The word you were looking for is "attached". Double jepordy was not attached.
But as a white guy who was once beat by the police while I was handcuffed*, I suggest that not all police imporprities on their victims are motivated by racism.
The other thing that people seem to miss regarding these YeeHawdis is that they are idiots.
This is the problem with most conservatives. They're conservative because they're stupid.
Not only do they need some smart people, but they could use some cute girls too. At least Fox News understands public image.
Even long-haul (over 1,000 km) trips by e-semis is feasable if you supply the vehicle with power while on the road. I'm refering to an inductive power supply system using a buried set of transmiter-coils in the road and a reciever coil on the vehicle. For a start, a piece of Interstate between two active points could be fitted with the power-transmission coils.
The trucks would be cheaper to run than their internal combustion countereparts.
However, the recent drop in gasoline price is goint to stall e-vehicle development for a while.
In the news stories I've seen, when people hack into politician's accounts, they don't do anything creative with them. They simply expose the fact that the account was compromised, and maybe the hacker's funny screenname gets credit. The result is the politician gets accused of being sloppy and unsafe.
Now, I see ransomware is the answer. Politicians wouldn't want their porn history exposed.
I've been using and working with computers since before you were born and have never had a single one get infected with a virus or malware of any kind.
It boggles the mind how anyone could have that happen unless they went out of their way to make it happen and/or they are a complete moron.
Impossible.
And since you must know that such a history is imposible, what's your point?
.... as we creep slowly-- no rapidly descend towards fascism. Why don't they rename DHS to DACL-- Department of Anti-CIvil Liberty?
I really should make this a complete list somewhere and encourage contributions, but I've often said that whatever the government names something, then it really means just the opposite:
Dept. of corrections - criminalizes people
Division of Family Services - Takes kids away from their families
Dept. of Defense - Offense
Dept. of Justice - Oppression unjustly imposed
Dept. of Homeland Security - insecurity for many; nothing to do with the homeland
Dept. of Revenue - steals your revenue
Environmental Protection Agency - approves polluters and others who destroy the environment
Central Intelligence Agency - bunch of stupid government workers
Animal Control - Kills dogs
Democratic People's Republic - Totalitarianism
-- I'm just thinking these up as I go. I'm sure the full list is extensive. Just think of any division or part of the government, look at the name, and think of what it really does.
... can't resist 20 million dummies who can shoot at them. Hence, the people cannot be subject to an arbitrary government tyranny as long as they possess firearms.
Dream on. The 20 million would need to be organized to form a serious resistance. The people, even armed people, have no power.
- if need be, they will lie under oath to protect each other or to cover their mistakes
Not all of them, but enough of them that this is a huge problem. And, of course, the moderate cops won't stand up to their "bad apple" brothers in blue, so you get the Blue Wall effect.
I once defended myself in a jury trial for trespassing (Park City, KS) - being in a mobile home court in the early afternoon. Since I was innocent, I refused to accept the fine, and took it to trial. The jury selection and the trial lasted beyond typical work hours but was finished in one day. I lost, and the fine was $52 court costs - that's all. The judge understood I was innocent even though the jury convicted me. But all that's not the point here.
During the trial, a lieutenant with decades of experience, who I actually think is probably a good guy more or less, completely fabricated a phone call to me. It never happened. The prosecution included this because it thought the call would constitute in the minds of the jury members a personal communication telling me not to trespass. Actually, I believe I was convicted for another reason, simply because the jury didn't want to be there. I also didn't do a good job in the Voir dire.
In any case, the lieutenant lied on the stand just for a petty trespass conviction. They think nothing of perjury.
"GPS and house-watch data shows you have repeatedly parked near a suspected narcotics distribution location. You have characteristics of a drug user contrary to the good of the state. Your vehicle will now provide transportation to the rehabilitation center."
Let's hope it wasn't but I'd still not be surprised if it was fucking sand niggers.
You used two terms, RH and SN. RH could be Hindus, and they're not suspected. You must be accurate with your slurs or else people may think you're general hatter.
(You also made the syntaxial error of being non-parallel when, apparently, you planed to be. Please be more careful.)
Saudi Arabia should have been targeted (by the US) right after 9-11, or perhaps earlier. Nowadays, it has paid its way into the pockets of the leading politicians of America, so it's protected - even from criticism.
Being locked up is the most definite form of state deprival of freedom. But I never limited my thoughts to that. Indeed, I even included examples of people being on parole/probation, which is somewhat less than being locked up. Your examples of psycological freedom infringement don't rank even close to real physical confinement. And I don't know what you are talking about with "lynch mobs." Where? What lynch mobs? Nobody hangs black guys anymore.
Now, to partially address your vague examples, I'll respond to the first one, driving while black. The implication is that police are more likely to pull over someone who is black, everything else being equal.
I don't know about where you live, but the situation is just the opposite here in north 66101, a black-becoming-Mexican-neighborhood. Black people are normal driving around here, and they typically freely drive around without harassment. A white person, particularly a young one, and definitely a young one late at night, is often suspected of drug buying just by being here. The police will, for no reason, or for a trumped-up reason, pull over a white person simply for his/her presence. This behavior doesn't speak well for the police department, but it belies your assertion that people driving-while-black are persecuted.
I, personally, seldom get pulled over, but the last time was about a year ago 3 blocks from my house and was for turn-signaling too late. Once the officer decided I wasn't up to anything (my ID showed my address), he didn't cite me.
Sure, that was anecdotal, and it doesn't really prove anything, but it generally represents what goes on. My black acquaintances all agree it's risky from a being-stopped POV for a white person to drive in this neighborhood. BTW, I have a self-imposed curfew of 10pm just to avoid the police - even though I'm technically legal.
I show studies that indicate you're wrong, and you're response is, "It wouldn't even make sense to read them".
I think you've made things clear.
It of course doesn't make sense for me to read all of them and answer all of them; that would take days. Which part of which study are you saying is critical? And it's obvious you are insincere here because you now have revealed you have not read them. You might as well have posted a link to a search result page.
But to address the issue of sentencing, it is certainly an important element or the criminal justice process (cjp), but it also certainly is not the only one, nor, considering it isn't even a necessary element of cjp, should it be regarded as the most important one.
As I understand the story of the start of Yahoo is that a couple of guys began making a favorite list sites they liked. This eventually grew into the search machine. It doesn't really use list per se. It searches through indexes and gives results.
That's how I assume watchlists work. If the NSA wants people who like back-of-the-bus sex in Chicago, that's the combination they search for. The results could be called a "list" I suppose.
Target not K-Mart.
"...some useful patterns emerged. Lotions, for example. Lots of people buy lotion, but one of Pole’s colleagues noticed that women on the baby registry were buying larger quantities of unscented lotion around the beginning of their second trimester. Another analyst noted that sometime in the first 20 weeks, pregnant women loaded up on supplements like calcium, magnesium and zinc. Many shoppers purchase soap and cotton balls, but when someone suddenly starts buying lots of scent-free soap and extra-big bags of cotton balls, in addition to hand sanitizers and washcloths, it signals they could be getting close to their delivery date."
The concept that a person of some given behavior is more likely to be locked up if he/she is of some ethnic origin other than white European, say, a black person, in America is incorrect.
Your position seems to be that unjust sentencing disparity caused by the race of the defendant is prevalent, that your numerous links contain statements that support that conclusion, and thus my position regarding preferential treatment is wrong. If, by posting all of those links, you mean to advance some idea beyond unjust racial sentencing disparity, you didn't say so.
But sentencing is only one element or the criminal process. Who is chosen to arrest is important as well, and that's what I just pointed out. The focus of law enforcement is the first element in the criminal justice process. I gave the example of leniency given to a peaceful crowd sitting on a porch selling crack. Sentencing, however unjust, has nothing to do with that.
It would be unrealistically unwieldy for me to rebutt all the contents of all those links. It wouldn't even make sense to read them. However, the studies I'm familiar with that express your conclusion (racial sentencing disparity in general) are flawed. Please pick one, or one concept from one, that you like, and I will address it.
The US... "losing our freedoms" is that now it's finally happening to white people who have money...
The concept that a person of some given behavior is more likely to be locked up if he/she is of some ethnic origin other than white European, say, a black person, in America is incorrect. The reason blacks were more frequently arrested for crack, for example, is that the black population is more likely to use the drug. Indeed, preferential treatment is often the other way around because whites are expected to hew to a higher standard of behavior. For example, a black group in a black neighborhood can lounge on a porch and, unless there is a shooting or something there, can sell crack (using the same example as above [1]) for years without the police intruding. In a white neighborhood, an open operation like that wouldn't last a month.
[1] Domestic violence; Oral threats of violence; Public intoxication; Probation/parole rules like having clean urine, getting employment, paying dues; Noise violations: mostly petty socially-connected crimes are the ones non-whites get a pass on. But some state preferential treatment legal actions are serious. The state holds whites to a much higher standard in the civil law action of taking kids from parents.

That's just incorrect. There is plenty of evidence, shown in study after study, that shows there is a disparity in sentencing between white people and various ethnic and racial groups.
