Would you be okay with the prohibition of firearms if it lowered the crime rate? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 02:18:26 AM
There's a reason we have Constitutional rights. Casting a wider net means you'll probably catch more criminals, but you're going to "catch"--and convict--more innocents to.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

What I don't like about this decision... Legolas - 01/06/2010 08:21:02 PM 876 Views
I think the only potential issue is if the person didn't understand the Miranda warning. Tom - 01/06/2010 10:37:42 PM 809 Views
Damn you common sense!!! *NM* everynametaken - 02/06/2010 02:56:17 AM 350 Views

I'm more referring to the almost "magic words" that Kennedy introduces here. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:18:07 AM 845 Views
So we should not allow police to question people at all? random thoughts - 02/06/2010 12:31:27 AM 767 Views
You won't hear me complain if the Miranda rights are scaled back a bit. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:40:23 AM 750 Views
The goal is not to keep guilty people from confessing random thoughts - 02/06/2010 01:48:48 AM 783 Views
The way I see it... everynametaken - 02/06/2010 03:06:01 AM 915 Views

This seems reasonable to me. Joel - 01/06/2010 09:47:34 PM 864 Views

Nothing has changed random thoughts - 02/06/2010 01:56:08 AM 795 Views
