#1 A Michigan man has been charged with a felony and could face up to 5 years in prison for reading his wife’s email. #2 A 49-year-old Queens woman had bruises all over her body after she was handcuffed, arrested and brutally beaten by NYPD officers. So what was her offense? The officers thought that her little dog had left some poop that she didn’t clean up. #3 A 56-year-old woman who was once a rape victim refused to let airport security officials feel her breasts so she was thrown to the floor, put in handcuffs and arrested. #4 In Milwaukee, one man was recently fined $500 for swearing on a public bus. #5 Several years ago a 12-year-old boy in South Carolina was actually arrested by police for opening up a Christmas present early against his family’s wishes. #6 In some areas of the country, it is now a crime to not recycle properly. For example, the city of Cleveland has announced plans to sort through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines. #7 A 12-year-old girl from Queens was arrested earlier this year and taken out of her school in handcuffs for writing “Lex was here. 2/1/10″ and “I love my friends Abby and Faith” on her desk. #8 Back in 2008, a 13-year-old boy in Florida was actually arrested by police for farting in class. #9 The feds recently raided an Amish farmer at 5 AM in the morning because they claimed that he was was engaged in the interstate sale of raw milk in violation of federal law. #10 A few years ago a 10-year-old girl was arrested and charged with a felony for bringing a small steak knife to school. It turns out that all she wanted to do was to cut up her lunch so that she could eat it. #11 On June 18th, two Christians decided that they would peacefully pass out copies of the gospel of John on a public sidewalk outside a public Islamic festival in Dearborn, Michigan and within three minutes 8 policemen surrounded them and placed them under arrest. #12 A U.S. District Court judge slapped a 5oo dollar fine on Massachusetts fisherman Robert J. Eldridge for untangling a giant whale from his nets and setting it free. So what was his crime? Well, according to the court, Eldridge was supposed to call state authorities and wait for them do it. #13 Once upon a time, a food fight in the cafeteria may have gotten you a detention. Now it may get you locked up. About a year ago, 25 students between the ages of 11 and 15 at a school in Chicago were taken into custody by police for being involved in a huge food fight in the school cafeteria. #14 A few years ago a 70 year old grandmother was actually put in handcuffs and hauled off to jail for having a brown lawn. www.infowars.com/almost-everything-is-a-crime-in-america-now-14-of-the-most-ridiculous-things-that-americans-are-being-arrested-for/This is genuinely outrageous. |

Pretty easy to stir up sympathy or outrage when you don't post the entire stories. I could sit here, and type out "I got arrested today just for carrying a purse in public!", yet, when you look into the details, it was a purse I just stole from an old lady.
As far as #3, no one is exempt. If you don't want to do the body scan, you have to go through the physical screening. Plus, you still don't know the entire story. Maybe the lady was so upset, she assaulted someone. Who knows?
Either way, this thread is entirely worthless.

If you heard the full story behind one of this stories you honeslty wouldn't be on a "DAT GUVMENT HATES US!11!!!" binge. |

A ten year old definitely shouldn't be bringing a steak knife to school.

I still see nothing that suggests the "government" or "authorities" did anything wrong. She couldn't do the body scan for health reasons. Fine. She has to do the pat down. She continually refuses, she is subject to the same consequences anyone else is. Period.
So, why is the government in the wrong?

Use the pat downs = feel violated.
Don't fly = won't get to where you need to on time.
Don't have the scanners or pat downs = plane could be taken over and crashed into the ground.
It's just all great choices.

I'm sorry, where did I say that we live in a perfect, utopian society? In the system we currently have, the government and the authorities did nothing wrong. |

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized Even if we disregard the fact that the entire procedure is completely against the supreme law of the land, there is still no reason to slam this woman to the ground and arrest her. |

So, we only get her side of the story, and the authorities are suddenly in the wrong? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? How do we know what went on in that airport on that day? Do we have security camera footage that shows that the authorities "slammed" her to the ground? Do we have any sort of proof, other than the fact that she was arrested, to back her claim up?
What if she lashed out, and struck an official? Or threatened one of them? Would they still be in the wrong? No.
I'm not saying that the lady is lying. I'm simply stating that we only have ONE side of the story.

So, we only get her side of the story, and the authorities are suddenly in the wrong? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? If someone was being charged with a crime, I would absolutely agree with that. But the fact is that this woman, who they have no probable cause to search, is forced to be sexually assaulted in order to get onto an airplane. THIS is when you should be crying for "innocent until proven guilty." If they had real reason to believe that she was carrying a weapon, bomb, drugs, etc., they could apply for a warrant. They don't. Thus, unconstitutional. How do we know what went on in that airport on that day? Do we have security camera footage that shows that the authorities "slammed" her to the ground? Do we have any sort of proof, other than the fact that she was arrested, to back her claim up? We're not going to get airport security tape. But eye-witnesses agreed. What if she lashed out, and struck an official? Or threatened one of them? Would they still be in the wrong? No. No, but there are absolutely zero reports that she did. I'm not saying that the lady is lying. I'm simply stating that we only have ONE side of the story. We only have one side of the story because the other side is the side that breaks the rules at their own pleasure and tells us that they do not have to follow the law. |

I'm not saying they are out to get us. I'm pointing out stupid laws and just how ridiculous this whole thing is. No one, especially a rape victim, should be subjected to legalized molestation. And if you look at the link I provided, they included links to every story. They aren't just pulling crapout of thin air. |
