"It is therefore cometary impacts that we must thank for the equable
spell of climate in which human history and civilisation has prospered
so spectacularly. The renewal of ice-age conditions would render a
large fraction of the world's major food-growing areas inoperable, and so would inevitably lead to the extinction of most of the present human population. Since bolide impacts cannot be called up to order, we must look to a sustained greenhouse effect to maintain the present advantageous world climate. This might imply the ability to inject effective greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the opposite of what environmentalists are erroneously advocating."

Actually, in my state at least, there is treatment. But then most
people do wind up in prison usually have either mental or emotional
illness. We are using our prisons as psych wards.
And rapists and serial murders are people with deep emotional
illness. They are usually acting out scenes from their childhood.
Many states are building special prisons just to treat them.

LOL! When I was a kid my mother wouldn't let us tear the tags off pillows
and mattresses because the tag said "It is against the law to remove this
tag." Because of that, I was an adult before I thought about it and
realized the tag was meant for the retailer.
I'm extremely disappointed in SCOTUS for this decision. The police already
act like the SS in some places. Souter wrote the majority opinion which
surprised me. Sandra O'Connor dissented which was nice to see. If we can
be handcuffed, arrested, brought to jail, frisked, and searched over such a
minor infraction as not wearing a seat belt - do we really have any privacy
left? I know that Scalia, Thomas and Rhenquist don't think the right to
privacy exists in the Constitution. What an unfortunate road we're
traveling down.

Sadly, this decision didn't change anything. Police already have the
power to arrest you for breaking almost any law. Most LEAs exercise
that power only when NOT doing so presents a clear and imminent danger
to the public. That is, they have some discretion and generally
exercise it wisely. The above case before SCOTUS challenged that power,
specifically the power to arrest & detain for misdemeanors. SCOTUS, far
from making new law (as has been suggested by most of the news reports
about this decision), instead elected to let the law remain as it was
before. In effect, they took no action.
I guess that's the definition of "conservative," though.

I don't know the wording of the law in all states, Eileen, but in NY,
summonses are only issued in lieu of arrest. Any violation of law, no
matter how slight, that can result in a summons can also - legally -
result in incarceration.
BTW, what has being arrested to do with privacy rights? (I'm a

That is a super-max or SHU (level 5) prison. They use that for
violent prisoners. There is treatment for those who are willing to
use it.

Any time a cop prevents from going where you are going, or made to be in a
place you don't want to be, you are under arrest, even if it's only for a
matter of a few seconds.
But when you're cuffed and brought to jail, that is a custodial arrest.
Common law since before the writing of the 4th Amendment - common law on
which the 4th Amendment is based - reserves the power of a peace officer to
arrest people only when they have are are likely about to engage in a breach
of peace. Not wearing your seatbelt is not a breach of peace, therefore,
not an offense for which one can be jailed under laws older than our
country.
> BTW, what has being arrested to do with privacy rights? (I'm a

It's not about privacy per se, it's about the your right against being
unreasonably seized. Of course, when you have been arrested, your privacy
is gone.

Maybe for some. I don't know.
Here's why I am unhappy with the decision.
The 4th Amendment protected us from unreasonable search and seizure. Taking
someone to jail for not having a seatbelt on is an unreasonable seizure.
It's really as plain and simple as that.
http://www.cato.org//pubs/legalbriefs/atwatervlago.pdf
As an added bonus, I am not stuck in the unenviable position of agreeing
with that pathetic liberal nanny-state loving David Souter, as you are.
Doesn't it tell you something when you find yourself in agreement with him?

That wouldn't have been activist. That would have been the proper ruling

I have to say, it appears to me finally that both are bad. A plague on both
your houses.
It would seem that it doesn't really matter who is in power, those who
support the party in power are going to back ever thing that happens during
that time, while those that support the other party are going to be against
it. There are others though, affiliated to neither party, that are going to
call it as they see it. And decisions like this are going to swell their
numbers.

No, you are wrong.
The common law prohibited the warrantless arrest of an individual for a
minor offense unless it involved a breach of the peace. A "peace officer"
at common law had "no power of arresting without warrant except when a
breach of the peace has been committed in his presence or there is
reasonable ground for supposing that a breach of the peace is about to be
committed or renewed in his presence." Halsbury's Laws of England, vol. 9,
part III, 612 (quoted in Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132, 156
(1925)).

Look. I know this is difficult, but try to think this out a little bit.
Let's say the direction toward gun control continues, and soon we find
ourselves no able to legally own a gun if we have been arrested. You may
foolishly like to tell yourself that will never happen, and it is your right
to be a fool. But it is the logical direction that the Rosie O'Donnells of
the world are pushing us toward.
Now, you're driving your car along, and Stalker Stever pulls you over
because you didn't use your turn signal soon enough before turning into your
driveway. You just broke the law. Stalker Steve happens to get his kicks
arresting people who break the law, so that's what happens to you.
When they let you out of jail an hour or so later, they escort you home and
confiscate all of your firearms, because the law is, criminals like you that
have been arrested are a danger to themselves and to society, therefore, you
cannot own a firearm.
How much are you going to enjoy the pathetic future into which you are
gladly hurtling toward?
So go ahead and and waste your time spamming this newsgroup with endless
groups of posts lamenting how the liberals are trying to make this into a
Nanny State. Just remember I told you first, they are doing it with your
blessing.

The 4th Amendment doesn't limit its protection that way. No law that
contradicts it is valid, thanks to the 14th.
N9NWO
Our prisons have a full time, on staff counselors who assigned to
each group, usually about 50 offenders. There are various therapies
to help them deal with early childhood abuse plus treatment for drug
and alcohol abuse. These can vary from group counseling to individual
secessions.
I am not sure what you are fishing for. But these are the standard
treatments that one can get on the outside but with the funding to
make sure that there is adequate services for each offender. It is
much better than what most people can afford.

The 4th doesn't state that the several states can't pass laws that
carry physical arrest and detention as a consequence of violating
them. The SCOTUS has decided that arrest for violation of the law -
any law - is not unreasonable search and seizure.
Don't complain to me - I think SCOTUS was dead wrong. I just
commented on how it is, not on how I think it should be.

"Article IV:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and
effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated;
and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the
persons or things to be seized."
In my book being hand cuffed, frisked, brought to jail and locked up for not
wearing a seat belt is unreasonable search and seizure and an invasion of my
privacy. Don't the words "secure in their persons" speak of privacy? What
else can that mean?
I'm beginning to feel like in my sleep I've been transported to another
country and everyone is just pretending this is the United States.

No felon should the same privileges as a full citizen. If you lose
your gun rights then you should have the right to vote, the right
to run for public office, the right to hold a professional license (that
is to be a lawyer, a teacher, a CPA, a doctor, or any other trusted
position that is licensed by the state). College is a privilege, no a
right. And felons are not fit to protect themselves let a lone to defend
their country.

There should be no confusion for anyone who wonders what is going to happen
to this country.You ``wish-it" into the mindspace, you deal with the
consequences.Maybe an idiot with a name like N9NWO is serious, but chances
are that it isnt.
Remember why we were *allowed* to become the greatest nation ever, and how
easy it can be taken away.
Am I kidding?

I don't think SCOTUS has ever ruled on that directly.

Not having one's person violated (unreasonable body search) without a
warrant or other reasonable means. IOW, exactly the same as "secure
in their ... houses, papers and effects". It's explained in the
second clause.

It's getting that way, isn't it? Your property can be seized and sold
before any hearing takes place, if the government maintains that the
property meets certain requirements. Then, if it's found at trial
that they were wrong, they say "oh, well", and you get to go home.
But hasn't the IRS been doing that for decades?

If they wanted to take no action they would have not heard the case. In
that way, everything would have stayed the same. Even though it's true that
the police could always arrest for a misdemeanor, it wasn't carved in stone
and it, as you mention, fell into the realm of discretionary. While the
SCOTUS ruling didn't take it out of the discretionary, a difference is now
in place. It is now a solid, nationwide law. Not all the police are good
and this law has paved the way for the most aggressive and abusive officers
to impose their power mongering ways on the least of the law breakers. It
is license for the police to act badly, and that is where the change, though
subtle, has occurred.
In times past, the majority of the public would have expected the police
officer to help Mrs. Atwater, not cuff her an haul her off to jail. It's a
sad statement that this is still not the case.

If any court would say that 'secure in their persons' means something other
than privacy, we will have reached new heights of doublespeak.

That's wrong too.

The IRS is an entity unto itself. There are no controls, no checks and
balances as in other areas of government. There are some true horror
stories that have come out of the way the IRS deals with citizens.
Clinton's administration changed the way the IRS operates to try to avoid
those problems. Even so, the IRS is not under the umbrella of regular law
enforcement.
In any case, two wrongs don't make a right.

Not exactly. I think our definitions of 'privacy' are different. I
don't consider being arrested to be an invasion of privacy.

Let me try to explain. I consider my person to be private. That fact that
frisking goes on in tandem with arrests is the invasion of privacy. The
idea of the police having the liberty to run their hands up and down my body
and through my crotch for a stinking misdemeanor makes me livid.

Eileen, that's almost never done. When it is done, it's a female
officer who does it and an invasive search has to have probable cause.
Most misdemeanor arrests involve turning your pockets inside out, and
handing over anything that can be used as a weapon, to escape, or to
injure yourself. Even some felony arrests don't involve strip
searches.
elcam2
I'm not talking about strip searches. I was talking about the patting down
that's routinely done looking for a hidden gun. The police (I believe it
was a man) did that to Mrs. Atwater who brought the suit. It would only
make a slight difference to me if the officer were a woman in this case.
It certainly wouldn't make it acceptable.
