jackWhat are the safeguards put in place to protect the individual from the tyranny of the State?
I can only think of these:
A person may not be arrested without a warrant, unless he is caught breaking the law.
A person may not be prosecuted twice for the same offence or made to be a witness against him/herself.
What else? Thanks
I’m sorry, I was thinking your question asked, "In what way are individual freedoms being eroded?"
Yeah, I learned all that stuff in school about the "Bill of Rights" and actually there are over a hundred amendments to the US Constitution, with all these "protections". (I think) The British don’t actually have a Constitution -per se- in the same way, but a system of "precedents" -to my understanding, but it works out simillarly.
HOWEVER, I think a lot of it –a WHOLE lot of it– is only only cosmetic! They pretend to have all these freedoms, and they teach you all about them in school, and yet in the real actual world in which you live, they are being eroded moment by moment –as we speak.
I’ll admit, that sometimes courts do rule in favor of an "underdog" –if he can afford to even GET to a court. Truth is : administrations pack the courts with folks they trust to "vote their way".
Look at Pakistan, don’t like the judges opinions about the legality of your decisoions..you just CHUCK them.
Zimbabwe, you overstay your legal mandate –several years– and the are voted OUT anyway, and you send groups of armed thugs to throw the rightful owners of the land off, and even allow them to kill the occupants, and all the employees to go hungry because they’ve also lost their jobs. In so doing, you’ve also broken the back of the only industry that WAS keeping the country alive the successful agriculture, run by those who knew how to make it work. So the judges speak up..finally.. and say, "Thus far and no furthur!" and you turn around and say, in the purest of hypocritical audaciousness, "Oh our police won’t be able to protect the judges if they say that!" or as they say in Sicilian Brooklyneese: "He-sa no do-a like Papa Gambino say –He-sa gonna sleepa widda fishes!"
All this to say, "It ain’t necesarrily so!" These freedoms though they look altruistic on paper are not necessarily much help in the real world at all, because the octopus of state control has his tenlcles so well wrapped between you and these high-sounding "protections"
I might add that they often (constitutional protections) often end up aiding and abetting the criminals, and those other scoundels who happen to be able to afford a scruple –less lawyer.
Jesus had plenty of "State Protections" in place to keep Him from being condemned as an innocent man, but they didn’t, and He was!
Times may have changed a bit since then, but the heart of man is still just the same. "desperately wicked..who can know it?"
Why don’t lawmakers seem to consider to police brutality to be a serious problem?
News reports police tasering, beating and sometimes murdering American citizens, but the lawmakers in Congress don’t seem to consider police brutality as a kind of terrorism against the American people. Why not?
It wasn’t until recent times that these stories started coming out into the public.
The police use brutality so that the people who are in power can continue to rule through fear.
Lady justice may be blind, but those scales always reveal who has the most money to her.

Click on "customize planet" on the left, then search in the buildings and decorations by clicking on the right arrows. The cage is next to the skulls and bones.
What percent of murderers in the US that get caught receive the death penalty?
why do some of the most heinous crimes just get prison like a vacation where they eat, play, work out, and have fun instead of putting them to death? I think if anyone kills someone intentionally in the 1st degree, they should get the death penalty. There DNA and a whole lot of evidence proving everything. Theres, fingerprints, surveillance cameras almost everywhere. What more proof do you need? The odds of an innocent person in todays modern society being guilty of murder is extremely unlikely to impossible.
why should it cost so much do have a death penalty? Why dont they have everything go through like a regular trial?
Only a tiny fraction of 1% ever get executed.
"The odds of an innocent person in todays modern society being guilty of murder is extremely unlikely to impossible"
You are joking, right?
In just the last few years, literally hundreds of people have been freed from prison after it was *proved* that they did not commit the crimes for which they were convicted.
Take a look at the Innocence Projects home page here… http://www.innocenceproject.org/
This is just ONE organization, that ONLY takes the most serious cases, and ONLY takes cases where there is DNA evidence, and they have had over 230 people exonerated. Some of these people spent decades in prison for crimes that they never committed, and were often convicted because cops or DA’s deliberately violated the law by soliciting or buying perjured testimony, hiding exculpatory evidence, presenting fabricated forensics, or almost any other type of misconduct you can imagine.
In addition, DNA and fingerprint evidence is available in only a small fraction of cases.
In at least one recent execution in Texas, the defendant was convicted based ONLY on an eye-witness identification by a woman who later admitted that she was shown the defendants picture and told "This is the guy that did it" AFTER she had told the cops she couldn’t identify the man, who she had seen from over 100′ away at night in heavy rain, while he was wearing a hooded jacket.
Further, during his attempt to get a re-trial (Denied on procedural grounds) she admitted that she had tried to recant her testimony because she really couldn’t identify him, but the investigating detective told her that if she did so, he would have her arrested and charged with lying to the police.
Even when it is available, it may not be tested. Joseph O’Dell, for example, was executed in 1997 for a 1986 murder and rape. The rape kit – including semen from the victim that would have conclusively proved whether O’Dell was, or was not, the killer – was never tested for DNA. When O’Dell was first tried DNA testing wasn’t yet used, and by the time it became accepted, O’Dells time limit to appeal had expired. The Supreme Court declined to allow an untimely appeal despite their own finding that there were "…very serious doubts as to whether O’Dell committed the crime." After O’Dell was executed, the Virginia courts ordered the rape kit and all the other evidence burned without being tested.
Even the Supreme Court has ruled that even *absolute proof* of a defendants actual innocence is not enough to overturn a conviction if the time limit for appeals has expired or their is no evidence of deliberate State misconduct.
