    So Much For The Constitutional Rights of The People

    If they are still in hot pursuit, yes. If he truly got away and they had no clue until the tip, then probably not. Hot pursuit is an important factor, not just in this case, but it also allows, for example, for you to pursue someone you catch stealing something from you, and then take it back by...

    So Much For The Constitutional Rights of The People

    I think you'll find that the "active crime scene" was both at the bank and where they tracked the suspect to. The scenes aren't mutually exclusive.

    So Much For The Constitutional Rights of The People

    I don't have a problem with what they did, either. Like you said, it was part of an active crime scene. I do think this is funny, though: The search lasted between an hour and a half and two hours, and it wasn’t until the final car was searched that police apprehended the suspect. Just like...

    So Much For The Constitutional Rights of The People

    It's a police thing. ""Your First Amendment rights can be terminated," yells the Chicago police officer, caught on video right before arresting two journalists outside a Chicago hospital. One, an NBC News photographer, was led away in handcuffs essentially for taking pictures in a public...

    More on Mormonism

    The more I read from the thread starter, the more it seems this thread belongs in the Loading Dock and not the Soapbox. In an attempt to keep it in The Soapbox, if you haven't looked into this allegation of magic underwear because you think it really isn't important, then you should set aside...

    Help please

    What size in pixel dimensions and kilobytes is the signature pic? Does the pic show up when you "preview" your signature changes as you are making them? Is the pic uploaded to EO or is it stored on another Web site? What steps, exactly, are you taking to insert the pic into your sig?

    More Regulations, This One About Pets in Cars and Trucks in NJ.

    New Jersey has long been identified as the state where its citizens enjoy the least amount of liberty. Connecticut is a close second. I love the last line in the USA Today piece: "More than 5,400 Americans die each year in car accidents caused by distracted driving, primarily as a result of...

    June Locations and all the Banter who can post!

    It appears that my steering rack, steering column shaft, and various and sundry steering issues like turn signal not canceling out after turning, steering position sensor freaking out, and a few other things are sorted out. Two racks, one defective, a new steering column shaft, and 5 alignments...

    Obama a poor socialist

    Some in the Democratic Party may view him as a pragmatist, but he's far from pragmatic. The examples in the piece of why Obama isn't a Socialist all miss the mark. They are viewing him in the context of Classical Socialism, but they fail to see that Classical Socialism's time has long passed...

    Fact check

    Someone needs to go look up the definition of cult. The negative connotation of the term is a relatively recent addition to the lexicon. But in all definitions it is derived from cultivate. To grow something by using repeated procedures, namely traditions and rites. Catholicism is cult...

    The Future (End) of Truck Driving is Closer Than You Think

    His death was only a rumor. Sgt. Pepper. A little help from my friends. What would you do if I sang out of key?

    I Have Always Loved Cucumbers, this just adds to it!!

    Sliced onions added to the mix also works. Slice up some cucumbers and onions, put them in the equal-parts water-vinegar mixture with a little salt added to brine, some like sugar added, some don't, but the onions add their own sweetness, then leave it in the fridge for a couple or three days...

    Smoke this one over.

    And yet people still text while driving, sometimes with kids in the car, despite all the advertising and warnings. Young people know that they're invincible. The problem with knowing full well that you'll be impaired if you get drunk or high is the fact that once you get drunk or high, you're...

    Smoke this one over.

    You bet it's a big deal with the Division of Child Services. It's such a big deal to them that they make a big deal out of it when it's not even a big deal. They've gotta justify their jobs somehow. That's kinda one of my point. They take your child away without due process, and then you've got...

    Reckless, possibly, but that would be only if she was aware of the danger and chose to ignore it. Same with KNOWINGLY endangered. In order for that to be true, her intent would be to injure the baby. There is nothing in the story to indicate she was intentionally trying to cause harm to the...

    I Have Always Loved Cucumbers, this just adds to it!!

    I love cucumbers, too, but they aren't exactly the mother lode of vitamins and minerals (and quick pick-me-up carbs) implied above. One medium to large cucumber (one full cup, sliced) contains a little under 4 carbs and about 16 calories. Most of the minerals are in trace amounts. The B vitamins...

    All that depends on how many miles are on it, especially since it's a 12-year-old van.

    I don't know how you could possibly come to that conclusion, considering I didn't say or even hint at anything of the sort. You are allowed to say anything you want. I'm simply telling you what my answer will be to any of those types of questions that might be posed. I never gave any indication...
