Yeah, it scared the hell out of me! I was chasing him and one of the other guys popped him. Damn things flew right by me.


I like to make sure I yell like a monster when I'm chasing someone. It makes it much more fun.

A recent police study found that you're much more likely to get shot by a fat cop if you run.
-Dennis Miller

This, I believe, will become the trend. Cops get so damn fat that they absolutely cannot chase anyone (not even a 14yr old boy), so they shoot and tase instead.

I'll give the cops down in Steubenville credit, though. You don't see any of these lard-ass pigs down there. Now in Wintersville its a fucking requirement to be 75+lbs overweight.

The Bill of Rights protects citizens from the government(police at all levels). you are not protected for example, from non government agents.

For example, assume that a shopping mall security guard acting on a pure hunch searches a teenager's backpack. Inside the backpack the guard finds a baggie containing an illegal drug. The guard can detain the teenager, call the police, and turn the drug over to a police officer. The drug is admissible in evidence, because the search was conducted by a private security guard, not a police officer.

The police can use the findings of a citizen's search, even though it was illegal. the same does not apply to police, the evidence would be thrown out in a illegal search done by police.

Why would the teenager listen to the shopping mall security guard?

The thing with that scenario is that no legal troubles will come from not listening to some security douche trying to detain/search you illegally.

Even if a police officer was illegally searching or detaining me if I tried to tell him to fuck off or to just leave I'd likely get tazered/shot. And it's a crime then on my part. Not going along with an illegal search or not going along with being illegally detained by a cop is a crime. I find that amazing.

because it is technically not an illegal search until a judge says it is i believe. you are pretty naive if you think the average citizen knows the ins and outs of the laws. if everyone was allowed to walk away from a cop when they THOUGHT they were being illegally searched, no one would get caught.

and that scenario was just to point out how i said police are bound by the constitution and citizens are not.

You are pretty naive if you think the average police officer is an expert on the laws/gives a shit.

But yes, your example was correct. And I guess the illegal search scenario is just a bad situation because there's nothing you can do about it and like you said, they can't just give everyone who thinks they're being illegally searched a free pass.

hmmmmm,
don't commit crime...
you won't get an electrical stud in the back of your head.

seems pretty easy to me.

I have absolutely no problem with what the police did and need to do every day in response to the continual degeneration of society.
