Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena
sudnshok writes "Hasbrouck Heights (NJ) Library Director Michele Reutty is under fire for refusing to give police library circulation records without a subpoena. Her lawyer explained, 'Reutty did the right thing... At no time did Michele Reutty say to any police officer or anybody else that she would not give the information if it was properly requested.' However, borough labor lawyer Ellen Horn, who also represented the library trustees, said Reutty was 'more interested in protecting' her library than helping the police. 'It was an absolute misjudgment of the seriousness of the matter,' Horn said."
Leave it to New Jersey... the country would be a lot better off if we carved that state off with a bulldozer and push it out to sea...
Too true. I love passing his rusty pinto (punta?) in my shiny BMW

We've heard medical people all tell us how much better prevention is then cure. Better it eat well and exercise then to get that double by-pass surgery. Same with crime but more so. Even if you catch the gang banger who shot the clerk at the store to robe the register it don't help the clerk. So when I'm in charge we will prevent crime. Yes we will. My plan is to put the thugs in jail BEFORE they comit the crime and there by prevent it. Police will be impowered to simply grab people off the streets who look like they may commit a crime in the future. With potential criminals eliminated we will all finaly be safe.
Fuck you, you fucking bitch. Quit your fucking job too, since you obviously have no idea what the law says.
Hugs and kisses.
Yeah...well, I'm all broken up about that. What about the rights of that little girl to go to the library without some guy thinking about her in a sexual way? Who's going to care about her rights? Sure, maybe she doesn't have the deep pockets and influence of the EFF or the daddy-warbucks OSS community, but as long as there's a breath in this dirty old cop I will be DAMNED if I see her at the bottom of a watery grave! You keyboard-jockey pixilantes make me sick, with your hot-air love of freedoms that protect the sick and perverted. Shame on the lot of you, you weak-kneed, tea-skinned, love-bagging fruit-changers that sit on the internet all day watching animated porn and wishing you were Japanese! I for one am disgusted by the way you take a backseat to everyone else's rights, the rights of a person to walk down the street and not be hassled by a bunch of loudmouthed Communist hate-bags! A bunch of lunatics, who don't have a *clue* about what it takes to be a cop in this day and age, one of the last lines of defense, one who plays it hard and fast and close to the line but who never, NEVER, EVEN FOR A MINUTE, forgets exactly what's going to happen if we keep listening to the wetbaby cry-socks who wrap themselves in the Constitution and never for a minute remove it to see that they're naked, standing in the middle of a cold, dark street with a bottle of pills in one hand and a bucket of filth in the other, choosing every second the worst possible option for society in the name of that twin-headed viper, FREE SPEECH and PRIVACY.
Things are getting a bit dodgy - but it's currently far from a fascist state. In fact, I suggest you learn the definition of fascism - as you lack any clue as to it's meaning.
US soldiers surrounded the city (with a population of 350,000), told everyone to leave then dropped white phosophoros bombs onto it killing an estimated 3000 or more people. Then they declared anyone who died in Fallujha was an insurgent/terrorist. Of course they killed a lot of innocent people among them.
It's not just the dribs and drabs of a death in custody here, or a death there - they're trying to take out insurgents with blanket bomb techniques, and stirring up more insurgency in the process. Rumsfeld is a complete idiot.
Unified Germany, particularly east germany is certainly much better off than under the USSR, pretty much everything else about the collapse of the soviet union has been a disaster. I'm still holding out hope for a new communist revolution, maybe this one will work, and maybe this time, Europe won't back the wrong the horse in this race.
Hey dumbass, YOU are harming America MORE than the people at Gitmo EVER could!
"[Regarding the 'cloud,'] ownership was what made America different than Russia." -- Woz
I find it interesting that you equate accusing people who've yet to be charged with any crime of being evil terrorists with saying good things about America.
Have you been a fascist prick all your life, or is being a whore for those who'd like to take your rights away a new thing for you?
