Years ago I remember Cara Jennings brought up the possibility that the police were over-stepping their authority and that they needed to go through proper channels for search and seizure, etc. Of course, her political enemies went wild with that one calling her anti-police and at the same time hurling the dreaded "A" word...anarchist. Now I have to wonder if she didn't have an eye into the window of the future. More and more police atrocities are being reported. Are we becoming a police state? Are they really using hollow point bullets? Shoot first and ask questions later?
WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah began reporting the trend to militarize the police in 1998 and not too many people were paying attention, I for one. We even have Cpt. Silva in FBI training right now.
The biggest danger we face is the federalization and militarization of all law enforcement. Interagency task forces, bringing together local and state police with federal agents are now the rule of the day,” Farah noted. “Federal agencies bribe local cops with funding, equipment and training programs.
The challenge to the Fourth Amendment generated by the use of SWAT teams and no-knock warrants is likely to continue as a result of a ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court in 2011. I still can't forget the Chamber and Ramiccio calling SWAT on us for petitioning downtown.
In a 3-2 ruling, the court ruled that there is no right for a private citizen to resist illegal entry by a police officer. The court stated in its ruling “that there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers.”
As it's something to think about and an eye opener as police home invasions have increased from 3,000 a year in the 1980's to 80,000 a year now. It's a NO knock policy with way too many mistakes. Innocent people are getting killed and their homes being destroyed while bypassing the 4th Amendment
What do you expect. This is the progression. Obama is spying on everyone who is not a Dem.
ReplyDeleteway to bring in Silva on this subject, good one
ReplyDeleteTo the anonymous poster who said read the Greater Bay depositions and see where Cara called herself an anarchist----why should I? I'm not wasting my time reading that stuff. She always said she was an anarchist, and so what? She declared that BEFORE she was elected the first time. I just don't happen to believe that she was as anarchists are anti-government. With her being a commissioner, an elected official in government, it does not make sense. I think she liked calling herself that--it was sexy or something--as she did stand up for causes that were much bigger than herself. She was for the environment and against government abuse.
ReplyDeleteCrime is up. Where's the cops? FBI training.
ReplyDelete"In its grant application to DHS, the police department said New Hampshire's experience with terrorism "slants primarily towards the domestic type," and said "the threat is real and here."
ReplyDelete"Groups such as the Sovereign Citizens, Free Staters and Occupy New Hampshire are active and present daily challenges," the application stated. In addition to organized groups, it cited "several homegrown clusters that are anti-government and pose problems for law enforcement agencies."
"Chaffee called that language "alarming.""
"Concord is poised to accept $258,000 in federal funding to buy an armored vehicle that police say would provide protection for officers and civilians alike during a terrorist attack, riot or shooting incident."
"But Devon Chaffee, executive director of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, said the national ACLU is concerned about the "militarization" of police departments across the country."
