The article doesn't say the chief is limiting his service to his jurisdiction. Maybe he'll make a courtesy house inspection for you if you ask him real nice, J.J.<br />
<br />
I wonder if he's pandering to the loonier libtards, or if the BPD is going to start getting a lot of calls from "burner" cell phones that trigger searches ("... upon arriving at the location and innocently knocking on the door we smelled marijuana and/or saw people fleeing out the back door in a suspicious manner, so we searched and found a meth lab..."), or while he was at the last police convention and some other top cop jokingly dared him to hold a press conference and ask for volunteers.<br />

[font=times new roman,times,serif]Well Snidely if I was so foolish as to give my fourth amendment rights what happens if they find daily pill (M T W T F S S) dispenser and then I can't produce the RX for that. Illegal drugs, and maybe to many weapons and/or ammunition and on and on. Wonder if people stupid enough to buy in to this one realize that they could lose (have confiscated) homes, vehicles, etc. [/font]<br />
<br />
[font=times new roman,times,serif]Seems like the BPD along with the attorney general up there could be splitting up a bunch of proceeds from confiscated items.[/font]<br />
<br />
[font=times new roman,times,serif]Yeah he's just trying to help out. [/font]

You should keep a search kit near your front door.<br />

[font=times new roman,times,serif]Okay, I'll bite. What's a search kit?[/font]

A small box with half a dozen hand grenade pins.<br />
<br />
When Homeland Security or the FBI or ATF or IRS ring the doorbell and insist on searching, you thank them for coming, hand the box to the person with the warrant and tell them your crazy friend was off his meds while visiting last week and told you he hid the grenades around the house. Inform the officer that you'll wait across the street and ask him/her to be very careful when opening things or moving furniture.<br />

Sorry to inform everyone, but Beloit Police Chief Norm Jacobs will not be searching homes for illegal guns.<br />
<br />
http://www.beloitdai...8f04fd5075.html<br />
<br />
"Amidst backlash from the public, the Beloit Police Department withdrew its offer to inspect homes for illegal firearms about a week after it announced the program."<br />
<br />
"Jacobs said he hoped the program would give the community an opportunity to address the violence seen in the city this year. The city has experienced 51 shots fired incidents and six of the eight homicides this year were gun related."<br />
<br />
"The police did recover one gun during a voluntary inspection, Jacobs said. The homeowner was aware of the firearm and wanted it removed from the home, Jacobs added."<br />
<br />
"The program was voluntary and written consent from the property owner was needed before any search would be conducted."<br />
<br />
<sarcasm>So, another great local government program falls due to the noise of a few nattering nabobs of negativism (aka those conservatives who bitterly cling to their guns and Constitution).</sarcasm><br />
<br />
Seriously, I wonder when enough Americans will realize (and publicly admit) that the "War" on drugs was an even bigger mistake than Prohibition and end it? Legalize the drugs, regulate and tax them, and end the profit motive for the violent behavior of the pushers, gangs, and cartels. I also wonder how many law enforcement agency managers would resist ending the "war" because it would result in budget cuts and loss of Federal (free money!) funding? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbdown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbdown:' /><br />

I was hoping this would keep going. In the last 2 years, drive bys and fights involving guns have expanded from the "hood" in Beloit to most of the city. Most of these low life wannabee gang members have no income and live with older parents or grandparents. These people have kids and kids friends coming and going and leaving guns, drugs, stolen merchandise in their homes.<br />
I'm sure, all of us would clear out these types, related or not. That isn't the case with everyone. I don't believe most Police are out to "get" us. A simple phone call to the P D, could rid their home of contraband and possibly some neer-do-wells.
