However, such stops likely violate residents'' constitutional rights to freely assemble and protections against unreasonable police searches, said Holly Dickson, a lawyer for the ACLU of Arkansas who addressed the council at its packed Tuesday meeting. Because of that, Dickson said any convictions coming from the arrests likely would be overturned.
---------------------------------
The police HAVE a reasonable cause to search provided to them by the city council and they are carrying out a legal directive. If the ACLU wants to sue anyone they can try and sue the city council.
Reasonable people want reasonable security and as far as the ACLU goes (on this matter) they can rot in H*LL.

Drugs can and will never be stoped so should be regulated and taxed. Is far past Time to admit failure unless you want to use those terrorist finding powers on us americans (again). Does War on Drugs II sound like a good plan to you? How about a phone and email tap or GPS on your car?

Where is the FBI you asked? They are creating a file on every person (American) and assigning a rating for their potential to cause terror.

Currently, FBI agents need specific reasons - like evidence or allegations that a law probably has been violated - to investigate U.S. citizens and legal residents. The new policy, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press, would let agents open preliminary terrorism investigations after mining public records and intelligence to build a profile of traits that, taken together, were deemed suspicious. Among the factors that could make someone subject of an investigation is travel to regions of the world known for terrorist activity, access to weapons or military training, along with the person''''s race or ethnicity.

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once wrote: "The government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by example. To declare that the end justifies the means - to declare that the government may commit crimes - would bring terrible retribution."

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government''''s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding."
J Louis D. Brandeis, dissenting in Olmstead v United States, 277 US 438, 479 (1928).

You have to Remember. We are not dealing with the average Moron here folks. arkansas is full of OXY-Morons! Much more dangerous!

The citizens deserve peace, that some infringement on constitutional rights is OK and we have not violated anything as far as the Constitution."

They want to bankrupt the whole city in and area of extreme poverty. This sounds like a suicide pact which maybe ok for akansas. but try that anywhere armed people care about their rights and you have to potential for a blood bath before any court hears a case.

Officer: sir what are you doing out at this hour.

Citizen: waiting for some dip$hit cop to violate my rights so I can''t shoot or sue him if necessary and his department and the city. Plus the governor, FBI, and Justice Dept. who did not stop this violation of my rights.

Officer: Have a nice night.

A degree (mine is English) in most cases, is only a ticket to work for someone else. For some, it means a lifetime of slavery. Your best bet is to start your own business ASAP so that you can retire early and enjoy life.

I''''ll pit my Duke education against that low budget college of yours any day.

I do know one thing,, If they stopped using a slideruler in their huddle, they might win more than 2 or 3 games a season. LOL

BTW,,That was a compliment, really. If most other teams only KNEW what a slideruler is, that would be a victory for them.
