F*** the TSA

I agree that sometimes the course of least resistance will get you out of an investigative situation more quickly. Typically, and I can only speak for myself and fellow department members, we aren't looking to "jack" people up. I would guess that I am interested in searching less than 10% of the vehicles I stop. I will try to get into a car if I strongly suspect that there is contraband in the vehicle...especially weapons. I work in Southern California, which has a high concentration of gang members of all types, and finding guns in cars is quite a common occurrence. Drugs like meth, heroin and cocaine are often associated with crimes such as burglary, so if I find dope I also look for property in the car that might be stolen. I am not interested in finding a small amount of marijuana in a car, but rather things that pose a public safety risk. I make no apologies for using whatever legal means I can to get into the car of someone who needs to go to jail. I don't condone violating people's rights to accomplish this, but anything legal is fair game.

Typically, I suggest to people that when dealing with law enforcement to consider the "attitude test". If you are uncooperative, disrespectful or rude to an officer, it is likely you will fail the attitude test and subject yourself to that officers suspicions regarding your actions. Can some officers treat you differently for being a "jerk"...sure...but any cop with a few years on has heard it all numerous times, so the attitude will roll off their backs. When someone treats me with disrespect and demands their rights, it raises a red flag to me that there is something more than a civil rights issue here, and makes me want to look deeper. I won't violate your rights, but I will exhaust every legal avenue available to me to investigate the situation.

On the border issue, I believe this has been the case for quite a while. Here in So Cal, we have permanent border checkpoints located 40-50 miles from the actual border...if you are stopped, you can be required to prove your right to be in the U.S.

Cameo/Warlock...just an FYI...here is the reality from someone with 25 years of law enforcement experience:

Your car can only be searched or towed for cause. (the following are CA law)...

To tow your car, you either have to have been arrested, be expired for 6 months or longer on your registration, be a habitual (and unpaid) parking citation violator, be obstructing a roadway, be abandoned or have your vehicle held for evidence in a crime.

To search your car, you can be requested to voluntarily allow a search, have contraband in plain view (drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapons, etc.), be arrested and have your car inventoried for safekeeping, have a drug dog indicate from outside the vehicle that there is contraband inside the vehicle, have other probable cause evident, ie: smell of marijuana, alcohol, etc. emanating from vehicle, have search and seizure provisions attached to a person's probation and limited search if you fail to provide a driver's license on demand by an officer (search limited to areas a DL could be concealed). I am sure I have forgotten some others as well.

Miranda only applies to statements you make while:
In custody, and
being interrogated about a criminal act

If you are asked questions prior to a custodial situation, ie: DUI investigation, Miranda does not apply. If you make voluntary statements, even when in custody, they are admissible in court.

As to the TSA, I am not sure if they have federal law enforcement officer status or not. If they don't, then they can ask whatever they want without Miranda, but you don't have to answer.

I am not defending the actions of the TSA people (they often have no sense of priority or common sense when it comes to evaluating situations), but it is very typical that when someone has a large amount of cash on their person, that the likelihood of contraband being involved increases dramatically. It certainly is not unlawful to have large amounts of cash, just raises a red flag. That being said, the person was perfectly within his rights to refuse to answer questions about the money...that right would not prevent the police from be called in for further investigation.

the all-wise, all-knowing, all-seeing watchtower society peers into and explores all possibilities of thought and logic.

where did adam search for a companion?.

Manipulation as its worst

my brother has been dating this woman for 6 months.

he made it clear from the very beginning before they got serious that he would not marry her or anyone for that matter.

does not want a repeat.

tenyearsafter

Do you know for a fact that she is pregnant? The reason I ask is, that when I was single two women attempted to use the "I am pregnant" line to get me to marry them. Of course, neither was aware that I had a vasectomy several years prior to that. When I informed them of that, they got at angry at me for not disclosing that to them!!...sheesh!

Anyway, I would ask for proof that there is a pregnancy and then move forward with whatever plan of action he decides from there. If he does decide to marry her, he might want to wait until the baby is born and have a paternity test to make sure it is his. Some states have very unusual laws regarding child support and can actually make a man pay for support even if it is later found that the child is not his.

Jesus not crucified on torture stake. Impossible!

by sacolton in

unwittingly the germans, during wwii, they experimented with many, many ways for killing people, efficiently and quickly.

their records show that when a person is suspended with their hands over their head, as they would be on the jw "torture stake," they can survive for approximately one hour.

if their feet are tied down, as well, the time is reduced to about 15 minutes.. .

Reniaa...you say

1) Why did Jesus never pray using Jehovah's name...especially when he instructed his followers to address their prayers to the Father (no mention of Jehovah) in the model prayer at Matthew 6: 9-13?

I'm failing to understand the point of this question If Jesus directs us to pray to the father which is clearly identified as YHWH, he is not saying the word father but he is saying 'pray to my father'? again is this somehow trying to invalidate the hebrew scriptures and their use of YHWH?

That really isn't answering my question, it is dismissing it by asking another question. I didn't say one word about invalidating YHWH as God's name in the hebrew scriptures. I asked why Jesus never once addressed his Father by the name YHWH. Do you have scriptures that directly name the Father as YHWH?

I guess I am off point of the thread here, so I apologize, but it just is fascinating how Reniaa can avoid clear and direct answers. I think you missed your calling girl...you should have been a politician!!

Why is Jesus kept side stage ?

by iknowall558 in

john 5 :39 ' 40 "you study the scriptures, because you think that in them you will find eternal life.

and these very scriptures speak about me!

yet you are not willing to come to me in order to have life.

Reniaa...after you answer password and Isaac, please answer me two questions to satisfy my curiosity:

1) Why did Jesus never pray using Jehovah's name...especially when he instructed his followers to address their prayers to the Father (no mention of Jehovah) in the model prayer at Matthew 6: 9-13?

2) I totally understand your interest in debating your beliefs on this forum, but why would you defend the very beliefs you so strongly believe in by defying the very channel that feeds you the food you value so highly? Someone asked earlier...would you let the Elders know you regularly frequented this forum?...would you openly speak with these same individuals in person and in public view?

I personally like to see you on here because it makes things more interesting, but I really would like for you to DIRECTLY answer questions as posed to you. I look forward to your DIRECT answers!
