15-Yr-Old Says Cop Ordered Her To Undress, Examined Her Privates To "Check" Whether She Had Sex
posted 07/02/2012, 2:13 AM (InformationLiberation) [Category: Tyranny/Police State]
Fourty-six-year-old Juan De Los Rios is not a forensic gynecologist, he's an 18-year-veteran police officer and a captain of the Miramar police department in Florida. Yet, after he stumbled upon a car with two young people talking to one another in the back seat, he decided to take on the role of the former, ordering the 15-year-old girl he came across to disrobe, then examining her privates in extreme detail with a flashlight to "check" to see if she had had sex.
Via the Miami Herald:
According to the arrest affidavit, the girl was sitting in the back of a car with a 19-year-old friend parked in the back lot of a business plaza in Miramar after school on Jan. 18, when a man approached the car and looked at them through the window.
He asked them to roll down the window.
Because he was in a dark-blue uniform and wearing a gold badge, the teens thought he was a police officer and complied.
The man then began to question them. At one point, he leaned against the window, looked at them, gave a hard long pause and asked: “Well, were you having sex? What are you doing here?”
The girl quickly responded “no, no, no, officer no,” the affidavit said. The girl told police she and her friend were just talking.
But the man told the girl he “needed to check.”
The girl asked “Check what?”
“I need to see inside,” he responded.

The American Nightmare That Is Civil Asset Forfeiture
posted 07/02/2012, 2:09 AM (Wendy McElroy) [Category: Commentary] Being innocent does not matter. Not being arrested or convicted of a crime is no protection. With amazing ease, the government can take everything you own. And to recover it, you must prove your innocence through an expensive and difficult court proceeding in which a severely lowered standard of evidence favors the government. This is civil asset forfeiture.

Take Your Bureaucratic Hands Off My Microwave
posted 07/02/2012, 2:09 AM (Jeffrey Tucker) [Category: Commentary] The Department of Energy, which is the Supreme Court of your home appliances, thinks you might be wasting precious energy. And the bureaucrats have a plan for doing something about it. They want to take away the clock on your microwave oven. You know, that's the little digital display that we oddly depend on to tell us what time it is.
The bureaucrats say find some other way. Use your smartphone. Buy a wristwatch. Better yet, use a sundial. Whatever you do, just remember: The gove... (more) |
Demystifying the State
posted 07/02/2012, 2:09 AM (Wendy McElroy) [Category: Commentary] Mystification is the process by which the commonplace is elevated to the level of the divine by those who have a vested interest in its unassailability. Government is a perfect example of mystification at work. Government is a group of individuals organized for the purpose of extracting wealth and exerting power over people and resources in a given geographic area. Ordinarily people object to and resist thieves and robbers; but in the case of government, they do not because the government has cr... (more) |
The Mandate Was Never the Issue
posted 07/02/2012, 2:07 AM (Jacob G. Hornberger) [Category: Commentary] It really doesn’t matter which way the Supreme Court ruled on President Obama’s healthcare mandate. As long as the government is involved in healthcare, there is going to be an endless series of interventions, leading ultimately to a total government takeover of the entire healthcare arena.
For months, we have seen conservatives obsessing over the mandate, suggesting that the defeat of the mandate would be some sort of gigantic victory for economic freedom.

Top CIA Spy Accused of Being a Mafia Hitman
posted 07/02/2012, 2:06 AM (Wired) [Category: Tyranny/Police State] Enrique “Ricky” Prado’s resume reads like the ultimate CIA officer: veteran of the Central American wars, running the CIA’s operations in Korea, a top spy in America’s espionage programs against China, and deputy to counter-terrorist chief Cofer Black — and then a stint at Blackwater. But he’s also alleged to have started out a career as a hitman for a notorious Miami mobster, and kept working for the mob even after joining the CIA. Finally, he went on to serve...
