L.A. County Libertarian Examiner A Houston man has been charged with alleged "unlawful carry of a weapon" after he and his girlfriend were pulled over by Houston Police earlier this month. Stark gun rights advocates, the Houston couple decries the treatment they received by public servants despite doing absolutely nothing wrong. Supporters of Congressman Ron Paul during the 2008 presidential campaign, Matt and Lisa are wondering if they ought to move to New Hampshire to join the free state project. The evening started innocently enough, with an uneventful trip to Walmart. The family dog, a three month old terrier named Ginger, was sick, and they went to pick up some suppplies. Almost as soon as they hit the street, the police turned on their lights to stop them; Matt pulled over in a hospital parking lot off Hwy 59. The officer didn't tell the couple why they were stopped, but he made the driver get out of the vehicle and conducted a body search. The officer then found a pill on the driver's seat. "The big, fat sweaty cop flew off the handle, screaming "what is this, what is this?" & told me to put my hands on the dash, in fact screamed it", Lisa recalled. "Needless to say, the guy is a complete **** . I put my hands on the dash because I didn't want to get shot, not tonight anyway." In reality, it was a prescription pain pill for a leg injury Matt had, so the drug bust of the century was not to be found in this car. Matt recalls, "the cop found the pill on my seat and was going to charge me with that. After searching my car, he found the prescription bottle for it in my center console so his big "drug case" went to hell." A second officer arrived on the scene and tried to make small talk with Lisa, while Matt was placed in handcuffs and put in the squad car. The first cop then came back and asked Lisa where the couple had been going. She told him she didn't have to answer any of his questions, and was subsequently placed in handcuffs herself and removed from the vehicle. Police searched her purse without cause and then proceeded to search the car without consent from the occupants. Standing approximately seven feet away, Lisa saw the officer find the loaded gun under the seat. [Article continues here

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
Houston cops are about as bad as they come. Avoid at all cost.
Sounds like an illegal search to me!
Harris County in general is worthless.
