SCOTUS rules that fleeing the police is a violent felony

[Lord Humungus]

wow, I'm a felon!

I once outran a cop in my '68 Firebird. Needless to say, back in '87 a Dodge Diplomat was not a fast car.

[skr]

me too whee

[OO]

my HS buds & I outran the cops once too in my sweet 72 chevelle SS. when we got far enough ahead, we killed the lights & ducked in a drive bet houses until they went by. and we didnt even dump our beers!

[sarcasmic]

I did the same thing in a Ford Tempo.
Instead of speed I used my knowledge of the windy road to get ahead before I ducked off and killed the lights.

[Mainer]

You've got my respect for eluding the cops in a Tempo. Were your balls riding shotgun ?

[Clich? Bandit]

i agree with that sentiment. I was in an 89 LX 5.0 with SouthSide Machine bars, Flomaster headers and H pipe (no cats at all) on a windy road but I was the passenger...My balls were riding inside puckered but.

When I was in HS I used to work in a small neighboring town restaurant on the weekends. Every Saturday evening on my way home I would rocket down the highway in my 76 grand prix. there was a cop who used to sit in the same spot to catch speeders and every time I'd wizz by, he light up the cherries and make a pathetic attempt to catch me.

He must have realized that I did this at the same time every Saturday so he eventually wised up and got a head start. This time, when I realized I wasn't loosing him I ducked into a residential area as quickly as I could and zig-zagged through the streets at the highest speed my car could handle. I found a driveway, parked, and laid low.

A few minutes later, the cop strolls up at about 15 mph, and taps on my window. I asked him "how did you catch me?", he replied "wasn't hard, you left skidmarks around every turn."

[In Time of War]

Not mention all the dead pets and pedestrians. You want to drive like a moron, stay out of residential areas.

[Paul]

It was different times. People had more children back then... for just this kind of thing.

[OO]

u musta been the weird kid we all beat-up & peed on

[mr simple]

Risk of violence is inherent to vehicle flight," Kennedy said. "It is well known that when offenders use motor vehicles as their means of escape they create serious potential risks of physical injury to others. Flight from a law enforcement officer invites, even demands, pursuit.

Maybe they should just make driving a car a felony, as every time someone gets behind the wheel it creates risk and the police are apparently helpless in their addiction to pursuit. Weren't there places that were trying to outlaw police chases?

[Marshall Gill]

This is nothing compared to what happened here in Oklahoma last year. Someone was fleeing from the cops and one of the cops got into a fatal accident. They actually charged the guy with murder!

[whoa]

That was fast.

Well. Done.

[John Dutton Frost]

Police claim they represent the organization's leadership in Spain and that they directed attacks against the country's central election board, the Catalan police and the UGT, a major Spanish trade union.

I think they can also be linked to JFK, MLK, and the Lindbergh kidnapping.

Does wearing a Guy Fawkes mask make you
(A) part of an elite anonymous hacker group.
(B) a domestic terrorist
(C) a virgin

[Brett L]

Definitely (C). I have my quibbles with "elite". Some are elite, others are running scripts and basically providing computer cycles.

[Pro Libertate]

(A) part of an effete anonymous hacker group?

[Fatty Bolger]

You have to admire the English ability to hold a grudge. 400 years and still going strong.

[Radical Islamists]

Ahem.

[Pro Libertate]

You know, that's mostly nonsense. They adopted that position recently (picking up an old medieval outlook). During the years when the Ottomans had settled down into their empire, I don't think there was anything much like that going on. Sure, there were wars and even wars of conquest, but it wasn't this kind of whacked out foolishness.

[LarryA]

But the excuse fueling the cause is still 4 millenia old.

I'd prefer not to have the actual context. I know this is wrong, but if you drew a cheesy Gallic moustache on Veronique, she'd look just like "V". Coincidence? I'm really starting to wonder.

Yes, actually, it does. That, combined with your other efforts, brings the total odds to...

Totally missed a Firefly quotation opportunity. "Let's see. Nothin'. Times nothin'. Carry the nothin'. Still nothin'!"

[Matrix]

I dunno. I think Sony really had it coming with it's treatment of George Hotz and others. The PS3 was marketed as being able to install Linux. A few years later, Sony puts out an update that removes other OSs from being used on the system, thus taking away Linux.

I don't agree with going after user-data, but Sony needed to be taught a lesson.

[Kwix]

"Police say their raids turned up software used to make malware and sophisticated encryption tools, as well as a program called LOIC, which the hackers used to carry out DDoS campaigns."
That is to say, a C++ or some other compiler and PGP. Holy shit, if your computer doesn't have these things on it, your doin' it wrong.

[Matt Felch]

I have the LOIC around somewhere. Shit's mega funny. Having something and using it maliciously are two different things.

"Cyber crime" hysteria has quickly become a witch hunt against people who know how to use a computer. As someone who works in the IT field, most people have no understanding about how these magic boxes work, and even less of an understanding about how "cyber crime" and the internet work.

Oh hell, time to turn that doorway degauss coil back on. Go ahead pigs, take w/e you want. Just dont leave through the window.

You read Stephenson, too I see.

That's usually how they come in.

"Mission Accomplished"

[Michael]

From the writers of Super Troopers, Steve Martin is Inspector Clouseau in Anonymous Justice, a film by Michael Bay.

[Matrix]

I'm sure it will have a lot of explosions.

[Michael]

And special effects by Industrial Light and Magic.

[And]

Endless, boring criticism by Episiarch et al.

[Pro Libertate]

Bay is a pretty crappy director. You don't have to be Episiarch to think so.

[Michael]

That's why I tagged him as director--his films are unintentionally funny.

[Pro Libertate]

It's great having Bay as a director, because I can easily identify movies I don't want to see.

[And]

Still boring.

Wait, I'm confused about the movie. So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up?

"A mask? A stupid mask? This is the best that libertarianism can throw at us?"

[Sphynx]

Since the public keeps complaining that our S.W.A.T. member's balaclavas make them look terrifyingly like the Gestapo's Stormtroopers (Die Sturmkavalleristen des Gestapo), all hostile entry forces will now wear masks like this.

The public need not fear thier dog being shot by a frowning or anonymous soldier/policeman again. Everyone must SMILE now!
