Check out my car (or any other recently made one) and you'll see the tint. The reasoning has to do with safety, not privacy. I don't recall any police organizations lobbying against the constitution; at least not in public. Anyway, your flames about the constitution seem actually to be a revelation concerning the vast improvements it has brought. Did you know that the profit of the Liquor (no c) Control Board of Ontario last year saved you $555 million in taxes that the province would otherwise have collected from you? Isn't it a better thing that these "taxes" are voluntary? As a matter of fact, the LCBO seems an incredibly fair way to "tax" the people, since the rich end up paying much more than the poor. >From the tone of your rantings, no wonder you feel slighted when asked what you're up to by a police officer. You'd feel slighted if (s)he was 5'4" and kissed you. :+) Goodnight, Chris. Jim.
