ACLU Sues Over Trooper Enforcing Law

Stop The ACLU ^ | 2-Dec-06 | John Stephenson

Another typical race card, pro-illegal immigration over-reaction by the ACLU.

The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the State Police seeking the release of a videotape that shows a traffic stop involving illegal immigrants.

The videotape shows the first five minutes of a 70-minute stop on Interstate 95 in July by a trooper who pulled over a van with 14 Guatemalan immigrants after the driver failed to use a turn signal.

Trooper Thomas Chabot detained the 14 people and brought them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in Providence, where they now face deportation. An internal investigation reported that Chabot acted appropriately.

"The ACLU, in a statement, said there are questions, including "why the trooper, who was on speed radar patrol, chose to leave his post to pull over the driver of this particular vehicle, whose only infraction was failing to use a turn signal, not speeding."

Hey officer, I know I was taking a swig of whiskey with one hand and shooting an Uzi out the window with the other, but I was under the limit and I can clearly see that you were running a speed trap. The ACLU says you have to let me go.

thge executive director of the aclu in rhode island is steven brown,a venemous little rodent who has what looks like pubic hair on his misshapen little head-this scumbag lives in barrington,a wealthy suburb where the only minorities he ever sees are those who come there to clean houses and babysit-he is a prime example of a limousine liberal-he likes people to think he's an attorney-he doesn't say he is,but for many years he let people make that assumption-i challenged him on this on a radio talk show and he admitted all he has is a bachelor's in public administration-the trooper was backed up by the governor,don carcieri and the state police cleared him of any wrongdoing-the governor said he shoul've gotten a commendation

this is about attorney's fees.

The ACLU uses intimidation via the attorney fee clause for their civil right suits. If we really want to end these nuisance law suits we have to literally take away the nourishment of the lawyers.


Take ways the burden of the threat of the attorney fee clause and the ACLU will evaporate.

NO MONEY=NO ACLU

[longtermmemmory]

The ACLU specifically DOES NOT care. In fact they see themselves as specifically outside public opinion.

This is about attorney fees.

Take away the award of attorney fees for plaintiffs. The ACLU gets attorneys' fees WIN OR LOSE! Its the way the law is written. The city could win but STILL have to pay off the ACLU "just because"!

[FlashBack]

An internal investigation reported that Chabot acted appropriately.
An investigation of the ACLU shows that they do not act appropriately!!!!!
Cut off all their funding so they whither up and cease to exist!

[oldenuff2no]

Take the ACLU to the nearest cement wall, line them up and give them a blindfold. That would be justice.
The ACLU does more to destroy this country than all of the other terrorist organizations put together.

[lndrvr1972]

Well, for one ACLU has hamstringed all ways of stopping drug trafficking is the reason they have to stop a vehicle for such stupid reasons.
They are the problem we are seeing now and they want to bitch about the situation for finding out who is in this country illegaly?

[steamroller]

amen to that brother!!

[FreedomFighter78]

That is 100% incorrect. There is no law anywhere that allows plaintiffs, ACLU or otherwise, to collect attorney's fees regardless of who wins the lawsuit. They can only collect if they win.
