Postscript to Weirdness

Did the police have the right to do that?

Not that I wouldn't welcome them if someone had been brandishing a gun or something (and, for all I know they were). I do appreciate their presence and their roll.

But, I can't help but feel a reasonable expectation of a right to privacy on my own property — especially in a city as small as Kalamazoo. What if I had been on my patio — in my backyard — an extension of my house?

Having a cop pull ALL the way into my driveway (a good 50 ft. from the road) and walk across my backyard is just WEIRD. A total invasion of my space at the very least.

Ahh, city life!
