Stop And Frisk

[Pioneer1]

@ProfD

As we talk about laws, judges, branches of government and what is legal and what is not....we both can agree that the U.S. Constitution is suppose to supersede ALL federal and local laws, right?

The Constitutions makes it crystal clear in the 4th Amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Unless you catch them in the actual commission of a crime, for law enforcement to search ANYBODY or seize ANY property they need warrant first....regardless of any local or state laws that may say otherwise.

You don't need to be a lawyer to figure this one out.
Nor do you need judges around the country to "interpret" it or declare it legal or illegal....it's crystal clear.

Yet in New York the practice of "stop and frisk" by the NYPD was allowed for decades and probably still is allowed despite the many  "rulings" by different judges.
They're clearly playing games with these laws and using "judge rulings" as excuses for doing and allowing what they want.

Correct. We agree the US Constitution is the law of the land. Federal and state laws are written based on it.

 

Stop and Frisk is an example of a state law. If someone believes their 4th amendment right has been violated, they can try to get their case heard by higher courts.

 

The 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms.

 

Yet, some states require folks to have a squeaky clean record and pass the SAT testt with a perfect score before they can purchase a firearm. 

 

Federal and state laws do bend our constitutional rights.

In SOME cases....but in many cases, they do not.
Infact...in some  cases Federal and State law actually CONTRADICT it....and eachother!

For example, in Michigan....State law says possessing Marijuana is legal, but Federal law says it's ILLLEGAL.
Make that make sense....lol.

See, this perspective is the problem.

Not necessarily YOUR perspective because it's common and it's actually what you "supposed" to do now a days; so I'm not criticizing your advise.
But theoretically....
This perspective or position is the problem.

Why?

Because it's not a matter of someone "believing" their 4th Amendment Rights were violated....THEY CLEARLY WERE.

And for lawyers, judges, and prosecutors to even sit around discussing this and scratching their heads over it means they're playing games with the Constitution itself and not taking the legal system and foundation that this nation and it's system was supposedly built upon,  seriously.

In some cases, they down right VIOLATE the Constitution

We are a nation of laws. The system was built on federal and state rights.

That's all a part of the game i.e. the system controlling people. Only the powerful get to manipulate it.

Absolutely, but those laws shouldn't CONTRADICT eachother.
Can Satan "cast out" Satan?

How can we have a solid and stable nation when ONE law says one thing and ANOTHER law comes along stating the entire opposite?
Common sense and reason says this is nonsense and must be rectified.
However those in power leave it be....because it adds to the confusion.

And that's my point.
A system of contradictory laws so that those in power can use them to confuse people and manipulate them.

Rest assured there's no confusion among those in charge of maintaining the system.

 

Nothing changes until power is taken by any means necessary.

And they looked at me and said:

 

 

"You know the answer to that one."

Another First Lady who looks like she is in a hostage situation when standing next to her husband.

 

Vice FLOTUS Usha Vance might believe she's an honorary white woman. Kinda like former governor and UN ambassador Nikki Haley.

 

Regardless of how she identifies, Vice FLOTUS needs to blink 3 times if she wants to get away from VPOTUS. Maybe her Brown folks will come to the rescue.

They aren't going to fight White folks, even for a fellow Indian.
 

Maybe if she said "Candy Man" 3 times, he'll come walking out of the nearest restroom in a long trench coat to save the day....lol.
