If this happened anywhere else the criminals or whatever would have gotten off and you know they took too many steps past the law. Yes justice for the stolen watch was served but in another vein justice for the detained kids and the searches(other than the lockers) was not justice. It was "I can do what I want cause I want to" by the LEO or whatever he was. I've had the same thing happen to me by a stupid LEO You can't question kids even in a police station without letting the kids know what rights they have and you know this didn't happen in this case. Yep I disagree with what the laws have become but the lawyers have made the morass of laws that we have to "protect" the innocent...even if they aren't so innocent. Illegal searches are covered under the constitution even if that right has been bastardized by the ACLU and Supreme Court Justices that aren't interpreting the law but making it. Yes you can't always get in touch with parents and I know some parents don't believe little Johnny would do such a thing as steal but they should have tried. And if you were defending a defendant in a case such as this you would be jumping on this with both feet and you know it. That after all IS your job.... to use the system to save a client from a big rap. Not dissing ya man. This is exactly what you have stated in previous posts. And I do know it is exactly what I would want from you if defending me! The schools have gotten so restrictive because of the ridiculous laws we have now. You can't even punish your child for fear someone will "tell" on you. Including your kid. On the few occassins that I drove to school all those years ago I ALWAYS had a gun in the car. Holy crap..I woulda been locked up and the key thrown away now.
C'mon man...make a real stand on this
BTW I'll be back in March to do some taxes. Lets go SHOOT!! Bring your dad! I don't wanna here its tax time either. You can spare a few hours!
