Had it been a boy missing, I bet they wouldn't have devoted half as much effort.

I consider it one of my better moments of control. not sure what would have happened if he had decided to carry out his little threat.

As far as the rest of it....say hello to the future my friends! Big Gov means less privacy. It doesn't matter WHAT party is in control....because absolute control....well ....you know the rest
Agree 100%.

However, the best answer is probably this:

Officer, please back down, and go secure your warrant. I will secure my dogs, and we will be safely out of your way when you return.

Don't know if I could keep it cool enough to say that, and not react badly instead.

I hear ya and just to be clear I was talking about if he had actually shot my dog...when I knew I had done nothing wrong at all.

For him just making the threat...yes I would have had to excercise control as you did.

PC,

As for the blanket searches of homes...I'm without words.

I'd probably move to where that doesn't happen.

Immediately.

Where?

Seriously, I can't think of a place where this couldn't / wouldn't happen.

We have the right to say no. Intimidation and lack of explanation is used in order to wheedle compliance. It isn't a fait accomplis.
