To those who believe the police actions violate the 4th amendment, I will ask the same question I asked last night:

What would you do to catch the sniper?

And please stick, to the case at hand, and not opine about immigration, second amendment rights, muslims, etc.

I am truly curious as to what your solution would be, particularly how you would catch the sniper without violating the rights. Thank you in advance for your replies.

1. Authorities need to release more details to the public, including descriptions, info on the tarot card, etc.

2. Authorities should put in place a system where the public can be alerted via radio (Emergency Broadcast System)within minutes that a shooting has occurred at X - be attentive.

3. Unfortunately, they must mostly rely on a person disrupting the next attempted sniping, or on an acquaintance turning the sniper in.

Let's face it, these roadblocks are really meant to give the appearance the police are "on the case". The chances of one resulting in an arrest are nil; the sniper's already prepared for this eventuality.

Aren't you the dreamer. We've been asking for "their plan" for days. Nothing forth coming.

To those who believe the police actions violate the 4th amendment, I will ask the same question I asked last night:
What would you do to catch the sniper?   Is your question an effort to *shut down the debate* as to whether or not LE is following the rules that they are REQUIRED to follow in doing their job? I appears that your question assumes that the police are *not violating the 4th*. If that's where you stand, you may very well be correct. But to ask that of the "those who believe ... violate" is not part of the debate and does not come across as balanced.

Gather enough evidence against a particular individual or individuals and then follow the 4th:

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.

What would you do to catch the sniper?

Use intelligence satellites to monitor the area, and record all data to disk. Once a shooting occurs, determine the trajectory, locate the position that the sniper fired from, then zoom in on that area to see the sniper arrive at the site and then leave.

I refer you to my post #193 (and others)

Pssst. If you can't catch him without doing so, then you don't catch him. That's what the Law is for.

Perhaps we should just randomly torture citizens for information. After all, if you can catch the sniper by violating rights....
