I do understand all of the reasons the judge may have ordered their cell phones taken away. The problem is either we all have certain rights or we all lose our rights. Our whole justice system is centered around our rights. The same set of laws and guidelines has to protect the serial killer as well as the innocent- if not then the system breaks down. If the judge can actually order cell phones to be taken away from anyone that is not under arrest for any reason, then it will happen in other cases in the future. I just don’t like that idea. As much as I want to see this mess straightened out- and the guilty punished; I am not willing to give up any of my rights in order to make it easier to prosecute these people.

I understand what you are saying, but this has been allowed to happen because evil people can take something as fundamentally honest as the First Amendment and turn it into a reason to sanction statutory rape (Freedom of Religion). At some point good judgment has to do the heavy lifting, and if those in authority of handling this mess think it necessary to sever the lines back to YFZ then I think it should happen.

What if they 'go back' and those who were 'weak' are punished? How many lives could be taken? Its just all commentary are discussion here...those folks in TX have lives and safety in their hands...and I am guessing they don't want a 'Guyana' on their consciences...

So you’re willing to let this situation continue because you’re concerned that someday, maybe, you think that your rights just might be infringed on?

You’re free already. They had none.

They do now, or at least a whole lot more than they ever had in their whole lives.
