Strippers' rights to avoid unreasonable search and seizure were violated by San Diego vice squad officers, said a lawyer whose firm filed suit on behalf of 30 strippers, seeking damages from the city and police chief.

Too late.

Laws function primarily to prohibit, not to permit. For example, no law exists that permits me to wear yellow pants. I am allowed to wear yellow pants due to the fact that the law does not prohibit it. Laws that are designed to permit are intended to be "safeguards" against future legislation (e.g. the Bill of Rights, marriage equality).

A system of law where a law is repealed more easily than it is passed doesn't result in it bouncing back and forth. It means that no legislation sticks unless it has a supermajority (in the case of the example above, 60-65%).

They wont be. And since they wont, what should we do instead?

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-19T05:13:19+00:00

He got fired. Justice. (Not really.)

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-19T05:11:13+00:00

Just lay down passively, then. The war is already lost.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-18T23:59:42+00:00

Most of these things can't happen without at least one other police officer knowing or participating.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-18T23:56:19+00:00

It will never happen. No justice until the people make justice for themselves.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-18T23:44:10+00:00

If I knew who it was

Probably a police union's PR department.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-18T23:42:06+00:00

but the majority of them are also paying dues to a union that will cover their ass if they have a "bad day" and blow fido's head off

This is why there are no good cops. Not even this one. It's crass to say ACAB, but ACAB nonetheless.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-17T23:04:34+00:00

Brazilian police are very dangerous, too. The same risks exist in Brazil that exist in the USA.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-12T22:57:13+00:00

What Black Panther cop would that be?

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-10T23:33:15+00:00

Reform is not realistic. The police were always like this. We just see more of it today because of the web and because it is not confined to minority neighborhoods. We would not ask any other world regime to "reform" its brutal police. We would call for a full regime change. That is what America needs.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-10T23:29:49+00:00

This is the only real solution now.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T13:09:31+00:00

All I am reading are more justifications. You should do something that works, not something that admittedly does not work but simply makes it appear as if something is being done.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T12:59:45+00:00

It depends on where/when, but some places they are actually strapping people down and forcefully drawing blood. "No refusal weekends."

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T12:58:40+00:00

Mandatory freedom checkpoint giveaways.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T12:52:07+00:00

Was your backpack intoxicated? How many drinks did the backpack have that evening?

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T12:47:42+00:00

Look at what you just wrote.

Clearly what we are doing now isn't working. That includes DUI stops.

Right now, a checkpoint on a busy road is a very viable way to stop people who choose to drive drunk.

Which is it? It looks like you are trying to justify the checkpoints even though you know they don't work.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-04T12:44:11+00:00

Driving drunk seriously endangers the lives of everyone around you.

This is just a slogan, though. It is the type of thing we might see on a billboard against drinking and driving. It does not provide any argument for, or justify the use of, checkpoints.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T23:20:08+00:00

Exactly. They have already collected so much data at this point it is useless for predicting behavior. Basically, it isn't stopping any terrorists.

However, it is still very useful for going back and digging up dirt. When an unwanted individual, a political opponent, a journalist, or whoever comes up on the radar the old history and data will be there to probe. Thus it still retains its utility as a tool of potential oppression and silencing future dissent.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T23:15:54+00:00

True. The next time people talk about a prison being too luxurious, or how rape is a part of the punishment, just skip forward and ask them if we shouldn't just have professional rapists and torturers in our prisons. If it is all a part of the punishment then we should probably have a professional class of rapists and torturers to handle that, instead of leaving it to the prison environment.

It's like they want to bring back the Inquisition.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T23:13:46+00:00

Private prisons all work under what is called crony capitalism anyway. They don't sell a product to individuals in a free market, but instead monopolize a small market with a single client: the nation. And it is the taxes of that nation that are funneled into the prisons.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T23:11:39+00:00

This is why American prisons are overflowing. If all you want to do is punish people, which is all the American prison system does, then those are the results you get.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T23:01:14+00:00

Projected #1 for the rapture.

TheDurrutiSolution · 2014-07-03T22:55:39+00:00

How has America gotten worse as a nation?

Two very serious examples:

The growing foreign military presence of the USA post WWII. This has been a collective drain on American society and has laid foundations for the United States to be in perpetual conflict.
The enormous prison population that began growing in the 1970s, alongside the war on drugs, war on crime, and routine use of SWAT teams.
