"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that people do not have a constitutional right to refuse to tell police their names."
"The 5-4 decision frees the government to arrest and punish people who won't cooperate by revealing their identity."
"The decision was a defeat for privacy rights advocates who argued that the government could use this power to force people who have done nothing wrong, other than catch the attention of police, to divulge information that may be used for broad data base searches."
"Police, meanwhile, had argued that identification requests are a routine part of detective work, including efforts to get information about terrorists." ...

Well as long as it will help catch terrorists it's okay that we are moving to a police state! |

"A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled today that people who refuse to give their names to police can be arrested, even if they've done nothing wrong." ...
"The court's 5-4 decision upholds laws in at least 21 states giving police the right to ask people their name and jail those who don't cooperate. ..."
"Privacy advocates say the decision gives police too much power. Once officers have a name, they can use computer databases to learn all kinds of personal information about the person."
"The loser in Monday's decision was Nevada cattle rancher Larry 'Dudley' Hiibel, who was arrested and convicted of a misdemeanor after he told a deputy that he didn't have to give out his name or show an ID." ... |

"The killing of three Birmingham Police officers with a weapon designed for war could spur debate about a need for more stringent gun restrictions."
"Alabama's current regulations on assault-type weapons don't exceed federal requirements, said Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives."
"The slaying Thursday of three Birmingham police officers with an assault-type weapon drew attention to the easy availability of such high-powered firearms, said Mike Coppage, director of the Alabama Department of Public Safety and a former Birmingham Police chief."
"Coppage said a balance must be struck between the constitutional rights of citizens to own firearms and the safety of the law enforcement and the public." ...
-------
According to the CDC, bans of firearms are ineffective, so it is not a question of "balancing" rights and safety, but of further infringing rights without impacting officer safety.

"A sweeping mental health initiative will be unveiled by President George W Bush in July. The plan promises to integrate mentally ill patients fully into the community by providing "services in the community, rather than institutions," according to a March 2004 progress report entitled New Freedom Initiative (www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/toc-2004.html). While some praise the plan's goals, others say it protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the public."
"Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in April 2002 to conduct a 'comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system.' The commission issued its recommendations in July 2003. Bush instructed more than 25 federal agencies to develop an implementation plan based on those recommendations." '' |

"During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, U.S. troops used the .50-caliber sniper rifle to take out Iraqi armored personnel carriers from a mile away. Its most powerful cartridge can penetrate inch-thick steel from that distance."
"Could the same weapon, in a terrorist's hands, be used to bring down a commercial airliner or unleash toxic chemicals from a railroad tank car?"
"Originally designed for the military, the .50-caliber rifle is legally available to anyone 18 or older who can pass a background check."
"Most civilians use it for target shooting. Some people fear it could be wielded for darker purposes."
"'They're obvious weapons of choice for terrorists,' said Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va. 'They have no function in hunting, unless you're hunting humans.'"
"Mr. Moran introduced a bill in May that would prohibit sales of the gun, except to the military and law enforcement agencies. He is the latest in a succession of federal and state legislators who have sought to ban or more tightly regulate the .50-caliber, drawing spirited opposition from gun-rights activists."
"These efforts have failed for good reason, say defenders of the rifle."
"'There's no scientific basis for any of this,' said Michael Marks, president of The Fifty Caliber Institute, an advocacy group. 'There's no historical basis. My concern is that this is drawing attention and resources away from some very real threats.'" ... |

"Early in the morning last July 5, a patrol car working South Seattle pulled over a Ford Expedition with a broken headlight. Kenneth, a 16-year-old from SeaTac, was in the back. Two friends of his sat in front."
"Within minutes, a routine pat down turned violent and Kenneth lay on the ground, handcuffed and bleeding. A Seattle police officer had pressed a Taser four times against the back of Kenneth's neck.
Each of the 50,000-volt jolts lasted five seconds and left a dime-sized char mark. Scars still remain almost a year later."
"After an internal investigation, the department concluded it was an unfortunate misunderstanding and ruled three of the four officers involved did not violate department policies. The fourth was ordered to undergo additional Taser training." ... |

"According to the UT Police Department Web site, sexual assault is any sexual act that is not consensual. Consenting sex requires sober, verbal communication without intimidation or threats."
"Student Government, UTPD and the UT administration have made many efforts to make the campus safe. Students, however, remain largely unaware of the availability of these programs. The programs are ill-coordinated and poorly advertised, rendering them less helpful." ...

"Massachusetts police chiefs say a state law banning electronic weapons is handcuffing police from using what some consider the most effective, yet nonlethal means of stopping violent offenders."
"The weapon, called a Taser, fires up to a five-second burst of 50,000 volts that backers say is usually enough to stop - and drop - most offenders long enough to place them under arrest."
"Massachusetts and New Jersey are the only two states that do not allow police to carry Tasers."
"Taser supporters say that unlike other police weapons, such as pepper sprays, batons or firearms, a Taser blast is usually quick and painless, and the end result is not a trip to the hospital or the morgue."

"'We are now advising sellers of second-hand firearms to hand in their unwanted guns to the police to have them destroyed,' said Solomon Shange of Kings Arms and Ammunition in Pietermaritzburg."
"Rather than paying R570 (per firearm) for proficiency and competency certificates, many gun owners don't want to go through the costly and lengthy procedure of renewing their licences."

An off-duty Houston police officer shot an armed man early Sunday after a confrontation at a northwest Houston car wash, officials said.
Officer Hector Ramirez, 31, was working a security job at the car wash in the 7100 block of Tidwell about 5 a.m. when he spotted James Lee Madden, Jr., 38, carrying a pistol in his waistband, police said.
Police said Ramirez, a five-year HPD veteran, shot Madden when he saw the man make some type of suspicious gesture. Madden was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he was listed in critical but stable condition. He was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon.

"I first got an inkling that recoil was not good for you in 1973 when I met Ned Lilly, a Hall of Fame trapshooter. At that time he had been smashing clay birds for 40 years and had fired over a million rounds. As a result of all that pounding, he said, he was unable to turn his head anymore, so arthritic were his neck and shoulders."
"Over a long period of time, recoil wrecks backs and necks and detaches retinas, and in the short term it can do a pretty fair job of turning you into a lousy shot, because it�s against human nature to hold steady when you know you�re about to get walloped. So in this era of dill pickle�size cartridges, it is heartening to see Remington and Federal come out with big-game ammo that is loaded to kick less�lots less." ... |
