Did you ever notice how folks around here start arguing like liberals when they run out of logic?
They start denigrating your experience"
"I suspect you have lived a rather sheltered life. I also suspect that, well intentioned that you are, that you would readily abrogate your Constitutional rights to avoid confrontation."
"There's an Amen Corner here on Free Republic that says that once Americans walk out of their house, they hace NO rights."
They also like taking what you say and rephrasing it in extreme language:
"You're right, they should have Tasered her, sicced the dogs on her, shot her, then arrested her."
"So, people in pre-WWII Germany were not asked for their "papers" while traveling on public streets."
Funny, I don't recall your having made either of those statments. Sure sounds like a liberals arguments to me.
Wait for the full Story but here are some Facts...
The Police station is one block away from the incident- neither are prostitution areas.
She WAS ARRESTED.
Even though it was "dismissed" she STILL HAS a Criminal file, which, prevents her from travel to other countries- even Canada.(how can she earn a living if she photographs abroad for her lively hood?)
This is entirely different from the Nevada Case as she gave her name right away. (among many other differences)
Let us all PLEASE follow this story, because, trust me, if anything the article has been siding FOR and WITH the police.
LOL. Thanks for the support. Here is one you did not mention, post #63, maybe you did not see this one, which was one of the first:
Does the "SF" stand for San Francisco? If so, that explains a lot about your reply.
Those two posts were mine. It is accepted protocol here on Free Republic, and general mannerly behavior overall, for a poster quoting or paraphrasing another poster to address comments to them as well.
I accept your apology.
