It makes it much tougher to confront people with guns.
i don't know the law in indiana. most stop and frisk laws require the cop to have a reasonable suspicion that the guy is in the midst of committing a crime or had just done so. in their latest iteration they aren't very useful
Innocent until proven guilty can provide some tough circumstances. So if this person had done that not having his bail paid by a not for profit, it would've been less...tragic?
Wrongful death lawsuit filed against The Bail Project and murder suspect
On Oct. 1, 2021, Thorntown native Nikki Sterling heard the worst news of her life.www.reporter.net
The bail project. Woke progressive blinkards
but guess what now i do. it took two seconds. criminal activity may be occurring and the person may be armed and/or dangerous. so again "may be occurring."
that's not how it works. you are so far out of your depth trying to engage me on this topic that it's laughable. that you write with arrogance despite being uniformed and lacking knowledge is grating in a way that i've rarely seen and understand why brad left. you need to be placed on ignore. And don’t vote anymore. Shut up and dribble.
Stop and frisk is not the answer. I know Giuliani did it, and there are a lot of lessons to be learned from his time as mayor as far as law enforcement. But it’s highly unconstitutional and possibly discriminatory.
Community policing is everything. Here they have to give out business cards now
He’s like the annoying kid at school, if you just ignore him he’ll go away & back to loving himself & HS boys since that’s all he’s got. A pity he can’t be put on ignore for real…
I understand the constitutional arguments and profiling etc.
that stuff is difficult. Stop and frisk also erodes trust which is never a good thing. On top of con law issues and the heavy public burden
Except it’s not really discriminatory, it’s statistically accurate.
I think “may be occurring” is too broad but probably loose enough that if the police find something on you it will stick. Weed is still illegal in IN so if you reek of weed and the cops stop you, well.
If 90% of the violent crime is happening in 10% of the geographical area. I’m fine with us allocating 90% of the patrol units to that area.
Policy drives decision making. If a policy is passed that you can stop someone if you suspect they have a gun, then police officers are going to stop people in violent neighborhoods more often. There are racial implications there but it isn’t necessarily racist.
Oh I don’t think they’ll stop them for having a gun or even suspecting so. At least not in any official documentation of the event. Sure, it’s a wink wink nod nod kinda thing but in a time where you can carry guns damn near anytime/anywhere/anyway, some concessions must be made.
It happened all over the country in the wake of Floyd in 2020. Budget cuts. Reallocation. Etc. Since then budgets have been restored/increases. Defunding police was a progressive woke reflexive action. It wasn’t a mainstream Dem belief. Biden supported cops. That said the number of cops is low all over the country. So budget doesn’t mean a lot if thousands don’t want the job anymore.
So your assumption is that law enforcement officers should be perfect?
Defunding the police is not only an actual policy in many places but also a metaphorical one for a range of initiatives to restrict police authority and eliminate immunity protections. This flows from the general lack of respect for cops in the wake of George Floyd.
Terry stops are constitutional,.
Disagree. Legal carry doesn’t mean the subject can carry. Once stopped the officer can check for other restrictions on carrying such as restraining orders, red flag law orders, felony convictions, parole or probation, and more.
No, it’s not. Humans respond to incentives. Even the dumbest and most violent of us. Even if it means a 1 year for minimum for shoplifting and 10 years for a carjacking.
Giuliani’s brilliance was in getting an entire community to buy in and row together. Here and so many other places businesses, politicians, neighborhood organizations don’t get along
We need to get guns off the street. I am A firm advocate of mandatory jail for gun possession while committing a felony. I also am all in on getting guns out of the hands of youngsters who haven’t committed a crime, Some kid pulled a gun at my grandson’s HS football game Friday. This is f*cking nuts.
Domestics are unfortunate but flammable situations. You need someone trained in the use of deadly or violent force there.
Point taken about the name.
Because we all know cops just stumble onto people about ready to use their weapons. Pretty much guaranteed in this state a gun isn't in question until it's used in a crime.
Yes, when the police tell legislators that permit less carry is a horrible idea, I'd listen.
Why not? They can stop you for driving a car, can't they?
Since the owners can't/won't control them, someone else will.
The presumption of the state should be that citizens of well regulated militias carry their firearms within the laws of their regulation, but we have political cowards.
We need to get guns off the street. That doesn't start by allowing anyone, specifically, to carry guns beyond their property. We have too many people who view this issue binary. There is no law that would immediately eliminate guns on the street, so they scoff at any regulation that would slowly curb it.
