“adorable” sounds condescending (no need)
“stop them” implies false dichotomy
Counter: Potential positive effects, even if incremental, are desirable, useful, and thus may be sufficient to take such actions (engraving etc.), e.g. a few:
* Awareness / reminder — to anyone who sees it, about the Fourth Amendment’s (4A) existence, and a real example use thereof.
* Appeal to moral duty — chance that a Federal officer may be reminded of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” https://archive.opm.gov/constitution_initiative/oath.asp possibly more importantly than “just following orders”, and possibly take or resist action accordingly (lots of potential positive leeway there, with small discretionary decisions)
* Normalization — the more people see a message openly citing the 4A, the more it seems normal to do so, normal to (at least attempt to) exercise the rights therein.
* Cross-support from other amendment supporters — “4A” may seem similar enough to those who see and recognize and defend “1A” or “2A” or “5A” etc. to also support and possibly propagate the support themselves.
Rejecting something because “That will [or won’t] stop them” is poor reasoning (nearly no battle is won by any particular stop or not), and frankly, a defeatist framing bordering on disuasive propaganda (like the Borg’s “Resistance is futile”)
Much more on why such reasoning is outright wrong from a practical point of view is well summarized by the alternative strategy of Defence in depth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_in_depth

8:59 timed track mile in 42F (5.6C) with #NPSF* runners. Then we made a tree. 📷 @butteronadonut #nofilter
This was a tough one. I learned a few weeks ago @nov_project_sf that I can't run very far breathing low 40s Fahrenheit air (first PR Wednesday DNF after two laps).
Despite several laps and other warmup drills this morning, I had to wear a buff covering my mouth and nose the whole time. Then I ran a mile, breathing through the buff the entire way til it slipped down when I sprinted the final straight with everything I had left.
It took me 7 minutes just to complete the first three laps, each much slower than 2 min per.
I knew that I still had a chance at a sub 2 min lap if I could focus on breathing first and picking up the pace second. I counted down every 100 on that last 400, consciously picking up the pace on each segment.
As I rounded the final curve, another guy doing his own thing on the track passed me, but not running that much faster. Somehow that helped and I picked up the pace another notch.
When I reached the final straight I already knew that fourth lap would be the fastest I'd run today. I was breathing fine so I pushed harder, kicked harder, swung my arms farther and started gaining on that mystery guy.
We had started our timed mile on even :00 seconds on a clock inside the track at the start, and I saw the seconds read :58 as I reached the finish. I heard someone yell “Made it by a second!” As I crossed the finish line.
8:59. A lot slower than my 7:23 PR. But sub-9 was my goal today and I'm happy with it. Never done a mile flat out in 42F before and that was my first since knee recovery. Small victories, but I'll take them.

Lava rocks will cut you they said. Let’s go I said. #lava #trailrun #3 #latergram #nofilter
Many people warned us not to walk on the lava fields because of how sharp the rocks were. So we ran.
Last Tuesday when fellow trail runner Gregg Lind and I came upon this trail on and through the lava fields we chose to split off from the 20 or so other #MozAloha runners and explored otherworldly landscapes while they kept to the pavement.
Two days later it rained and I missed the other runners so I ran out here again, but alone, in the rain, and got completely soaked.
Yesterday morning it was finally sunny again, and instead of going for an easy swim at the beach, I was drawn back to the challenge of these trails for a third time, and to see how much faster I could run them. Made the loop around and back in a fraction of the time.
Grateful for running the trails with #NPSF friends back home most Saturdays with #SFRC. Looking forward to more of that when I return and into the new year.
