Understanding the Law

Seven out of ten forfeiture cases end with no charges filed.
That's the original 'eminent domain' is it not?

Nyar, a week in jail for not showing ID?
A WEEK?
Damn. That's one of those charges that has been exploited to the Nth. I hear alot about people being arrested.... for resisting arrest..... yeah.

"Hey he looks like someone who doesn't want to be arrested- let's go arrest 'im"

For the people who hear about this kind of thing, and never have it happen to them, it's a non-issue. Their complacency allows this sort of BS to continue, legality growing ever more vague.

I'm sure many of us have seen, on COPS for example, the police piling on a suspect, while claiming they were resisting. Well, with 5 or 6 cops stacked on the "perp" you can't tell if they were or not usually, but a few fine examples remain where it is obvious the police were using this tactic, the person was compliant, and still got bum-rushed.

That's the sort of thing that makes it all too clear that the legal 'system' has been perverted into an all-out business.

Everything has been corporatized.
The only thing that can save your ass these days is $$$$$$$$$$$$

And the police know, don't they, who is likely to have it. And those who don't are easily ensnared, many times....for life.

Ohwell, they say. Just another rat for the cage.                                                  J

Thank you sooo much for this.

I don't do drugs myself but this still could be extremely beneficial!

(and sorry for possibly reviving an old topic)

Well that is an extreme view, I'll grant you visavis. But personally I haven't seen any good examples of anything other than money getting people back on the street. I hate to use the OJ Simpson example, but that seems to be the norm. And look At Ms. Hilton, a slap on the wrist and daycamp, for something that would have gotten the rest of the population much harsher sentences.

Spiritually, yes knowledge, connectedness and intuition can get you far. But not in the legal system. Just my opinion....

Yes... but the money is used to buy & apply the knowledge, albeit twisted 'Dark Side' legal knowledge from bastard lawyers, so they get off scot-free. 

But if you arm yourself with a different kind of knowledge, that is, knowledge of who you are and where you are, both esoterically and legally, then that is far more powerful than the temporary power that the rich and famous have.  Just my .02...!

Actually, reverse this and you'll be accurate.  Paris Hilton got three weeks in real actual jail for something that most everybody else would have been slapped on the wrist for.  The fact that Paris Hilton got three weeks in jail for some sort of driver license issue is very unusual, from what I gather.  I'm no fan of the psy-ops experiment on the population that PH is, but you don't get three weeks in jail for something that trivial.  As one of those night time comediens joked - she's technically served more time than many of those supposed hardcore gangstas.  My friend Mike back in Cali was notorious for all his driving infractions and only went to jail after some heavy duty infraction, I don't remember what now.  But it took repeated drivers license suspensions and then his license being revoked before jail happened.  And PH spent three full weeks in jail....for invalid drivers licence stuff?  Really odd.  There was clearly some bias in that case.  Like the judge went so far overboard in his attempt to not treat her like a celeb that the sentence became ludicrous.   A lot of people are usually put into jail and released after several hours or a day, for far worse offenses. 

Sentencing seems so completely arbitrary in this country. Not only does it vary from state to state, but it varies according to skin color, economic/social class, and whatever way the wind blows for the judge that day.

Could be some of the beginnings for national ID card selling.

Well I don't know, maybe I'm the confused one.  I found a link here http://blog.washingtonpost.com/celebrit … _time.html that says it was for "violating the terms of her DUI probation."   So seems that you're right?  I thought it had to do with an invalid driver's license or something.   Let's see - Lindsay's the one that hijacked somebody's car and took them on a high speed chase through the streets of L.A. while coked up.  Britney's been driving around without a license crashing her car into various things, including other cars.  And Nicole is the one who was driving on the wrong side of the 110 freeway totally high on drugs, with drugs on her.  Okay, now we're straight.     haha  Who can keep up. 

Still, it is true that people get busted for far more serious offenses and are turned around within a day or two in the jail system, usually due to "overcrowding."  My brother for instance was busted in Oregon back in 2002 in the middle of burglarizing a building, caught with stolen items on him from another burglary, and resisted arrest by assaulting the officers.  And he was released after two days.   And Paris was in jail for three weeks??? Now that is bizarro!
