Legal smeegal. The law is what the cops say it is. As a cop told me in 1973 “You’re guilty if I say you’re guilty.” The cops have been out of control for a long time. And I’ll bet you’ll be hard pressed to find one who has ever read one word of the constitution.
It’s like that little Nazi d-bag said to Santilli at Bundy Ranch: “Your constitution doesn’t apply out here on the dirt! Your constitution will be decided from jail!” And these little Brownshirt Fascists believe it.
