... from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, *"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" Trump's Gestapo has been told they don't need no stinkin' warrants. Or any reason at all, for that matter. It's alla 'bout the numbers! Just keep yer damn quotas up! Bust people for blinking if you have to! Yer spozta be terrorizin' people, not worryin' about what's legal!
