The same people who scream to get "guns off the street" make sure it can't be done.
These are the same people who thought it was just fine to bug Trump Tower and entrap General Flynn, etc.
Now you know why $0R0$ supports these incompetent ghettopotmus District Attorneys...................
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The Fourth Amendment applies to all citizens equally.
Police do not have a right to search your car because you have a cracked taillight. They must have a reasonable articulable suspicion and provide you with that suspicion.
“Go get a warrant. I’ll wait.” Make sure that whoever swears out the warrant under oath can describe exactly where the contraband you’re looking for is located. It is not within your authority to tear my car apart hoping to find something.
And if you do tear it apart, you’re darn sure putting it back together again.
45 shot with 8 fatalities this weekend and this is what she is worried about.
Unleashing crime? How dare you imply Democrat plantation workers are criminals!
Reining in cops that use pre-text stops to search vehicles?
I’m all for it.
Stop me for speeding, write my ticket and send me on my way.
Don’t make small talk.
I won’t answer your questions.
If you say you smell anything illicit coming from my car, I’ll ask you for your morning’s “nose calibration certification”.
Because I’m certain there isn’t anything illicit in my car.
I do believe pre-textual tarry-stops are a violation of rights.
Sometimes. even the most self-serving politician does something worthwhile.
I beleive Foxx is the same woman who refused to prosecute 2 rival bang members who shot at each other in stopped traffic, a person was murdered, plenty of video showing the whole thing p,us eyewitness account from an off duty cop
Her excuse was “it was mutual combat” and “there isn’t enough evidence to get a conviction.
Lo4i Lightfoot of all people was stunned by her refusal to prosecute
She must need to keep guns and drugs on the street.
DAs that won’t enforce the law as written need to be immediately evicted from office, barred from ever holding office again and imprisoned for no less than 2 years.
If they don’t like the law then they can run for legislature and CHANGE it. You don’t get to pick and choose what laws “count”
I wonder what the demographic make up is of the Chicago cops using stops to search cars?
“Kim Foxx ... announced that she is formulating a policy that could result in her office not pursuing gun and drug cases that result from “pretextual stops”
does that mean the cops have to give back stolen guns and illegal drugs to the convicted felons driving the stolen cars?
This is one of the few things this Soros DA got right.
The 4th Amendment prohibits pretextual stops. Just because some dirtbag with a badge thinks he’s psychic and has ‘a hunch’ that warrantless searches and seizures can find crimes is no excuse for warrantless searches and seizures.
But I’m sure that you’d be fine with the police showing up at your house two or three times a year to conduct warrantless surprise inspections just to make sure you’re doing nothing wrong, am I right?
Or are you willing to submit to random stops during the day to have your ID checked ‘for officer safety’?
As for ‘getting guns off the street’ I utterly oppose such a thing. I support Constitutional carry. So should you.
Imagine how much money she is receiving from the drug cartels.
With tinted windows so common, how do the cops know the race of the driver until they’ve observed the violation and made the stop?
