The case was the fifth victory for law enforcement this term in cases involving search and seizure by law enforcement. The narrow 5-4 ruling was seen as a defeat for privacy advocates. Larry "Dudley" Hiibel, the Nevada rancher at the center of the case, had become a minor celebrity for those who believed he was standing up for his constitutional rights. He was arrested after he told a deputy that he didn't have to reveal his name or show an ID during an encounter on a rural road in 2000. Hiibel was prosecuted, based on his silence and fined $250. The Nevada Supreme Court sided with police on a 4-3 vote." THIS IS BULLSHIT the 4th ammendment guarantees a right to the kind of privacy that was violated here. this republican-owned court system is sh!tting on my Constitution! since when is silence a crime? |

| moderat-e/o-r Location: boston Posts: 11,184 | i'm willing to take my chances.. he's also no socialist - he voted for every free trade act that crossed the senate's path. also, funny that you'd call kerry a socialist when bush is pushing some of the biggest welfare additions in recent history. a bit hypocritical to say the least. frankly, i would've voted for nolan, but since he lost, i'm stuck between holding my nose and voting either LP or for kerry. BD... what was the court's rationale? that ruling just shocks the senses. there has to be something else to this. |

| Guest Posts: n/a | What, do I have to list my opinion on every single topic that ever existed from the Precambrian Era to now in order to keep you people from making asses of yourselves and assuming things when you have no facts to support that assumption? If you do not know what I think of Bush there is a simple way of finding out without looking like a jackass: ASK ME. I implied NOTHING about my opinion about Bush in my posts here. The "implication" was your own ASSumption. |
