can’t government get it through their collective head, and understand the basic tenant that they continually impoeded liberty.
The local government might rather have made it a VOLUNTARY program with some incentives attached, say, a 1/2% reduction of business taxes for participating owners.
EVERY government program is subject to abuse and fraud.

As a society, we seem willing to grant the authorities leeway in areas of public safety. When we grant the government authority to make only minor encroachments on liberty, we are giving the thumbs up to any broader encroachments that come with the eventual expansion of that power.

The time for the residents of Cedar Falls, was back in 2004. No doubt, the members of the community probably paid the issue no mind, because the ordinance applied to others, and not to themselves.

The power of government is black and white. What the government has the authority to do to others today, they have the authority to do to you in the future.

trying to find the right key as opposed to just busting down the door.

This just proves that the majority of people who run for office are idiots.

What’s next, the quartering of law enforcement or military in our homes? Any American who supports or adheres to this should be ashamed of themselves and should not be allowed to call themselves an American! The sheep keep lining up for the slaughter.

If I’m on fire, I’m ok with the FD breaking down my door.

Coffee, soft drinks, finger sandwiches & cookies mandatory. Sleep over provisions, bathroom privileges and financial consideration for Department inconvenience, also to be required.
Bowing and other forms of supplication will not be required Mayor states, “after all, we are a free country”.

Cedar Falls is a liberal college town, but a couple of those members might loose their election on Novemember 8th.

Just creepy! It does matter what a large part of the population thinks. It will particularly matter when election time comes around.

Now, the criminals only have to steal one key, one time, to have free access to every apartment and business in town.

Lovely.

Before retiring I was involved with operatiog some rather large retail chains and whenever this issue arose we simply put a old unused key in the lockbox. Lots better than fighting city hall and raising suspicions about firefighters’ integrity.

either through health (or medical care) or safety (where helmets, yadda) and if we keep accepting those propositions, the redistributionists will NEVER have an end of ways to help us get improved by progressive standards.

“wear helmets”–it comes from teaching too many students who think green is grene.

if 1 master key goes missing does everyone then have to change their lock?

If this is not insanity…??

I think it was, “If you want, you can give us a key and we’ll use it if your alarm goes off. It the alarm goes off and we don’t have a key, we’ll just break a window. Your choice.”

Michigan’s ‘Financial Martial Law’ in Action – Benton Harbor Emergency Manager Strips Power from Elected Officials. . .

Both fought for by republican administrations, both egregious violations of our constitutional rights, both apparently fine with the republicans that supported them. . .

You conservatives were utterly unconcerned with the Bush presidency that gave itself unlimited powers in an unlimited war: the power to seize citizens and non-citizens at will without due process under emergency laws, the power to torture victims to procure rationales for future warfare and retroactive casus belli, and the power to ransack anyone’s private property. You were all oh, so blind to these tactics used to circumvent the constitution because they were essential for national security.

Now you’re here squalling over whether or not the fire dept. should have a key for multi dwelling buildings.

You people have no common sense. . .

Does their ax and feet not work anymore?
