Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court
Pemdas writes "On March 22nd, the U.S. Supreme Court is slated to hear a case involving an arrest for lack of producing ID on the demand of a police officer. Dudley Hiibel was parked off the road, and was asked 11 times to show ID to the police officer, who gave the justification of 'investigating an investigation.' Finally, he was arrested, and eventually convicted of delaying a police officer,' and fined $250. The incident occurred in Humboldt County, Nevada; Mr. Hiibel's side of the story includes a good section on Terry stops, and has a video of the incident for download. The parallels to the previously covered Gilmore v. Ashcroft case are striking, and the ruling will be an interesting precedent on the issue of requiring ID's. The ACLU, EPIC, and EFF, among others, have filed Amicus briefs in the case."
Imagine my surprise when the site of the article is papersplease.org.

'investigating an investigation.'
...it was Internal Affairs that "investigated investigations". Oh well...

Apparently it's been arrested.
Yes, but who will investigate the investigators' investigators?

I ended up working late on some Microsoft catastrophe at work.
Nice. Work in a dig at Microsoft. Ah, Slashdot.
What has it gots in its pocketses?
Or it might have went like this:
Cop: Hey boy, whats going on?
Me: Nothi....
Cop's begin beating you
Let me get this straight. You read slashdot but you go to parties and drive around with girls?
dude we know your lying.
Walking is a very suspicious activity. The only people who walk are (1) criminals or (2) people who are too poor to buy a car and so are probably also criminal.
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
no no, its not sig heil, its ... "whatever ..."

In Soviet Russia, the ID carries you?
Libertarians somehow believe that private businesses should be stronger than governments but weaker than individuals.

Do you like little boys too?
That would complete the set...
You know, the Nazis had pieces of Flair that they made the Jews wear.
Why bother drawing the line? I much prefer cause and effect. Let them get through #7 and when they gawk at the MP3 collection that perfectly reflects the CD collection, you can mention
"So now that you've wasted several hundred dollars of taxpayer money, which budget increase were you hoping that I'd vote for again?"
Public. Servant. And most of the city ones are pretty civil, too.
Do you know how hard it is to wage class warfare without people catching on?
And then... to have the indentured servants unable to work because of pot?
That simply won't do... too much energy has been expended to create those wage slaves.

Why oh why couldn't he just have said with a wave of his hand, "You don't need to see his identification..."
In Soviet Russia, the police...um apparently operate the same way as those in Nevada.

Don't worry though the USA PATRIOT ACT's will take care of all your problems.
Yes, it's much nicer in Cuba than Canada this time of year.

Assume you live in the typical suburban neighborhood. Now assume your 10 year old son and 2 of his 10 year old friends went on a ride to the local park to play on the swings on Sunday afternoon.
Would be OK for a cop to arrest these 12 year old for not producing an ID?
It's certainly not a crime, but I think that any child that ages from 10 to 12 years old within the span of one Sunday afternoon would arouse some suspicion!
Thanks for the correction - I always get their wigs confused :)
In that case, I can't see any objection to our President deploying troops to the polling stations to guarantee that democracy doesn't fall to terrorists:
A large man in military fatigues and a loaded rifle will check your ID, to make sure you're permitted to vote at this location, aren't trying to vote twice, etc. A second soldier will escort you into the booth, and stand guard over you as you fill out your ballot. He'll go over your selections with you, to ensure you didn't make any mistakes; we can't have another Florida-style fiasco, can we?
Of course other biometric methods could work but RFID is successful with trackng other valuable animals like hourses and dogs. Unfortunately though, identity theft would be a lot more painful !
Don't like that view of the world ? - well this is the country that accepts that you can't get a beer without showing ID. You reap what you sow.
