Law Enforcement: This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

This dangerous bill S.3081, lends itself to Police Corruption more than any bill introduced in modern U.S. History:

On March 4, 2010, Sen. John McCain introduced S.3081, The “Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010.”

Sen. McCain’s S.3081 would eliminate several Constitutional protections allowing Government to arbitrarily pick up Americans on mere suspicion—with no probable cause. Your political opinions and statements made against U.S. Government could be used by Authorities to deem you a “hostile” “Enemy Belligerent” to cause your arrest and indefinite detention. S.3081 is so broadly written innocent, e.g., anti-war protesters and Tea Party Groups might be arrested and detained indefinitely just for attending demonstrations. Government can charge that attending demonstrations "materially supported hostilities."

At least under the Patriot Act, law enforcement generally needed probable cause to detain a person indefinitely. Passage of S.3081 will permit government to use “mere suspicion” to curtail an individual’s Constitutional Protections against unlawful arrest, detention and interrogation without benefit of legal counsel and trial. According to S.3081 Government is not required to provide detained individuals U.S. Miranda Warnings or even an attorney.

Notably, McCain’s S.3081 mandates (merging) Federal, State and Local Police and subsequently the U.S. Military to detain and hold Individuals in the U.S., even without probable cause. See 12-page McCain Senate bill S.3081 at:

Under S.3081, an “individual” need only be Suspected by Government of “suspicious activity” or “supporting hostilities” to be dragged off and held indefinitely in Military Custody. Government will have the power to detain and interrogate any individual without probable cause. Government need only allege an individual kept in detention, is an Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent suspected of; having engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners; or has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. How could one prove to Government they did not purposely do something? “Materially Supporting Hostilities” against the United States could include any person or group that spoke out or demonstrated disapproval against an agency of U.S. Government.

It sure seems that there are quite a few unconstitutional laws that abound. We U.S. citizens have allowed what some consider "the small things" slip through and hid behind "for the greater good, now we pay the price for the accumulation of so many of these getting through.
I've been telling people for years "wake up!" yet few listen. They say "You and your conspiracy theories." I do not consider what I can read in black and white as laws in our land "conspiracy theories." How is it that on the Bill of Rights, in the decorated part, there are marijuana leaves, yet we allowed a few with self serving interests to villanize and make the plant illegal? This was a plant used for paper, textiles, ropes, fodder and medicines, to just name a few things, and no one questions the REASON behind the law?
ANY law that causes more harm to our society than good should not be law. We are coming seriously close to becoming a dictatorship with out ANY rights or freedoms. We need everyone to speak out against these injustices. Damn it, this is MY country and I don't like feeling like I'm a criminal for executing my rights to free speech, nor do I like the fact I'm feeling like I'd be better off living in a different country with the way things are going.
We are told our laws have to stand up to the test of being Constitutional. That's simple, right? No not really. It's not simple when our law makers choose to twist reasons and words around, in order to MAKE it fit some how.
I wondered how long it would be before something like this S.3081 would come along.
My writings are all over the internet, so expect I'd be right up there with publications such as this one, to be silenced....at least in public. No matter what they try to do, they can not change a person's heart.

Please read it and ask yourself if there are loopholes or vagueness in the wording.
Such as "(E) Such other matters as the President considers appropriate" It is assumed "hostiles to the United States" implies people connected to Al Qadea: "(9) UNPRIVILEGED ENEMY BELLIGERENT.—
22 The term ‘‘unprivileged enemy belligerent’’ means an
23 individual (other than a privileged belligerent) who—
24 (A) has engaged in hostilities against the
25 United States or its coalition partners;1(B) has purposely and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners; or was a part of al Qaeda at the time of capture." But my question is what is really considered "hostilities against the U.S.? Could it extend as far as anyone who's fed up with the way policy is going and speaking out against it, or trying to get them changed?
This big clincher in the (9) lines 22-25 are written prior:
(3) INAPPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN STATEMENT
6 AND RIGHTS.—A individual who is suspected of
7 being an unprivileged enemy belligerent shall not,
8 during interrogation under this subsection, be pro
9vided the statement required by Miranda v. Arizona
10 (384 U.S. 436 (1966)) or otherwise be informed of
11 any rights that the individual may or may not have
12 to counsel or to remain silent consistent with Mi
13randa v. Arizona.
EVEN ON AMERICAN SOIL! For Shame! Questioning without representation because they "Suspect" a person. Isn't that the same as guilty until proven innocent?
I understand our needing to be protected from those who would harm us, but lets take a look at this a little closer. I read some headlines that stated military was refusing to destroy heroin poppies over seas, due to wanting the people in the poor communities to cooperate with them and Al Qadea telling those people that they would avenge them if such things went on. Yes, the drug poppies fund Al Qadea forces, also heroin is illegal in the U.S. and our leaders have said if a person uses drugs they are funding our enemy. Do you see where this can lead? More overzealous drug laws and enforcements against people who really have no connection with the enemy forces.
I have concerns that it is one more way to erode our constitutional freedoms. Rights that did not say it only applied under specific circumstances, but ones that were inalienable.

We stopped being a "Democracy for the People by the People" a long, long time ago.

If our founding fathers could see what their great country, thier dream for a free land where all men could be free to pocess life, liberty, freedom of religion, and the pursuit of happiness has become they would puke all over their shoes. I'm proud to be an American and proud of American's, but I absolutly abhore, distrust, and am throughly disgusted with our federal goverment and their unjust laws and policies.

Our wonderful X-President Bush got us into a war in Iraq to bring freedom and democracy to the Iraqy poeple my butt. This war has destabilized the entire region, and further more if you are busy taking freedom and democracy from your own people how do you give it to anouther?? Anyone with even a moderate amount of inteligence should be able to understand that the reality is that G.W. said to old man Bush "Well dad now that I'm in office I'm going to save face for you. Finish what you started and couldn't finish, and go over to Iraq and kick Saddam's ASS!!" Now thousands of our own young men and women are dead or maimed for life, not ot mention the more than two million Iraqy civilians whom are now dead. It's no wonder to me why we are reviled and hated throughout most of the world. Now my own son is totaly brain washed, joined the military and is off to Afganastan to get himself killed...may God be with him, and protect him, and bring him home in one peice. At Nuremburg one of the Nazis proclaimed "That there will never be a shortage of young ignorant men to fight and die for causes not their own, for wars started by others, in which the orchestators shall never fight and never die."

History really and truly does repeat itself. It is very important to have an in depth knowledge of history to allow ones self to see further into the future.

Our goverment has been lying to us for many years about a great many things. I too for a long time have trying to educate people as to what is really going on in our own country but people won't listen, won't educate themselves, and would sooner laugh at me and write me off as a conspiracy therory nut case. I got tired of the ignorance of Americans. For all our technology, education, and the oportunities we used to have we truly are more ignorant than most of the people of the world. I'm so sick and tired of our corrupt goverment pushing it's filth and lies down our throats that if I pocessed the funds to do so, I most deffinetly would move to anouther country.

Soon just like Stalin, Hitler, Pol-Pot, and others throughout history they will next take our weapons from us. Recent actions over the last ten years on the part of our federal goverment clearly demonstrate this is the case. A friend of mine whom is a Federal Prosecuter has informed me that there have been more federal laws enacted in the last ten years than in the entire history of the United States. Why you ask ... to bring it's people under it's total control and domination... that's why. You see every time a goverment or a leader wishes to enslave a people this is what is done. As far as I'm concerned we are already there. Mostly we ourselves are at faught. We The Ignorant People have allowed this to happen by not being involved, not caring enough to get off our lazy stupid butts and voting trash like McCain out of office. By not keeping up with the legislation which is being concidered, and calling and writing our sorry legislators to express our opinions on how they should be voting. Instead we have allowed the corporations, and special interest groups to take control of our political system and our beloved country. Look around and see what a sorry mess we are left with.

May GOD help us all!!
