A Pulaski County, Arkansas Circuit Judge was recently ousted for allegedly forcing probationers to attend Bible readings, and submit to blood tests and prostate exams (Arkansas Democrat Gazette on 2-6-2010).
For the record, I don't have a problem with probationers being forced to attend Bible readings. After all, these rascals might just learn something that could impact their life in a positive way.
I don't have a huge problem with being forced to submit to a blood test, providing the person taking my blood is a trained professional and providing some one else is paying for it.
But being forced to submit to a prostrate exam because I wrote a bad check or have one too many speeding tickets, is where I have to draw the line.
I don't think anyone should be able to stick their finger up my rear end unless I ask them to, or I'm a legitimate terror suspect. If I am a legitimate terror suspect, I think they should be able to stick anything up there that'll fit, providing there's a good chance it'll make me talk.
Ridiculous perhaps, but at least I know where I draw the line.
