I kind of want to go with a backpack inside a backpack, inside a backpack, inside a backpack, etc...., until the final bag has a copy of the Bill of Rights with the 4th highlighted.

Rahm and McCarthy don't need to follow the constitution, that only applies on the federal level

They get away with warrant-less searches in NYC and the ACLU is FINALLY coming around to whats going on and pushing back.

 

G-Mac came from New York, surprised it took him this long to implement the next logical step. I guess all that streetlight shooting nostalgia made him forget all about it until now ;)

I'm not real smart, but legally I guess this would be a voluntary search to be admitted to the event. I would suppose that one would have the option of refusing the search and going back home.

I'm not a Superintendent fan by any means but I think this may be the same type of "event" like a sports stadium game? Yes, public park so maybe not...

The key is they give you a choice , that is there new word . I remember their old one, change and boy it sure has changed. They give you a choice between 2 or more bad deals , nice . The state is using that also , make a choice between this and that , them later if you complain , hey you made the choice.

What's a constitutional republic?

A constitutional republic is what the U.S. is - not a democracy like many seem to think. The way I understand it, it means we are supposed to abide by what the constitution says, not necessarily what the majority wants. Too bad the constitution doesn't say, "Ye shall not elect any jerks."

If this 'really' bothers you , you are NOT gonna be happy about the new NFL policy regarding bags for the coming season:

The precaution of searching or at least announcing the potential for searching any bag is of course a direct reaction to the Boston bombings, It also sets up the classic Catch 22 situation for the police and event sponsors where they are called out for searching and if they don't and something bad happens they will be called to task for not performing even a cursory search for a known terrorist ploy.

All you have to do is get them to ban winning hockey championships like they've banned winning other sports.......then you don't have to worry about the parades or the bag searches.....****insert sarcasm****

From what I can tell from observing first hand, it appears that they are planning for the "parade" in the loop to be pretty fast moving and then things will slow down once they get on Columbus. Theyve pretty much sealed off grant park with only 2 ways in and out.

 

Its not a bad plan in trying to limit the street closure disruption in the loop.

 

We'll see how the execution goes.

If it is just for the event in the park then I am more ok with that. I still don't like it though. I don't like the govt conducting warrantless searches when you are in the public square, but you could choose not to enter the park for the event.

 

Then again, that line of thinking "you can choose not to do _____" is very dangerous. Heck, why not charge a $500 tax per firearm purchased to go towards anti-violence, kind of like the $25 Cook County tax? No one is stopping you from owning a firearm, you can choose not to pay the tax by not buying a firearm. See where I'm going? This is actually already settled law, see Obamacare. Anything the govt doesn't want you to do they just create a tax for doing it and give a tax break if you don't do it. That way they aren't banning anything, but they certainly are cooling off your rights.

As a lifelong resident of the Southwest Side I can mention that at least we will NEVER have to worry about a parade for the Cubs screwing up traffic - the last time they won there wasn't any traffic other than horse and buggies and Native Americans in birch bark canoes.- LOL-

I like that idea, though it may mean squiddly doo to the officer doing the search.

 

I also agree that every time I hear McPoopy speak he sounds more ignorant.

Not just the ACLU -

NYC Council passes laws to limit police powers

 

 

NEW YORK — The New York City Council passed two measures to restrain police powers Thursday in direct defiance of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has defended procedures such as “stop and frisk” as necessary to fight crime.

One creates an independent inspector general to monitor the New York Police Department over a seven-year period. The other expands the definition of racial profiling and allows people who believe they have been profiled to sue police.

sometimes it's hard but you have to support them but he's receiving so local "defiance" as well...

Under Illinois law, an organization can reserve a public street for a private or semi-public event, with the right to include invitees and exclude others. Examples include block parties and parades. For obvious reasons, you can't drive through a parade with your automobile. It's not clear whether a pedestrian can be excluded from though passage on a public sidewalk or access to a place of business, or be required to submit to a search in the process, or be turned away if they decline. Could the police rifle through the briefcase of an attorney or confidential financial documents? At least at airports and courtrooms, the X-Ray machine can detect dangerous objects without disclosing the contents of documents.

 

Ureka! McGarry should be required to set up airport style check points for parades. I wouldn't waste camera time on crowd shots, though.

Is it not a parade on public streets?

 

Don't worry it's a gun free zone, even when HB183 becomes law...

 

I feel safer already. lol

Public parks and streets, no admission charged? Overreach.
