One point not made above is that health care providers are now able to report to the FBI the names of patients who are mentally ill. Considering the other new actions are for the most part redundant this is really the most concerning point.
Most likely true. Criminals only need to make one mistake. The likelyhood they will never make that mistake is pretty low. Eventually law enforcement angencies will see that mistake if they are looking for it - time is on their side, not the side of the criminal.
Here in the US at least, and honestly it should be the same elsewhere, we don't want an actual Democracy due to the downfalls of that system. In effect a true, pure democracy will always devolve into anarchy and eventually a dictator will rise to power and effectively enslave the population. The US system is designed to provide a modified democratic system with protections against the outcome I just described. This is well documented elsewhere, I've provided a pointer in what I believe is the correct direction for finding the answer.
Actually Fox News absolutely does report on this when it happens. Not only do they report on it they typically invite the individual on to one or more of the shows - Fox and Friends is a common one - for an in person or video interview.
The problem is many of these shootings occur in designated "gun free zones". In effect we tell the lunatics where to aim whether they have guns, bombs, chemical weapons, etc. Might as well call them "victim pens" instead.
I do see a contradiction, but I believe the issue is with the management of the no-fly list. That is another example of American citizens' rights being trampled upon. There is no easy way to know you've been placed on the list or to remove yourself if you were placed there in error. Do you think I want to trust my 2A rights to the same idiots managing that process?
Maybe it's time to wake up and realize this isn't the fault of the police. This is a direct outcome of "zero tolerance" policies that began decades ago so schools primarily could avoid lawsuits. This is what happens when you take judgement out of the decision making process.
Of course if you still want to blame the police go right ahead, but please don't bother them when some lowlife threatens your home or family. Deal with it on your own.
Please stop with the silly "we need more gun laws" argument every time someone farts. You're just embarrassing yourselves now. We have enough gun laws. Mine can't leave my house because we have so many silly laws. And contrary to popular leftist, racists beliefs I can prove guns aren't violent. My guns just sit wherever I leave them. If anything, they're lazy.
Um, wouldn't "them" in this case be the local government which means the local community, i.e. people who are paying taxes in that town? Best case the police department is insured and the insurance company would pay any settlement and then just jack up insurance rates on the rest of their customers to make the money back. Yeah, good idea.
It's a joke here in NJ too. Personally I don't have an unlimited plan with them, but I've been with AT&T for many years now and really have no complaints. Verizon has caught up by now coverage-wise, but no reason to switch.
While true, the main reason for the slow march of technology in NASCAR is to maintain affordability of the sport. The France family doesn't want to be a bunch of pretentious snobs in a sport dominated by spoiled rich kids which, at least in popular perception, is what Formula 1 is.
This is just another thinly veiled attack on Christianity and other religions. As a Christian I find this offensive, but I expect no one cares since I'm also a white male.
You're a fool if you believe that. Drones save American lives, reduce costs, and civilian casualties are no higher than any other type of targeted strike.
There is the answer. Put up a net that prevents drones from entering or dropping items into the prison areas. High tech isn't the answer to every problem. Sometimes low tech works just as well plus saves the taxpayers lots of cash!
Confronting the police by breaking laws in order to protest the laws is, at least in the US, a pointless excercise as the policy neither make the laws nor do they judge whether the laws are fair or even legal. The job of the police is to simple enforce laws that have been made. That is as true today as it was 50 years ago.
I believe you are missing my point here as it appears others may have as well since I've been modded as a troll and someone else posted the "don't talk to police" thing. There is a difference between being polite and cooperative - good things - and volunteering information expecting the police to simply send you on your way, which can happen but is highly unlikely. I'm advocating the former. As in most aspects of life 'polite and cooperative' is generally the best policy, at least at the beginning of any conversation with authority.
I was fired by an employer with a long track record of constantly calling former employees about matters they were involved in. Fortunately at the time I had the sense to not give this employer my home number but a number than rang in my home office only. Once terminated I simply unplugged that phone for a couple of months. I was available, they just couldn't reach me. At the time cell phones were around, but not to the extent they are today.

I know you were being humorous, but you're also right. Humans are the root of all of these issues at some level.

Hrm, spellcheck changed "fascists" to "racists" in my reply. Please mentally edit accordingly.

You should visit AT&T offices for sales related events and who they hire for THOSE roles. Models.

No, it's called sacrificing some for the sake of many. Nuke 'em if they can't prevent these scumbags from running their countries.

Is Jim Gilmore really a candidate? He seems to be the only one who believes that.
Typical Nazi York government overreach tactics. So glad I don't pay taxes there anymore!

Funny, I'm actually just completing my X10 to zwave conversion! Anyone want to buy a lot of X10 gear cheap? ;)
Boy I should have proof read that before posting. Several misspellings, but I believe you can get my point.

Unlike common criminals, try cooperating with the police. You'll be better off in the end for it generally.
