Publishing regulations of any clandestine operations, be it the TSA, FBI or local police is idiotic. You might as well not have clandestine operations. Did you see the Steelers publishing their playbooks today?
You have all the right to complain, I have the right to tell you that your complaints are without merritt. Just because you think your rights are being cosntricted does not make it so no matter how loudly you scream. if this is too right wing for you please let me know, I would hate to bring in a differing point of view and ruin the echo chamber effect going on here.
Okay, you've carried the day, we don't have to publish regulations. Burn the CFR, toss into the trash the FedReg. Not sure how much tax to pay? Trust the man who shows up at your door. Unsure why you pay twice a year, but others never pay - tough, regulations are secret. And while we are at it, let us just toss the statutory codes as well. Burn the speed limit signs (don't want to give away tips as to what is unlawful conduct) and torch the libraries, lest they incite mindful debate.
Did that contribute anything to the debate? No, not really, so let's drop the rhetoric and get down to facts.
You keep saying this constriction of rights is appropriate, but you continue to refuse to say where you would draw the line. Why is that?
Finally, in all due respect and seriousness, I don't think you understand what is a regulation and the role a reg plays in American jurisprudence. They are not play books. They are not operations manuals. They do have the full effect of law and they are put forth by an agency as a means to enforce a statute or statutory obligation. If you need more guidance, I am willing to research citations about regulations to assist you.
