Drinking & Driving - 0 views

  •  
    This article was full of statistics proving that no one should get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming alcohol. There are laws that are trying to be passed to mark the vehicle in some way or revoke your license. We all know that the punishment come gradually but could it change these mind blowing statistics if we put the revoking law in effect for a first time offender? We are talking about the lives of innocent people. Very interesting. it gives me something to consider.

Automobile Searches legal definition of Automobile Searches - 2 views

  •  
    Balancing the Fourth Amendment rights and the need for law enforcement to obtain useful evidence is very difficult. in many cases, law enforcement officials have not been able to secure the evidence needed to proceed with the conviction process of suspects.
  •  
    I understand an automobile is private property but I don't see the problem with searches. If someone is worried about their vehicle being searched than there is probably something in there that shouldn't be and it needs to be searched!
  •  
    I agree searches should be allowed in investigations. Our rights are ment to protect us, but many want to use it for selfish reasons.

Revisiting the Second Amendment's right to bear arms - 0 views

  •  
    The second amendment can be confusing. Is the right to bear arms only for your house or for your car too? Some states make you have a permit to carry a gun in your vehicle. If it applies to only in the home, why can you have one in the car if you have a permit?
  •  
    Washington Bureau Reporting from Washington - The 2nd Amendment's "right to keep and bear arms" is proving to be a right to keep a gun at home, but so far not a right to bear a loaded firearm in public.

Ranchers Alarmed by Killing Near Border - 0 views

  • Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene to the Mexican border 20 miles away. Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.
  •  
    This NY Times article looks into the murder of Robert Krentz, the Arizona farmer, who was shot to death in Cochise County. Clues led to the possibility that it may have been an illegal alien who shot and killed Mr. Krentz. This event occurred during the heated debate as to whether Arizona's new immigration law, requiring documentation of legal status in the United States, should go into effect.

Do Mandatory Seat Belt Laws Violate Individual Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    It is a well known fact that is is the federal law to wear a seatbelt when in a motor vehicle. This is due to the thousands that have died because they didn't wear one and got in an accident somehow. However, many feel that this law violated their personal rights. They are convinced that they should be able to wear one or not wear one. It should be up to them.
