They Can Do That?! 10 Outrageous Tactics Cops Get Away With

“The cops can do almost anything they want, and often the most maddening tactics are actually completely legal.  There are many reasons for this, but three historical developments stand out: the war on drugs provided the template for social control based on race; 9/11 gave federal and local officials the opportunity to ensnare Muslims (and activists) in the ever-increasing surveillance and incarceration state; and a lack of concern from the public at large means these tactics can be applied, often controversy-free, to anyone who resists them.”

Ninth Circuit Gives the A-OK For Warrantless Home Video Surveillance

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/logo_full1.png

“Can law enforcement enter your house and use a secret video camera to record the intimate details inside? On Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unfortunately answered that question with ‘yes.’  On suspicion of nothing more than the benign misdemeanor of selling eagle feathers, the government got to intrude inside the home and record every intimate detail it could: books on a shelf, letters on a coffee table, pictures on a wall.”

TSA Creates New Watchlist Of Those Who Failed Pre-Check Applications

“The Federal Register for Monday, November 19, 2012, quietly advises that ‘TSA also is creating and maintaining a watch list of individuals who are disqualified from eligibility from TSA Pre✓TM…’  Millions of frequent flyers have applied to PreCheck in the hope of mitigating the abuse they suffer at the airport. But now, with breathtaking irony, the TSA discloses that anyone it rejects winds up on yet another of the police-state’s watchlists, his agony at the airport even worse than before.”

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/taser-tester3.jpg

“In response to a 911 call because plaintiff Scott Sheeley was suffering a seizure, City of Austin Police Officers and paramedics went to Sheeley’s home. Instead of providing medical care, police officers, with the assistance of ambulance paramedics, violently restrained Sheeley, depressing his ability to breathe, and repeatedly shocked him with a Taser gun. Ambulance paramedics then administered drugs to Sheeley that further depressed his ability to breathe, sending him into respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest. As a result, Sheeley suffered physical and emotional injuries, including permanent brain damage.”
