Just allow intruders to be shot on the front lawn.
When he gets past the front gate in one piece.
Popo knocking on the door is a much different thing than popo kicking in the door.
Any freakin time they want?
Popo knocking gives you a chance to tell them to come back with a warrant.
Popo knocking down your door means your dead if you try to defend your home.
We live in dangerous times.
I remember in high school when I first got my license, riding my motorcycle home, a cop followed me and then pulled into the driveway behind me. No ticket or arrest, just a stern lecture about speed on the city streets, 30 or something on in a 25 mph zone. Worst was my mom standing at the window watching.
Happened all the time when I was younger.
If a law enforcement officer suspects someone is driving under the influence -- as opposed to playing loud music and honking his horn -- he should pull him over immediately to protect both that person and the public.
They still need probable cause to pull them over.
Uh I’m sure the loud music stopped when the car is turned off. And the cops aren’t allowed to enter your house without knocking and asking you to open the door. And the surely aren’t allowed to stop you from shutting your door.
Cop probably figured you were a bigger danger to yourself than anyone else.
“If a law enforcement officer suspects someone is driving under the influence — as opposed to playing loud music and honking his horn — he should pull him over immediately to protect both that person and the public.”
How many DUI arrests are made because the cop pulled the driver over for something small like loud music or honking the horn? I have a young relative who was pulled over for a right turn on red violation (didn’t come to a full stop) and got a DUI arrest (just barely over the legal limit). To make matters worse, the county courts are still shut down for COVID, the violation was 13 months ago, and the court date keeps getting kicked down the road. It is now scheduled for AUGUST, 17 months after the violation. This is really messing up this person’s life.
The officer broke into the man's house for loud music. There are so many laws that you can violate without even knowing it that allowing police to do what this officer did would entirely gut the 4th Amendment.
You think like a Karen.
...” just a stern lecture about speed on the city streets”
...the good old days. That’s because he used his common sense and could tell you were a decent person and didn’t necessarily deserve all the damages caused by a ticket. A true servant of the people.
I got pulled over when I was 21 for drunk driving. I couldn’t walk the line, do ABC’s, nothing. He asked where I lived (about 2 miles) and he drove behind me. Watched me get out and go inside. That’s an extreme case. I should’ve been up a creek but I’ll never forget it and haven’t driven while drunk since.
That was exactly my curiosity. By delaying and following rather than immediately stopping him the officer endangered the public. Drinking and driving aside but the abuse of the load music. lol
I’ll go off on a tangent but one that I hear a lot of noise over. The disparity in charges & jail time between “powdered” and “crack” cocaine.
The People demanded the government do something, the people demanded new, stronger laws against “crack”.
The People wanted more government and they got it.
This. This is also why I could really care less what happened at the Chauvin trial.
Meh. My solution to this sort of thing was to simply move from Seattle to rural Kentucky. And I made that decision in 2008. I saw where we were headed. It was obvious.
Indeed we do.
I'm all for law enforcement, as long as the enforcers are playing by the rules. Lately it seems that many of them don't feel the need to do so.
I have a feeling that change is coming. It remains to be seen if that change will be for the better.
How far is your Neighbors house from yours? Although I don’t visit and talk to my neighbors; I did that when I was younger. I have to have houses around me.
They can knock on the door, but cannot enter.
That is the basis of this case. I read through the oral arguments the day of, and was not entirely hopeful from the questions being asked by any of the judges that they understand this.
I suspect the ruling will enhance the police state’s power just a little bit more, a process that only moves in one direction.
