To Protect and to Serve...

This is a serious question?

What, there's no secret formula in the policing-for-dummies handbook?

Yeah, same formula they use for global warming.

The wars on drugs and terrorism are making The Constitution less relevant with each passing day.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Okay, you said above it's never been challenged in court as a 9th or even 10th Amendment issue. So as of right now, they are against the law. Whether or not it's Constitutional needs to be argued at the highest levels of courts and a decision should be made. But since it's never been argued at that point, how can you say it's Constitutional or not? My opinion is it could be argued as one of those two, although your libertarian side will probably argue against the 10th as well (since it is still governmental control) and you'll press with the 9th. Which you would have a potential case.

Another point, I am willing to bet the the same arguments used to repeal the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) would be equally valid here. That would be just a starting point. And keep in mind, current drug laws are not even covered under The Constitution like alcohol was. So the Federal case against drugs is much weaker than the case for alcohol.

I agree to an extent the arguments for drugs could be the same arguments that existed for Prohibition. But again, one was in the Constitution, one is Federal Code.

Actually, getting Prohibition repealed was harder than eliminating drug laws would be.

Wait a ******* minute... say what?

Prosecutions with no warrants?

A funny LEO story for a change:

Man who 'liked' his own most wanted post arrested

A man featured on the Cascade County Crime Stoppers Facebook page as an April "most wanted" suspect and who apparently "liked" the Internet post appeared in court Monday on a $2,500 warrant.

So NYPD lost another brother today, Officer Brian Moore died after being shot in the face Saturday.

I really hate to hear that. Very tragic news...

I don't disagree with this, but I also don't understand why people don't say the same thing when a cop kills someone.

Or Cleveland, or Cleveland again, or LA, or Baltimore, or NYC, or Oklahoma. The list goes on.

Some of those were in the line of duty and I don't agree that they would be considered murder

Baltimore?

 

[volbeast33]

Baltimore?

Baltimore....I do consider it to be murdered but I want to hear the actual evidence and not just this emotion based response that has happened so far.

So you don't hope that they never again see the light of day?

Hope they all walk

Of course you do.
