Oh, I see, Mr Magic. So then what rights have been restricted but not taken away? PLEASE educate us.
I have no problem with reading comprehension. For example, I can read you like a book.
You're SOOOO clever.

Man arrested for photographing police activity receives settlement
- Thread starter TimH
- Start date
If the police ask or tell you to do something and you dont do it, you are subject to arrest. PERIOD. You can scream 'don't tase me bro' all u want. What part of this doesn't your twisted little brain understand?There is nothing in the posted story that would lead the reader to
believe that the photographer was doing anything wrong to begin with.
If the police ask you to hand over your camera, and you don't,
suddenly you are obstructing justice. Wow. Thats amazing.

Are you making this stuff up? Where does it say in the story that he hampered anything. He took some pictures, big deal. It also doesn't say that he was "exposing" them. Why should the cops be worried if they have noithing to hide? It was in public and they were doing what police do. We don;t know what the original person was being arrested for, but lets just assume that everything was legitimate (although highly suspect because it sounds like the cops don't know where their own authority actually ends).
Sounds to me like the cops were typical power-tripping authoritarians...the worst kind of cop.
If you like what I can do with cards, wait til you see what I do with the limes.

is evil.

So you're perfectly fine with it when they "ask" your wife to undress in the alley and then **** her. If she doesn't comply then she'll be arrested.
Sound logic there.
The police are bound by laws just as we are. They can't just stop me on the street for no reason and demand to search me, just because. And, if I decline, I do wish they arrest me...I could use an $8,000 settlement just as much as the next guy.
You're not very clear on the concept of a police state are you? We don't have one of those....yet anyway. Pray it stays that way.

You're joking, right? What old fashioned values are you talking about?
I'd like people to make a firm stance against beligerent authoritarians who believe they are above the law.

As a non-native speaker I sometimes miss the point and read what I think is logical.
I thought the person who obstructed the police had to pay $8000 fine to avoid going to jail. Now I understand he was rewarded for his outrageous behaviour.
This pure madness, getting paid for doing wrong.

Are you saying the Seattle Police Department are wrong to take disciplinary action against these 2 officers for behaving unprofessionally?

If this incident proves anything it proves that Americans are able to take photos in a public place without interference. Count yourself lucky to have that right (a lot of the world doesnt) and stop looking for Reds (or Democrats) under the bed.

Your wife, fine. So when did this happen? WHat does raping your wife have to do with arresting a photographer?So you're perfectly fine with it when they "ask" your wife to undress
in the alley and then **** her. If she doesn't comply then she'll be
arrested.
Your logic, not mine.Sound logic there.
So then what are you running on about?The police are bound by laws just as we are. They can't just stop me

And, if I decline, I do wish they arrest me...I could use an $8,000

You're right. We dont have a police state. NOT EVEN CLOSE. SO what are you blabbing about? One photographer ticked off some cops and then the ACLU got the guy $8000 of the taxpayers' money. You should be happy.You're not very clear on the concept of a police state are you? We
don't have one of those....yet anyway. Pray it stays that way.
Well, that's America.
The ACLU, who got this clown his $8000, is run by perverts and child molesters. Oh, and Communists, but that's sortof redundant.

My goodness me, I am missing this point as well. I am disagreeing with you maybe insofar as is is seeming the officers have acted unwisely, but this person was being most unhelpful in the circumstances. In India he would have been arrested for disturbing the peace and being a public nuisance and a night in the local lock up would have made him aware of his civic responsibilities. Simple justice, but effective.As a non-native speaker I sometimes miss the point and read what I

He was taking photographs. That may be a crime in India, it's not in the U.S. Not all police officers are well grounded in the law. They arrested this person. This person sued for wrongful arrest and won. Now those police officers know better than to make that same mistake again.My goodness me, I am missing this point as well.

Yes, I think the Netherlands, from what I've read, is like America if the ACLU had their way. They are FOR ANYTHING. It's called the American Civil Liberties Union. They are a slew of liberal lawyers who sue in support of most any kind of perversion. They interpret the COnstitution to mean than anything anyone can possibly think of doing is protected speech. They regularly SUE to have Christmas items taken down but for some reason, they NEVER sue to have Jewish or Muslim holiday displays removed. They say they're for everyone's liberties, but that's a smoke screen. They pick and choose liberally. For example, they defended a member of NAMBLA in Massachusetts where this homosexual child molester killed a 10 year old boy while acting out his sex fantasies. I guess the 10 yer old didnt have any civil liberties to protect. Same story in Texas when 2 gay men killed a young boy during sex.
The ACLU and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) are the 2 most dangerous above-ground operations in the USA. Discounting the Democratic party that is.

That was never my argument, it was someone elses. You should pay closer attention.Oh, I see, Mr Magic. So then what rights have been restricted butThe poster didn't say that rights had been taken away, he stated thatThis is a freaking oft-repeated left-wing distortion. As is oftenExcept that in the old USSR, the victim would not have received a
settlement from the police and there would have been no equivalent of
the ACLU. It would have been far more likely that the victim would
have physically beaten had he/she tried to complain.
So has the U.S. Government tried to restrict people's rights under
the guise of 9/11? Yes.
asked, name me ONE RIGHT that has been taken away. NAME ONE.
they have tried to restrict rights.
not taken away? PLEASE educate us.
--I have no problem with reading comprehension. For example, I canIf you have trouble with the
reading comprehension, take the paragraphs in smaller bites to allow
them to digest better.
read you like a book.
You're SOOOO clever.Yes, I agree, your post really was.Totally illogical and unprovable. Ergo, a democratic platform position.Have local police departments followed
that lead and also tried to limit rights? Yes.
Idiotic and non-sensical.But in many,
although certainly not all cases, people have fought back and won.
So in that sense, the U.S. is very much a very free country and will
probably become much more free after the Bush's term ends regardless
of who wins.

Lot's of people would be happy if Michael Savage shut up. If even for a minute or two. Don't worry though, his civil liberties remain (and will remain) fully intact. No actions have been taken by anyone, including the San Francisco City Council that would threaten his right to freedom of speech in any way shape or form.Heard on the radio how Michael Savage (fantastic radiohost) was
almost deprived of his civil liberties. They tried to make him shut
up, why do the good ones have to suffer.
