So was she a US citizen? They let her go. Is screaming that I’m a US citizen sufficient to avoid ice detention?
Police don’t have the right to pull people over, ask them to exit their vehicle, cuff them, or put them in the back of a vehicle (detain them) without a reason. Stopping someone without reason is harassment, the rest is assault/battery (depending on location)/kidnapping without providing the reason. If they give you a reason they can detain you, but if that reason does not follow the laws or is determined to be unreasonable by a judge the body making the arrest is supposed to be held responsible and penalized, possibly making them open to a lawsuit. Aka she should sue them, and taxpayers should be pissed we are having to pay for this
You must not live in the US or you are very sheltered if so. That is not at all how things go down here. Police and ice do this sort of thing all the time. With no consequence. Screaming doesn’t usually stop the harassment.
Yes, they do break the law all the time.
But they are not supposed to do that. You must not know your rights as a US Citizen.
Also they ran her ID and determined that wow by gum she is a us citizen and then let her go.
Rights are only as good as the justice system. The US has been ignoring the rights of citizens and committing human rights atrocities. Not every US citizen confronted by the police is as lucky as her. If you think that your boot licking is going to protect you it’s a foolish delusion.
Boot licking? Go fuck your fucking self. I hate police more than probably anyone you know.
But you said that “screaming doesn’t usually get them to let you go” and I explained that yes, they are bastard pigs that break the law all the time and are abusive.
But they’re not supposed to do that. Which is true. Pointing out that they are breaking the law when they do that is the opposite of bootlicking. Shove your fist up your ass, bitch.
Also you implied they let her go because she screamed which wasn’t correct. They let her go because they ran her shit and realized they fucked up.
