WHAT IS IT!

 Folks befer I start this here, story just want ta tell ya, all these stories are true. So don't think I go off on some wild, tall tale run! Ya see, they may sound far fetched an crazy. Only reason I bring this up, again this here story. Well, sounds ta crazy ta be real. This folks, happened Nevada way, near the Dakota, Arizona borders. Hell could a been either of the three. Considerin it was that close ya see they has this marker placed at tri-tip where they meet.

They all three dispute that border, so who knows folks. I'll just say it was Nevada, ifin I offend the other two, so be it! The town is called Tricity, don't know, ifin it was thoughts a grandeur, or they just wanted a fancy name. My thinkin is little a both. Wow folks, Grandeur never used that word befer. Hope that mean what I think it do, ya know bein big time. Hell like a said folks, I ain't no scholar.

This fella can't recollect his name, call him Fred. Ya see, he had this thin called a basement, hell folks just an over large cellar was all. Where it led, is a whole different story, ta be exact. I left my horse in his stable, Fred say, remember now, ain't sure of his name, just want ta get thins straight is all. Fred say, ya can take another set a steps down deeper. He say, the oddity ya'll find, will amaze me. Then the sales pitch folks, only a quarter straight. I say maybe later, where is the Constables office or the Mayor's office? I need ta check in as is proper.

Fred say left out the door, down two buildins on the right. Constables name is Jamison. I thank him an go check in as is proper. Remember folks ya must check in as soon as ya can after arrivin. Never know, ya may be needed ta solve a Law problem.

Jamison was a right nice person, no major law infractions ta be handled. Folks Jamison was a Ranger, 20 year, he had one question fer me. He say town law, has a section that he thinks. He can not enforce, it is unlawful. I asks do I need my basic law book? He nods an say, ya grab that an we a talk over a whisky. Folks I've not a problem with the whisky or talkin over, his question.

Well, gets that heavy book, near 6 inches thick an foot long folks. They is a small section in the back fer amendments. Folks they ain't been any changes in years none. That part is useless, those I have ta handwrite in. Well, his question. The Right ta Police. Is they such a section? He say never heard of it. Folks this law is old, older than our system of Governance. I say yes, an I understand ya not knowin. This law doesn't come up much.

He asks, where is it found? I say the 5th section The Right fer the Lands ta Self Governance. I say it's about the 12th article. I think folks I was a thumbin through pages, till I founds it. 14th article it was. This is how that article reads folks.

For Public Safety, Health, an Welfare, The Lands have The Rights ta temporally suspend given Rights an Liberties. Ta Keep you, the Citizen from unknowinly harmin another.

This includes, the right ta Quarantine, Stop or Limit Travel. ,Close or restrict Business, includin , schools, Restaurants, Bars or Saloons, unnecessary Manufacturing.

The Right, ta limit Gatherins, social, public, private, an religious. This can include, no movement from home, or limited movement.

See also extenuatin Circumstances, Section 22, article 9 an 12th article subsection D.

I ask, this what ya lookin fer? He say that part I understand, the part they are talkin about is makin someone a temporary Ranger. That has no authority ta be one! I say we check that section 22 then. I've never looked at it.
