"At what cost ? How many civil rights are you willing to give up in the name of a few less murders each year ? Are you perfectly willing to be stopped by the police on a block-by-block basis and forced to show identification and traveling papers , all the while the officers on location are pointing their guns right at your head , ready to blow you away at the first sign of a twitch or if you display even a hint of hesitation to comply ?

Do you favor the use of physical and mental torture to force convictions even from the innocent ?"
