The Revolution starts now!

Fox News: Here's another way for teenagers to get in trouble with the law — text-message while in school. According to a police report posted by The Smoking Gun Web site, a 14-year-old girl in Wauwatosa, Wis., a prosperous Milwaukee suburb, was charged with disorderly conduct on Feb. 11 for repeatedly text-messaging during class. According to the report, she also repeatedly denied to school authorities and law-enforcement officers that she even had a phone on her person. It's not clear why school administrators felt they had to call the police, but the responding officer did all the dirty work — took the girl to the dean's office, questioned her, made a couple of trips to other classrooms to interview her friends. He even called her parents, though the girl didn't make that easy.
"She gave me several numbers all being false by one or two digits wrong. [Redacted] stated I was dialing the wrong numbers so On [sic] speaker phone I dialed the number she gave me and spoke with a subject who stated I had the wrong number." The girl's mother became upset when reached — and still the girl refused to admit that she had a phone. After a female officer was called to the scene, a body search revealed that the defiant teen had stuffed her handset — said to be a Samsung Cricket — down the back of her pants.
You push, and you push, and you push. You know what? It's time for us to start pushing back. Where on earth are we? Is this Russia? Cuba? It's certainly not the U.S. Arrest a girl for texting in class? Are you kidding me? I hear things like this and I want to start a militia and ignite the revolution. It's time to break down this government and start over. Too big, too powerful, too abusive. It's as simple as that. Let's arrest a 14 year old girl for texting her friend about the boy that gave her a hickey, while on her left and her right sits drug dealers. This is the absolute insanity that is our country today. I have said it before, I will say it again. At some point someone is going to start asking the right questions. Maybe something along the lines of "Where does the government get off thinking they can arrest you for this?" I tell you this, as of today, I am officially starting the revolution. Join me, fight me, text me, whatever. I will not live in a country that allows this to happen.
Let's not forget the wasted resources here either. They call in a woman cop to strip search the girl to find the phone?! So now you have two on duty cops on the case of the texting 14 year old? Again, let's start asking the right questions. "In these tough economic times where lay offs are evident, do TWO cops have nothing better to do then strip search a teenager for a cell phone? Maybe we should start with those two."
