Not to mention my banana seat, dave.
Perhaps, BHS. But they will get annihilated in the court of public opinion faster than you can shake a stick. And that’s how policies will change the fastest.

It wasn’t that long ago that throngs of hippies would stand there and call them “PIGS!!!” I guess freedom of speech is no longer a constitutional right.
How can you make recording police illegal?
