And now I just found this
So now a single police officer has the power to go up to a door.
And even if the dog smells nothing and the officer pretends it did, the responsibility now lays in the single officer so if he is corrupt the buck stops at the officer.
I dont think we should be putting ourselves in this situation.
There is now an easier means for a cop to enter your house unwarented.

And now we also have the seatbelt check program in wich cops can pull you over for simply to check if you have a seatbelt on.
So what is a Police state? Can we compare it to totalitarian virtues?
totalitarian police state = "Anything that threatens the oppressive state is attacked, even people who talk about the idea of protecting our liberties.
and so we have House bill HR1955.
totalitarian police state = "The Leader can use troops (not police) to suppress public demonstrations."
and so we have the John Warner Defense Authorization Act
totalitarian police state = "The Leader's fascist goons will condemn democracy and argue that the Leader should be made "president for life".
and so we have continuity of government for just the President laws in place wich can be used but not for any other portion of the government. Continuity of government plans needed to be created asap for all branches of government.
totalitarian police state = "The Leader rules by decree or by the A-OK of a rubber-stamp Congress. The rubber-stamp legislature always acts to protect the Leader. "
and so democratic leaders Pelosi and Reid have repeatedly said they will block any attempt to impeach either criminals George W. Bush or Dick Cheney.
Democratic leaders Pelosi and Reid recently gave Bush the ability to perform unlimited spying on US citizens.
totalitarian police state = "The Leader and his henchmen must never subjected to criminal prosecution or otherwise held accountable for their crimes."
and so Condi Rice committed treason by sharing state secrets with Israel but she'll go Scot free for sure. Pitt Law's Jurist story 2007-10-30.
George Bush has permitted his convicted henchman Lewis Scooter Libby to avoid prison and has threatened to pardon him.
Bush and Cheney committed numerous felonies before spying on Americans was legalized by the rubber-stamp Congress. They should be impeached, tried, and incarcerated.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who has been caught lying to Congress, seems to be getting away with his crime.
Totalitarian police state = "You can't travel freely within the country."
and so over 100,000 Americans have been put on terrorist "watch lists" and thereby prevented from travelling freely on airplanes. Do you personally thing there is 100,000 terrorists in America?
Totalitarian police state = "Citizens are stripped of basic rights."
and so Bush has removed the 5th Amendment to the Constitution.
Most or all of the Constitution's Amendments have been nullified by the USA/PATRIOT acts I and II, under the pretext that some citizens might be terrorists.
Totalitarian police state = "The Regime pins the label of "terrorist" on any person who disagrees with them or who questions the corporations or key players that support the fascist state."
and so members of the group Earth Liberation Front (ELF) found themselves being accused of being terrorists merely for the crime of arson, and despite the fact that the public could not even remotely feel terrorized by the defendants' private acts of misguided vandalism. (I do not promote arson but calling vandalismn terrorism is trickery of words to condition people)
Totalitarian police state = "Road blocks for inspections everywhere."
and so all you gotta do is look above. Road blocks by army have been tested out in Texas. Colorado motorists were outraged that at a highway checkpoint, a private company was demanding blood and saliva samples
Totalitarian police state = "Guns will be confiscated, since an armed citizenry is a risk to dictatorial rule. The criminal Administration will use deadly force if necessary to remove guns."
and so we get what happend in New Orleans.
Totalitarian police state = "The right to a fair trial will be removed."
and so we have the Military Commissions Act.
Totalitarian police state = "Key players in previous totalitarian or police state regimes are hired to take part. "
and so Homeland Security has hired a former KGB general Yevgeni Primakov and the former head of the Stasi secret police Markus Wolfe.
Totalitarian police state = "Torture is allowed (of its own citizens and internationally) and former torturers are given amnesty. The Leader shows a preference for torture, and tells gullible legislators he is against it while he continues to do it."
and so Bush has been exposed as having lied to Congress (which is a felony) when he said he was against torture and intending to stop it, when all along he was quietly ordering it to continue. The Bush Administration has been arguing they can torture terror suspects for some time now, for instance at Abu Graib prison and at Guantanamo. But thishas now been made legal due to the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and past torture is deemed to have been legal.
Totalitarian police state = "The Leader criminalizes dissent."
and so Bush has recently criminalized the anti-war movement. He passed an executive order that uses overly vague language to essentially say that "certain persons" who oppose his failing Iraq war can have all their possessions "blocked" and their finances frozen, rendering them essentially penniless and homeless.
Totalitarian police state = "The government clamps down on what the free press can print."
and so Bush has prevented the New York Times from printing a complete version of a commentary about Iran by an intelligence worker, despite that document having been cleared as not sensitive by the CIA.
Totalitarian police state = "The Leader, recognizing that the middle-class and poor are the enemies of fascism, launches attacks against them."
and so Bush and his henchmen have joyfully used mass importation of foreign workers to attack the job prospects of poor Americans as well as white collar workers. While anti-war protests are ignored by the media and responded to with legions of cops in riot gear, mass protests by illegal foreign workers are allowed and widely covered in the media.
