Two examples of sleazy police practices

This post about how a couple of cops gave AOL an unsigned warrant and AOL turned over personal info.

Without a judge's signature, a warrant is nothing more than a neato-toledo looking legal paper, with no power to compel anyone to do anything. Unless you subscribe to America Online.

In a bizarre legal action, a Fairfield man is suing AOL for turning his personal information over to local police in the course of an investigation. Seems police submitted an unsigned warrant to AOL, according to the legal complaint, and the company actually complied.

The plaintiff, Clifton Freedman, is also suing the town and its police force for violating his constitutional rights.

The other example of sleazy police practices is from "Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran" (SMCCDI).

"Long Live Israel, Long Live America"

The regime's plainclothes men and security agents have arrested in several cities, such as in Tehran and Esfahan, Iranians who angered by the situation had shouted publicly unprecedented slogans considered almost as a blasphemy by the ruling theocracy.

These unprecedented slogans were nothing else than "Long Live Israel !" and "Long Live America !" shouted during tens of popular Blood collect gatherings by Iranians welcoming the Israeli and American support of the quake's victims.

The popular anger has been boosted as the Islamic regime has banned any Israeli support of the quake's victims by rejecting this country's offer of aid. Many Iranians consider such rejection as another prove that the regime's leaders are more willing to let Iranians die by sacrifying them in order to keep their backwarded anti-Semite ideology.

Many also are cheering the US President for his constant support of Iranians and are qualifying the landing of US Aid planes as another "slap in the face of the regime".
