Legal Advice

An insurance adjuster from New Jersey was stopped for speeding in Tennessee.  He had $22,000 in cash on him which was taken as per civil asset forfeiture laws in Tennessee.

Here is the take away from this video.  A bit of free legal advice:

  1. ALWAYS PLEAD THE FIFTH
  2. NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  3. NEVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  4. NEVER, EVER, EVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH
  5. SEE RULES 1 THRU 4

According to Associate Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson, “Any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect, in no uncertain terms, to make no statement to the police under any circumstances.”

Watch the video below presented by a lawyer and a police officer to back me up on this.

I feel bad for this guy from New Jersey, but it was his fuck up.  Tennessee is notorious for it’s bad civil asset forfeiture laws.

TN Officer: “Do you have any large sums of money on you?”

Dumb guy: “Around $20K.”

Smart guy: “I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.”

TN Officer: “Can I search your vehicle?”

Dumb guy: “I’ve got nothing to hide, sure.”

Smart guy: “No.”

See the difference, it’s not hard.

Catalonian Independence: Dumb and Dumber

So the regional Catalonian Government went full potato and declared independence. Madrid’s Central Government is gonna apply the law and strip them from their autonomous power… a dumb move that will inflame shit even more.

The smart move? Treat them like a country: Close the border and since they are not members of the EU, demand passport and visas. Cease all commerce till deals are made and that would require ambassadorship and a full diplomatic corps  which they have not thought yet about having.

And demand payment in cash for goods and services till they open proper lines of credit.

That should be enough to have them back in the fold by July next year.

But the Spanish and their machismo overrode common sense… Oy!

So Close to Salvation

Back in September, in Knightdale, N.C., one Deondre Branch stole 10 bras from a Wal-Mart.  He was chased by police when he then broke into an office while feeling.

One Connie Wells was in the office, working, when the break-in occurred.  Fearing for her life, she drew her concealed carry handgun and shot Branch in the neck.

Branch may now never walk again.

According to his father, he shouldn’t have been shot for stealing some bras.

Not really understanding where that come about, where he was a threat to someone in order for him to get shot…  A crime is a crime, but there are levels to everything. Shoplifting is not right, by no means, but that is no fashion in comparison to your life… He is a great kid. In life you make bad choices.

Do these parents get a script from the reporter of what to say?  Word for word it’s always the same “he was a good kid” and “the crime he did wasn’t worth shooting him over.”

So lets go to the tape (I couldn’t find an embedable version, so the link is to the news report).

Yes, that is a man kicking down a 150 lbs, solid core, exterior grade security door.

I’m pretty sure Ms. Wells had every reason to fear for her life after that.

Deondre Branch, survived somewhat worse for the wear.  The good news is, I don’t think the law of Ballistic Beatification applies to the living.

 

Campus Nazi Correction

A few days ago I made a post about campus Nazis at the University of Utah.

The central figure in that post was a person I described as “This skinny, gender neutral, pantywaist with his smug grin, nerd glasses, pink sweater, and earring.”  At the time he was openly stating that The Constitution was no longer relevant in America.

Late last night, Miguel sent me a picture gleaned from his social media.

Yep, that’s him.

I would like to make a correction to my previous post.  This is not a Nazi.

He is, in the immortal words of the great Charlie Daniels one “of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!  I betchya he’s even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”

Well, he’s wearing his commie flag with a picture of Fidel Castro tacked up on the wall of his living room.  Close enough.

The most amazing thing is, this Communist shit has the EXACT same look – hair, smug look, stupid face – as the West Point communist Lt Spenser Rapone.

I’m getting really fed up with these campus commies who want to destroy everything the United States stands for because some professor is telling them just how horrible American freedom is and how great Soviet communism was, in between lessons on how math is racist.

I really don’t know how much longer this can go on.  At what point we reach a critical mass of campus commies released into the wild.

The only thing that gives me hope is that the battle lines are being drawn between one side that can’t decide between 9mm and 45 ACP and another that can’t decided if they are men or women.
