REMEMBER TO PAY YOUR PARKING TICKETS

The other day I saw a story on the internet about the use of SWAT teams to deliver arrest warrants. What concerned me the most was there liberal use - I mean they were being used to serve warrants for about every charge one can imagine. So my advice to my friends and enemies alike - make sure you pay your parking tickets.

The article was written by Paul Craig Roberts who has fairly conservative credentials, worked in Reagan Administration, but of late seems to be into conspiracty theories - 9/11 and opposed to the Iraq/Iran War. Here is the link: http://tyrannyalert.com/800.html

Some interesting excerpts:

- American police forces have called out SWAT teams 40,000 or more times annually.
- They were serving routine warrants to people who posed no danger to the police or to the public.
- In the U.S. today, 75-80 percent of SWAT deployments are for warrant service.
- Today 17,000 local police forces are equipped with military equipment .
- Idle SWAT teams due to a paucity of hostage or other dangerous situations
- SWAT teams serve warrants by breaking into homes and apartments at night while people are sleeping, often using stun grenades and other devices to disorient the occupants.

So friends remember to pay your parking tickets immediately!
