What's wrong with people in authority positions

[B MACK]

What is up with all of these people in office,  Senators, Reps., Governors , Mayors, Judges...         Some are letting bad ass cimminals outa jail , and at the same time closing gun shops to where you can't defend yourself.. Or they are trying to pick away more at the 2nd Amendment .   And the latest one I have heard , in Michigan , it's illegal to buy paint or lumber to remodel your house while shut down do to the shutdown. Nor are you aloud to go out in a lake , by yourself in your boat fishing.    That women is scarey..

...and the people who state "you can't fight a virus with a gun" thinking it makes 'em sound smart. Nope. Just the opposite. The guns aren't for the virus. The guns are for the robbers, rapists, murderers, child molesters, etc...these liberal governors are releasing. I'm SO glad I'm not in Michigan like my brother...read about the restrictions & asked him about it. He sent a link to the EO. Apparently, these governors have never heard of a little thing called the Constitution.

 

Article 4 Section 2

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Article 6 Section 2

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

1st Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

2nd Amendment

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

4th Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

5th Amendment

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

9th Amendment

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

10th Amendment

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Marbury V Madison

Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

 

 

These governors do not have the power to do as they have done. They can recommend people stay at home, maintain social distance, etc...but they cannot enforce those recommendations under threat of fines or imprisonment. If you want to keep your shop open, keep it open. If you want to sell seeds & garden supplies, sell them...even in Michigan. When they try to enforce their unconstitutional edicts, sue their pants off. They don't have a leg to stand on.

Way back in 1978, I swore an oath to protect and defend that very same Constitution, from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.  That oath had NO expiration date!

When the defecation strikes the oscillating rotator, many of these self-appointed dictators will be the first to go!

Funny, I had a well read member here tell me that when I was discharged in 1972 my oath of allegiance to defend the constitution ended, was at a loss for words when I told him it is for life.

It is not all politicians. Our governor has done a stellar job. He has been the definition of level headed throughout this.

Can’t say the same for our governor here in Pa.I think it’s going to be a while before he opens up much of anything.Can’t understand why all construction work had to stop.Pendot is opening up some jobs,how about all the new home construction.There is a new development going in not far from me,price tag is 7-8 hundred thousand.There are some homes just framed up that have been out in the weather now for 6 weeks.How would like that buy one of them.Put the workers back to work now.

our govoner has been fairly level headed compared to most. still don't agree with some of it. but even then he has been under pressure from other states that he is not doing enough even though i recently saw a report that our hospitals in the state are currently only at %1 of capacity.

Governor Sununu of New Hampshire is weighing an order mandating all people 60 and older must shelter in place until  the Covit19  has either a vaccine or abates to less then 5% statewide. The governor said the state will be following guidelines set by the CDC and ordering the most at-risk older members of the community to avoid leaving their homes. He said these people should try to find help getting groceries or meeting other needs that would normally require them to go out into the public.

 

Police Are Using Drones To Enforce Social Distancing In America’s Backyards

 

April 20, 2020 By Chrissy Clark

Police departments across the country are resorting to the use of drone surveillance to enforce social distancing in both public and private spaces during statewide shelter-in-place orders.

New footage shot by MSNBC shows police in Elizabeth, New Jersey using drones to look for people not social distancing in areas their patrol cars cannot access.

“The drones make it easier for people to see into certain areas where access by patrol car is more difficult,” Rehema Ellis, an NBC news correspondent said. “That includes tight spaces between buildings, in garages, near open doors or windows, behind schools, and in backyards including decks and pools.”

Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage told MSNBC that cities need to get creative, and defended the intrusive tactic as potentially saving lives with either fines or jail.

“If these drones save one life, it is clearly worth the activity and the information the drones are sending,” the mayor said.

When a drone identifies a group of people collected together, such as individuals quarantined in their backyard, it says, “you should not be congregating in groups.” Consequences for refusing to abide by the drones in Elizabeth, NJ include a court summons or a $1,000 fine.

In Lewes, Delaware, the police department is using drones to fly over bike trails and beaches. According to a local news station, the Lewes PD Chief said the state may use the drones in the future to enforce out-of-state quarantine protocols. Anyone with an out-of-state license plate would be subject to a state enforced mandatory 14 day lock down at their expense, vehicle impound and a substantial fine of not less than $500 per person.

“We haven’t used it to do a car stop of an out-of-state vehicle yet but we will at some point have to try that. Actually stop the car with the drone up near the window to announce the out-of-state quarantine restrictions the governor has put in place and hold the vehicle to law enforcement arrives,” said Lewes Police Chief Thomas Spell.

The Mayor of Stratford, Connecticut instituted a $5000 fine for individuals caught avoiding social distancing guidelines. In other Connecticut cities, police or drones who catch groups in violation of social distancing guidelines use the opportunity to educate and warn citizens.

“We need to make it understood that we are very serious about enforcing the governor’s executive orders at our public facilities, and those who disobey will be cited or jailed” said Stratford Mayor Laura Hoydick.

A Chinese company known as Da Jiang Innovations (DJI) donated these types of drones to law enforcement agencies in 23 states. Last May, the Department of Homeland Security issued a memo warning that Chinese drones are possible security risks, ripe for the “potential use for terrorism, mass casualty incidents, interference with air traffic, as well as corporate espionage and invasions of privacy.”

After introducing new legislation against buying Chinese-made technology in 2019, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., warned about potential data risks. “China now has in their law the availability to take information from virtually every Chinese company,” Warner told NPR. “As long as no specific laws exists, that provides a whole set of vulnerabilities to be debated."

These drones have been distributed at in the following 23 states.  Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota,Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin .

Governors, Mayors and Police departments across the nation say they are taking drone usage upon themselves to save lives . It was stated that in a national crisis they are allowed suspend all civil liberties and void the Bill of Rights in the name of public safety and social distancing guidelines. That includes surveillance day or night, outside and to view inside private property with out prior notice. GPS data and digital imaging is than transmitted to local enforcement squads to take actions needed to cite and fine the social distancing violators.

 

Drone invasions of private property clearly violate the 4th Amendment, and no new laws exist to allow the use of invasive surveillance technology by governments, health officials or police departments.

 

 Police are using drones to enforce social distancing by spying on Americans in their backyards. Police the invasion of privacy is worth it “if it saves one life.”

At a certain point even the most obsequious bootlickers will have had enough I just hope int comes before it is too late.
