While we still are - somewhat - a country adhering to the Rule of Law...
"A U.S. legal doctrine shielding government officials, including police, from personal liability in civil lawsuits for constitutional rights violations, UNLESS their conduct violated a clearly established Right."

(338 posts)My spouse wants to donate to the ACLU but is concerned about his name going on a Trump "list" that will later result in arrests. Legitimate concern?

PS: Lately, I'm seeing advertisements pop up INSIDE my posts. I find this extremely objectionable, since it looks as if I posted and/or endorse the ads, which I don't and won't if I can help it. Anyone else see this happening in their posts?

And non-star members will have the same think happening to them so they will know that the ads are not from you.

And, I can't stress this enough, always film the cops, if you don't, sure as hell, they'll violate your Constitutional rights and it ends up your word against theirs and we all know who the courts are going to believe.

I had to watch this one twice because I missed so much the first time. So he got an extra view from me, which might be the point of the chatterbox speed.

(2,225 posts)We are learning that police departments far and wide have been operating beyond their authority. This is an opportunity for EVERYONE to learn their rights and how to interact with police.
