No but you usually have to at least be under suspicion to get arrested.
In theory yes. In reality, you will find this is abused more than you would like to believe.
Meanwhile the people in Texas tried to curb TSA's subjecting everyone for suspicion of trying to take a plane ride and they were slapped down by the feds.
That is a big part of the problem.
Keep in mind this was a ballot initiative - the people of California voted this on themselves.
Yeah, but they need to be able to state why they arrest you. If they arrest you for no better reason than to search you, whatever they found in that search is inadmissible as proof against you.
At least that is the way it is supposed to be. It comes down to how slimy the prosecution is and/or how good your attorney is.
Don't forget they shut down the entire terminal in their massive overreaction, which has become the norm lately.
I honestly don't know if the massive overreaction law enforcement tends to have over any issue lately is because they are completely stupid or because they want to get media attention in some ridiculous effort to show they are keeping us safe. I wish it were the later, but I fear it is rampant stupidity.
Things like On-Star? Yeah, much more of a potential issue since they do implement "kill switches" that can be triggered remotely. So far though, I've never heard of one being mis-used -- only positive stories of killing engines to recover stolen vehicles.
Maybe that has something to do with On-Star's marcom group not putting out press releases when they mis-use a "feature". I will never own a vehicle that has On-Star in it.
Or, if you manually connect your electric car, generator, or other backup power source, you also manually flip your main breaker so you are only powering your house. Otherwise, you will not get much utility out of your limited power source, would you?
And on a side note, no lineman that intends to go home at night would ever grab a line assuming it was not live, would he?
I'm curious about this though: from TFA: "..is sufficient to power an average Japanese home for about two days" - I wonder how that translates to the "average" US home (assuming there is such a thing)
about 15 minutes.
More if a few of the 55" plasma TVs are shut off.
Even more if homeowners realize that, with proper landscaping and insulation, it is possible maintain a very comfortable temperature with the windows open and air conditioner off even when it is 90 degrees outside.
I have flown business and first class quite regularly, and although it does remove some of the negative aspects of air travel, I certainly would not classify any experience as fun.
Yes, but their marketing piece would not have gotten so much attention if they stated "by 2015 we are hoping that a few more people will actually use Paypal".
Go back to your research and look at the language of the day. What was a well regulated militia? The militia was all able bodied men. Well regulated meant they should provide their own functional firearm with adequate ammunition.
Pocket pistols were not uncommon. It is absurd to believe that the founding fathers would not have considered concealed as outside of a well regulated militia.
You can spin it all you want, but at the end of the day you will still be incorrect - just dizzier.
I wonder what the Founders would think of the NRA's position on private ownership of laser weapons, which will certainly be: "You can have my laser gun when you wrest it from my smoldering, dead hand".
Why would the founding fathers reject citizens owning current generation weapons? Remember, these are men that took up arms and fought for freedom against an oppressive government. Many of them owned weapons that were state of their art for the day, similar to modern day ownership of AR-15s and similar firearms. Private ownership of cannons was not uncommon either.
The 2nd Amendment was not written to protect duck hunters.
Correct. I remember sitting through horrible presentations with a speaker droning on before PowerPoint existed. I have also recently attended horrible presentations that did not use PowerPoint.
If someone cannot give a reasonable presentation, PowerPoint will not help them, and it will not actually make the presentation much worse.

Arrest != Conviction
The appeals court made the correct ruling. Now they just need to order all of the samples destroyed.

What didn't survive the 'budget deal'?
Any meaningful deficit reduction.
I'm sure that's it.
Stupid scientists publishing papers always overlook the obvious answers in favor of their "two moons colliding" theories.
sudo mod him up. Well said.
At least Missouri lawmakers are thinking of the children. /sarcasm
In reality, it appears as though Missouri lawmakers are not thinking at all.
Good point. Glad I don't live in Florida.

Such hostility. At least we know one person that believed the whole "hope and change" crap.
Just remember, this is your government. You get what you vote for.
I have flown business and first class quite regularly, and although it does remove some of the negative aspects of air travel, I certainly would not classify any experience as fun.
He may be alive, but is he sane? I can't imagine dealing with TSA, gate agents, and all of the other hassles that go with air travel that many times.
At least Android users can install whatever they want rather than playing in Apple's walled garden.
That doesn't sound like Apple bashing. Here come the troll mods.
If the title would have more accurately stated "people are resistant to change" this would have not been news at all, as it is widely recognized.
Yes, but their marketing piece would not have gotten so much attention if they stated "by 2015 we are hoping that a few more people will actually use Paypal".
Now instead of launching Skype to video chat, I can log into Facebook and then launch Skype to video chat.
Face it folks, you can't be 100% safe, no matter how many liberties you give up.
Mod parent up.
Of all the days to be without mod points.

Agreed. It is much better when people are killed by the old methods instead.
Correct. I remember sitting through horrible presentations with a speaker droning on before PowerPoint existed. I have also recently attended horrible presentations that did not use PowerPoint.
