No, no. We need to ban assault printers! Ban any printer capable of printing any part of an any weapon that can be used in any assault. We're not trying to take away your printers, we just want common sense legislation. For the children.

I'm more interested in which country is less of a bad guy, less likely to attack US personnel and property, more in line with US interests, and less likely to use NBC weapons. Using that very US centric POV, I think you know how to choose sides if it comes down to only one or the other (in POTUS's shoes, at least). Each country has to weigh these things for itself. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Like I said, ALE is trained in the state highway patrol academy along side troopers. Loitering in an ABC parking lot is legally trespassing, and if you've met troopers anywhere you know their view of even the slightest of violators.

Overall Summary http://reports.abc.nc.gov/uploads/resources/43e805f02a254abd85cbc23135b17e97.pdf ABC faqs http://abc.nc.gov/faq/category.aspx To clarify, each store is not directly run by the state, but is run by county ABC boards that must comply with all the numerous and expansive ABC laws and regulations. And yes, there's a lot of competition for store jobs, and it's just one more way bC has too many employees going jobs that would be better left to the private sector. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

From a probable cause standpoint (i.e., right then and there at the scene), you have to take it on a case by case basis. The officer looks at the totality of the specific circumstances. Something like a posted no-trespass sign would be one example that would seem to fill the bill. (There could be lots of other examples, too, but I'm trying to be concise.) But that's only at the arrest phase. Then the state has to make the charges stick in court. In most states, in order for trespass charges to stick in court, the premises owner (or occupying tenant) has to testify to the defendant's non-permission to be or remain there. That's it in simplified form. Thanks, always best to keep it simple for a guy with a My Little Pony avatar. Every ABc store in NC is state owned and has signs posted for no loitering, trespassing, consuming on property, etc. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'm not joining in on the Islamophobia or Muslim bashing, but your post makes no sense.

It may be a "dick move". However, some here have claimed it was racially motivated and illegal. Oddly enough they have yet to produce any evidence or support for that, other than their failing to understand the law and projecting their own feelings. Like I said before, the officer could have done things better, but we do not require perfection and there is no evidence of illegal actions or racial motivation/prejudice. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

(A) You can't see his approach or actions during the start of the interaction. The video is on the with the iced tea, loitering, who is later arrested. (herein after referred to as "X") (B) The officer does not attempt to grab the can. He reaches towards X and tells him to hand it over Congratulations, you appear to enjoy making stupid wagers and accusing others of racism. Ooh, "many". What a nice way to imply a huge number or even majority without having to support it. I've for news for you: many people think 9/11 was an inside job. Many people think they've been abducted and probed. Many people are complete fucking idiots and are irrelevant to this discussion. Most people don't hate cops or think they're nazis, even most gun owners. They do tend to worry more about crazy politicians who want absolute power, and the occasional federal agency or massive police agency that thinks its fun to trounce on their target of the day, civil rights and standing laws be damned. Are you a racist? Why is everything about race to you? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Compare and contrast the article I posted to yours. Besides changing parties and positions, what is different? Hint 1: see if the article you posted broke any of the suggestions in my link. Hint 2: did your article suggest any way to improve anything, even communication? Hint 3: did you article put forth any reasons or support its position in any way? That aside, I doubt ninety percent of people would agree it's a bad idea to detonate nuclear warheads over American soil. How can 90% support checks by everyone if so few are upset about the bill in DC failing, and less than half think we need new gun laws or that gun laws should be a priority in DC? If that poll question were rewritten to be honest, do you think you'd get 90%? A)"All commercial gun dealers are already required to complete normal background checks at gun shows and at all other times and locations. Do you support a new law to require all private citizens to conduct a background check on others at gun shows?" B) "Do you support a new law to require private citizens to conduct background checks on other private citizens at all times and places for all purchases?" C) "if yes, do you think this would have any effect on gun violence rates?" Finally, I noticed you had to limit your post to background checks. What's the matter? Can't find any polls anywhere that say Americans favor banning the most popular rifles in the country? Or banning normal magazines? Or any of the other bad ideas in the dead legislation? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Israeli launch airstrikes into Syria, possibly targeting delivery systems for chemical weapons, US officials say Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes against targets inside Syria on Friday, U.S. officials told NBC News.

Not only does he make a clear and reasoned argument, he even sites his evidence (by links instead of references).

You have, and I don't disagree. I just can't stand people who have no idea what the law is, what idly says, and what effect it had in the courts trying to tell everyone what the law is. (You obviously don't fit that category) I also agree with the sentiment in your last post. I prefer to judge the country, like your argument, on its own merits. I despise moral relativism. I was just trying to offer a suggestion to bolster your "other countries" argument so that it might sink in on more people. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

If you really want to make your case, name the countries.

How does that work when this person is not in uniform and does not present a badge and then assaults a law abiding person? Many LEOs work plain clothes details. All NC ALE work plain clothes. Their uniform is pretty much a state polo, 5.11 cargos, and duty gear on the belt. When not trying to broadcast their presence, they use a button up short sleeve. Like I said above, I'm fairly sure he flashed a badge on his belt by moving his shirt. It's not clear on video that he did, but it's definitely not conclusive that he didn't flash a badge. Finally, he didn't assault the guy. He arrested him. Look into NCGS 15A 401. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

That wasn't some local off duty cop wandering into the scene. This was an ALE officer, or another NC LEO contracted to the ABC to act as ALE. They are hired specifically to enforce ABC law. ALE always works plain clothes, and I think during the video after being questioned, flashes a badge on his belt. I'm not going to argue t hat the officer couldn't have done better. I think he could have done better. However, I didn't see anything illegal or likely to be against rules and regs. It could've been done better, but since we don't require perfection, the officer is in the clear. Also, lets not forget the guy who ended up being arrested was loitering in the parking lot (that even though you can't see it, is posted). That means he was trespassing. He was given the chance to leave and didn't. Congratulations, you're going to jail for trespassing. Finally, when an officer tells you you're under arrest, you really can't win by resisting, even if he is wrong. That just brings more charges and the possibility of injury. When the suspect pulls away, taking him to the ground is standard procedure. Go on a ride along with your local PD. you can learn a lot about how policing and the non-lawyer side of court goes. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'm completely sure you have no idea how the judicial system actually works. I've personally seen cases like this one in district court, and they generally plea guilty. When they don't, they're found guilty at trial. At the very least I'm glad you gave up on the BS racism claim. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'm glad you agree there was no racism there. (that's sarcasm; there wasn't any, but I'm sure you saw some) An ABC store is for buying merchandise. Most have no trespassing signs. When an authorized representative tells you to leave, you're trespassing. If you've made your purchase and then loiter, you might be trespassing. It's an ABC store, not a meeting place. Most everywhere I've ever been, you can't consume on premises. The officer initially made contact to check on a possible violation. You could argue he should have been more professional and could have done some things to can the situation, but that doesn't mean he was wrong. ABC store tend to generate a lot of problems, so they have more rules than other stores and are much more heavily patrolled. Simple solution: wait for your friend at the next parking lot. Problem prevented. ETA: This was North Carolina. All ABC stores are state owned. Every single one has a no trespassing sign posted, and a list of "Dont's" on the sign. In addition, ABC law in NC is extensive. It includes prohibited conduct in the store and PVA. I'm guessing the arresting officer was an ABC officer, not local PD. they are trained in the same academy along side state highway patrol officers.
