The California Police State B#@&*rds. Sorry, I am a law abiding citizen but it goes way too far. A drunk evil gossip can, without any consequences, just pick up the phone and say you mistreat your kids.. kiss em goodbye cause it will be awhile before you see them again. Another example: Did you know traffic control wrote 25,000 tickets collecting over $2,000,000 of taxpayer money because people had the gall to put a For Sale sign in their own vehicle while it was parked on the street. Apparently that is a crime in California and one that is taken rather seriously. The ACLU is taking it to the California State Supreme court to try and get some relief for us on the grounds that it is unconsititutional. Looks like they are going to win too. But think about it. We have to pay our tax dollars to the government who uses them to defend a law we don't want in the first place! :/. We screwed no matter what. Did you know that just the state of California has more people in prison than any country in the world save China. That means that one state in the U.S. has more people in prison than any other entire country in the world save China (who is well known for persecuting their population). Don't get me wrong. I don't want those prisoners let out or anything if they need to be there! However, I hate big government octupuses with tentacles reaching into every area of my life.
