Brickbat: Not Permitted

Christina Broadway of Marietta, Georgia, says she doesn't feel safe after her security cameras caught a city employee entering her home without her permission while she was at a funeral. City officials say the man was a code enforcement officer who had a right to enter the home because he thought he saw construction without the proper permits taking place at the residence.

"Papers Please"... You can't be a legal human without them... Can't be married, or divorced, or even a dead legal human... Can't be a cat, or a dog, in many places... Can't be an interior decorator, can't be a house, a barn, or an outhouse... Can't be a drug, food, or a drink without proper paper labels... Twat CAN we BE, any moah, without PROPER PAPERS? Can I be a proper pooper without proper-pooper-papers?

"Can I be a proper pooper without proper-pooper-papers?"

I've decided that I'll no longer give a shit! Shit's the ONLY way to be sure!

My dad's new neighbor walked into his house and delivered a quart of fresh strawberries. We arrived with Dad back at his house immediately after this occurred as both his old and new neighbors were in discussion parked in the driveway. The old neighbor said to just put the strawberries in the refrigerator even though we were away. We went in the house and sure enough, there was a quart of strawberries in the fridge. Just the way the neighborhood works

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Did your neighbor have state powers and use them against your family? Might be the difference.

[GOD OF PENGUIN ISLAND]

What does this have to do with this story?

[rbike]

Similar action different outcome.

Were you wearing an onion on your belt?

[Quo Usque Tandem]

The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

So regardless, the city official had NO RIGHT, any thoughts, suspicious, or assumptions or intentions aside, to enter their premises under any context. If a police officer reasonably perceived an exigent circumstance [a body on the floor, someone screaming for help] constituting a probable cause there are exceptions; but otherwise you must have permission or a warrant.

It has nothing to do with "how a neighborhood works."

[rbike]

Yes.

[Mickey Rat]

No harm, property lines are just imaginary and arbitrary, like national borders.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Not only does the employee not have the right, the practice is putting his life at risk.

[MollyGodiva]

Really? A code enforcement officer, who hates lowly code enforcement officers so much that that they would......nvm I see.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Isn't it great when all of the usual trolls troll on one another?

Let's see how city employee feels when a Tren de Aragua flashes a fake ID and comes in with his 'friends'
CIty employee is WRONG

[SQRLSY]

Even an accused member of Tren de Aragua deserves "due process" before being sent to El Salvador to be tortured, so sending an accused city building inspector-parasite to El Salvador to be tortured, without first verifying that shit really IS a city building inspector-parasite, sounds kinda harsh!

If ye read the link, shit seems that the "cuntstruction workers" working the so-called "cuntstruction job" (the owner says it was merely decorative or cosmetic ass I recall) left the front door open during that time. So the Government Almighty building inspector-parasite just freely strolled right in ! Flies, rats, mice, snakes, and other varmints will do that, you know... Just sashay right in, through any available opening. So... Setting fly paper, glue traps, or other traps for this varmint might be the more appropriate anti-pest measure here...

I said a REAL member of Tren de Aragua.
While you are being killed you won't be all that interested in your distinction

[SQRLSY]

While I am being killed by a native-born GOOD, True Tribal AmeriKKKan, I won't be all that interested in YOUR distinction distinction between those with and without "Papers Please"!

The native-born are ALSO threats to the Sacred Pubic Welfare! Some of them DO cummit murders!!! Send them ALL, these DIRTY invaders, back UP the birth canals that they came from!!!

Shit never ceases to amaze me, how the "logic" of the brutal cave-dwellers justifies just about ANYTHING that they want to do! Hey... Timmy McVeigh was a mass murderer and A WHITE DUDE!!! Therefor, let us send to El Salvador, without trial, for duly deserved TORTUROUS PUNISHMENT, all of the white dudes!!!

[Stupid Government Tricks]

This is a bad summary of what happened. It makes it sound like some random county code enforcer stopped by, unlocked her front door, and wandered around looking at her things, then left.

She had construction workers at her house. They were inside and outside. The door was open. He wandered around looking at the work they were doing because he knew there were no construction permits at that address.

He still had no right to enter her house. He still needed a warrant. He's an officious bureaucratic control-freak prick, and I hope he pays a fortune for trespassing under the color of law or whatever she can stick him with.

But he wasn't just wandering around at random all by his lonesome.

[GOD OF PENGUIN ISLAND]

Reason left out facts that doesn’t fit their narrative? I’m shocked.

And as I’ve repeatedly said all this does is effect their credibility. As you note, the guy was still in the wrong.

[SQRLSY]

Reason left out facts...

They did SNOT leave out the facts... For people who are smart enough to read the cuntents of the link provided!

WHY did Ye PervFectly omit the shit in Your PervFected Post, about Ye having been dropped on Yer PervFected Head, many times, when Ye were a PervFect Baby? (Ass Ye still are!)

[MollyGodiva]

None of what you said is relevant. He entered without a warrant and that is a 4A violation.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Give it a rest. The summary implied things that weren't. Your "none" is wrong too. I said he was in the wrong.

He still had no right to enter her house. He still needed a warrant. He's an officious bureaucratic control-freak prick, and I hope he pays a fortune for trespassing under the color of law or whatever she can stick him with.

And don't get all huffy about being out-pedanted. You were wrong.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

That is difficult for Tony/Molly [maybe "he" transitioned]

[Think It Through]

It's entirely relevant to understand the story. I wondered because the story didn't cover it, how did he get in? Did he break and enter? Did she leave it unlocked?

Oh construction workers were going in and out and the house was unlocked. That's a key fact to even understand what the hell happened here.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

My understanding of the law indicates that so much as turning a door knob and or pushing a door constitutes "breaking and entering." Regardless the guy overstepped, as government employees routinely do.

[bye]

First time in months, but I agree with you and must in fairness say that I do.

[Bubba Jones]

Meh. The inspector entered an active worksite.

The construction work appears to require permits, but it's hard to parse the passive voice of the press release.

You can argue about the existence of permits, but given that permits are a normal thing, it's not unreasonable for an inspector to stop by, during normal hours, while construction crews are actively working.

This is a dumb hill to die on.

[Think It Through]

Correct, and the presence of workers and an active worksite makes it a much different story than "inspector sneaks into my house while I was gone," which is how it is currently written.

[GroundTruth]

Words have meaning, and staff of Reason should know better:

"... code enforcement officer who had a right authority ..."

I'm going to keep harping on this until someone explains why I am wrong. Governmental personnel have authority, not rights. Rights come from our Creator and governments are there to protect those rights (sound familiar?).

Words have meaning and an important tool we have for making progress in this perpetual battle for Liberty is to be very clear what we are fighting for: personal rights being protected from excessive and abusive governmental authority and power.

[bye]

and --- keep going --- -YOU unquestionably have the right that trumps their so-called authority. IF you can keep law enforcement out without a warrant you can keep a measly building inspector out just because you don't want him there at that time.

Oh!!!!!! the word 'public servant' Res ipsa loquitur !!!

Key Omissions:

He proceeded to the front door, that was open

The workers asked if they should call and inform the property owner, which he replied “yes”, but the owner did not respond.

The property owner later contacted the employee’s supervisor, who offered to review the situation on site, but the property owner declined.

What Chazzyfag should have done was question this: with probable cause that unpermitted illegal construction was taking place

But, he didn't. ¯\(ツ)/¯
