ignorant that they believe bieng free of searches will actually make them free? So these people will be the biggest complainers if an Amtrak train was threatened because there are no more searches. Pleeeeeeaese shut up foolish ones and let yourself be searched.

So he needs to have a hotel reservation in order to make it okay that he's traveling? Maybe he's staying at the house of a friend or relative in NY. Maybe he just didn't want to tell a stranger all about his personal business.

safeboat079, Thats irrelivant as to why he was goin to NY. thats his business. There was NO reason for them to even stop this man and search him? doesnt matter WHY he is going to NY. they still need a REASON to stop this guy.

Sounds to me like you are a complete smart ass and pissed off the wrong people. Its people like you that make these cops act a little more aggressive. lets face it they are just people. And why whould you just "take a train to NY" with out a hotel reservation, from New Mexico? Sounds a little funny to me.
welcome to the ever increasing police state white black red yellow they dont care.
We must restore order to our constitutional republic.

Plain clothes DEA guys often stop and talk to Amtrak passengers. Get folks talking. Then bust them for something. But, the DEA guys ought to follow court guidelines that do not include busting folks for requesting to know just who is this blue jean T-shirt guy who is demanding compliance with their demands. We'll see what happens. Visit the Edward Lawson website for updates.
