| Not what they intended Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:04:59 -0500 Herman LENZ SUMNER --- Are any of the following the kind of "constitutional rights and freedoms" the founding fathers of America intended for us to have? 1. Seat belt laws. 2. Law enforcement personnel using "trickery, deception and entrapment" to coax citizens into violating some technicality. The underage trickster initiates those illegal purchases of beer or tobacco. 3. The underage is given immunity from prosecution and allowed to break the law to lure the clerk into a trap. It flies in the face of the Iowa Constitution, but there are clever officials in high places who can construe and interpret and twist our constitutions and words in the dictionary to make them mean the opposite of what they say, or neuter them where citizens rights are concern. 4. Law enforcement personnel given "favored status" in the laws and courts. What happened to the "equality" we're suppose to have? 5. Jurors not told their full rights but are expected to just be intimidated puppets willing to feed the defendant to the lions to satisfy some over zealous prosecution program. Any juror who does know his or her full rights is excluded or kicked off. See www.fija.org for more info. 6. A perverted system of justice, where someone gets a greater penalty for "simple possession of something" the control zealots don't want him to have, (even though the possessor didn't and didn't even intend to harm anyone or anything else), then some official gets for shooting unarmed and non-attacking citizens. |
