There are alot of conservatives out there who are having a hard time dealing with increasing reports of police state issues. Some believe you should blindly obey LEO even if they are acting unconstitutionally. They live in Leave it to Beaver times. False arrests are proliferating. I was recently arrested trying to demonstrate on a median. He wanted me on the curb seated I refused. He expected me to carry my ID on my person...I was on foot. Had to get an ACLU attorney for this one. Then there was the girl jogger in Austin-she violated the signal at an intersection as a pedestrian was detained and did not hear the cops approaching her from behind. In her case the cop had probable cause and will likely succeed in avoiding litigation (he will get “qualified immunity”). Tort Reform will keep costs down for cities or govt. entities so they will never have the fear of a large sledgehammer cost lawsuit to inspire them to train their officers correctly. The pincers between Tort Reform (forced settlements) and the SCOTUS case Atwater (2001) will blossom police civil rights abuse against citizens. In Texas, the Ruling Class has successfully neutered the trial lawyers on many areas of law, capping awards, creating a judicial branch with executive authority for judges to dismiss out of hand...it will end up being a problem.Anyway here is my vid on my arrest...I DID FILM! https://vimeo.com/87769802
