This is why my conservative friends and I increasingly distrust the police

And of course the political lawyers who are bribed to pass such venal laws.  There was a time when to be Conservative was to be for 'law and order'.  Well that time has long since passed.  Our police: just bureaucrats with guns.  H/T Carpe Diem

Orlando Sentinel -- "As many as 14 armed Orange County deputies, including narcotics agents, stormed Strictly Skillz barbershop during business hours on a Saturday in August, handcuffing barbers in front of customers during a busy back-to-school weekend.

It was just one of a series of unprecedented raid-style inspections the Orange County Sheriff's Office recently conducted with a state regulating agency, targeting several predominantly black- and Hispanic-owned barbershops in the Pine Hills area.

In "sweeps" on Aug. 21 and Sept. 17 targeting at least nine shops, deputies arrested 37 people — the majority charged with "barbering without a license," a misdemeanor that state records show only three other people have been jailed in Florida in the past 10 years."

Josh Barro explains why this is a natural and inevitable consequence of the leftist regulatory state. 

And when everything is against the law, then everyone is a criminal. So this is how liberty dies, one job, one career, one freedom at a time. And we are nearer death than we can possibly believe.
