I can.
It's a technicality. If the government can bypass the Fourth Amendment by using our own tax dollars to create and sustain an entire industry whose sole purpose is to vacuum up and feed information about us back to the state, that doesn't just skirt the Constitution; it violates its spirit.
The Fourth isn't a loophole to be gamed through privatization; it's a hard limit on government power over the people.
@joboygbp @TaraBull808 In your case I’ll have to excuse it but normally people with properly functioning brains can want less criminals while simultaneously demanding that cops respect our constitutional rights as those two positions aren’t contradictory.
@XisBased@maximustorch @TaraBull808 Body cam footage is public record, so they couldn’t stop it from being released if someone wants it. It was probably released thru a Freedom of Information Act request, likely as the result of the filing of a lawsuit
@XisBased@maximustorch @TaraBull808 So when he wins hundreds of thousands of dollars from taxpayers and the cops are fired, will you change your opinion and realize that you have no understanding of your own civil rights?
@XisBased@maximustorch @TaraBull808 At no point was he non-compliant as no lawful orders were given. Unless he is being detained he is under no obligation to identify himself even if asked by police
@ValentinTheMad@Ulyssesthebear@MattWalshBlog@KenDBerryMD@anthony_chaffee You don’t need to grossly under eat though. Like he said if your metabolic rate is 1700 calories and you eat 1600 calories, then you are at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight. This can be done in moderation over time without drastic changes
@ValentinTheMad@Ulyssesthebear@MattWalshBlog@KenDBerryMD@anthony_chaffee But just because basal metabolic rate varies doesn’t refute the calories in, calories out argument. If you consume less calories than you can metabolize, then you will lose weight even if your metabolic rate slows down
“Police department… come to the door… I’ll be out here all day…” Without a doorbell camera, this would be written up as a “consensual” knock and talk, akin to to a Girl Scout selling cookies. When in reality this was an aggressive display of authority and a warrantless intrusion into the sanctity of the home, which includes this front porch. So, a 4th Amendment violation. She did awesome though…
