          CRIMINALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, a Minnesota factory worker said, enough 
is enough. His cabin was ripped off three times. His neighbors' cabins 
continue to be ripped off. The police said they could do nothing.
  So Lenny Miller booby-trapped his cabin and busted the burglar red-
handed. And guess what? Some bust. Lenny Miller is going to jail with a 
$12,000 fine. And the burglar is getting free health care.
  Beam me up. Something is wrong, Mr. Speaker, when Americans cannot 
protect their own property and when criminals have more rights than 
law-abiding citizens.
  There is one bright side. I yield back the fact that in Wisconsin 
there will not be many cabins ripped off this year thanks to Lenny 
Miller.
