ACLU Sues State Police For Arresting Illegals

Once again the ACLU aim fire at law enforcement to defend imaginary rights of illegal immigrants furthering the decay of our national soverignty.

    Steven Brown, director of the Rhode Island affiliate, yesterday noted the unusual nature of the lawsuit filed by ACLU volunteer attorney V. Edward Formisano … “The citizenship status of the plaintiffs is really irrelevant to this lawsuit. These were individuals who were in a van that was stopped for a minor traffic violation. The question is whether police have a right to detain individuals for no other reason than the way they look …”

    Said Brown, “The law generally prohibits racial profiling on the highways. It prohibits stopping or searching vehicles based on the person’s race or ethnicity, all of which we think were present in this case. It also specifically bars police officers from detaining individuals in cars longer than necessary to address the initial traffic violation. From our perspective, that restriction was clearly violated in this case.”

So, to the ACLU, the fact that those detained were actually law breaking illegal immigrants is ‘irrelevant’? Then why should any law be relevant? Instead they prefer to focus on what they ‘think’ might have happened. The central question is whether law enforcement has the ‘right’ to enforce the law. More specifically, whether local law enforcement has the right to enforce Federal law. All I have to say is that if they don’t, they should.

The officer pulled over a van for breaking the law by changing lanes WITHOUT using a turn signal. Then he sees a van packed with fourteen people, none of which spoke English. Sounds like enough reasonable cause to ask for a few I.D.s to me. The bottom line on this case is that the law enforcement turned out to be right and are now being sued for what they should be applauded for.

We should all get Christians friends, to sue the ACLU.  And yes, the state trooper is in his rights to pull over a car/van/truck for not using their turning signals.

And I would bet that the van was not a 15 passenger van so having 14 people in it was probably over the limits. 

Good job Officer X.  I commend you for being vigilant and doing your duty. 

Now let me also state it is the duty of every citizen of this country to protect this country.  It is the duty of every citizen of this country to see this country prosper.  If you as a citizen see a group of people that are planning on bombing a civic center, it is your duty to report it.  It is your duty as a citizen to vote for officials who will represent you and your desires for this country.  And by far and large we have neglected that all important duty.
