For a detailed and authoritative analysis on JAILING OF AMERICANS, see also: CATO INSTITUTE's "All Locked Up," Director of the Project on Criminal Justice Tim Lynch comments that the number of incarcerated people surpassed 2 million for the first time last year. Lynch writes that it took more than 200 years for America to hold its first 1 million prisoners, but managed to incarcerate the second million in only the past 10 years and warns of a "prison industrial complex."




Read about America's Un-Constitutional Jailing of the People in the CATO INSTITUTE's "The Ominous Powers of Federal Law Enforcement" by Timothy Lynch, The Cato Handbook for Congress: 106th Congress, 1999. In part it states;"The sheer volume of modern law makes it impossible for an ordinary American household to stay informed—and yet the U.S. Department of Justice vigorously defends the old legal maxim that ‘‘ignorance of the law is no excuse.’’ That maxim may have been appropriate for a society that simply criminalized inherently evil conduct, such as murder, rape, and theft, but it is wholly inappropriate in a labyrinthine regulatory regime that criminalizes activities that are morally neutral. It has been estimated that the number of new enactments by legislative bodies ranging from city councils to Congress is 150,000 per year. At that rate, a conscientious citizen would have to study 410 laws each and every day all year round— a full-time task, to say the least. It is simply outrageous for the U.S. government to impose a legal duty on every American citizen to ‘‘know’’ all of the mind-boggling rules and regulations that have emanated from Washington over the years. The 106th Congress can remedy that unjust situation by passing a law that would require U.S. attorneys to prove that regulatory violations are ‘‘willful’’ or, in the alternative, permit a good-faith belief in the legality of one’s conduct to be pleaded and proved as a defense. The former rule is already in place for our complicated tax laws—but it should also shield unwary Americans from all of the other regulations.

US CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST "More" Haltom City Police ABUSE with ULAWFUL SHOW OF FORCE & ACTS of PROVOCATION - on 2/10/2002: 1. That in the early morning hours of Saturday February 9, 2002 at exactly 2:28am to 2:30am cst, a Haltom City Police officer commited an act of "extreme" provocation to "violence" by "deliberately" parking "on the street" outside and only about 30 feet from my bedroom window, as he conducted "unlawful survelillance" by such an act from 2:28am to 2:30am, 2/9/2002. This he did by starring at me through my partially closed "bed-room" window blinds, even as he saw me raise the blinds to watch him commit such an act.

United States Court of Appeals for the FIFTH CIRCUIT
COURT: INDIVIDUALS HAVE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that the Constitution guarantees individuals the right to have a gun, the first time in recent history that such a high-level legal authority has explicitly endorsed such a view, according to The Washington Post. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5677-2001Oct16.html)
The decision's immediate impact will be felt in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, which are within the jurisdiction of the court that issued the opinion. But the ruling is likely to embolden opponents of gun control to press their cause in federal courts around the country.



Sandra Day O'Conner's "Dissenting Opinion" in "ATWATER et al. v. CITY OF LAGO VISTA etal. certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the fifth circuit No. 991408. Argued December 4, 2000 Decided April 24, 2001". "Because the 'COURT's POSITION' is 'INCONSISTENT' with with the 'EXPLICIT' guarantee of the 'FOURTH AMENDMENT', I dissent [Emphasis added]
US Court in Lubbock, TX strikes "down" illegal Texas law which essentially declares [that]ALL "students" [Are]SUSPECIOUS of ILLEGAL CONDUCT [EVEN WITHOUT "cause" to believe so] and so they VIOLATED the [US] FOURTH AMENDMENT. The Judge then states that:"Such an intrusion also comes at a great price to citizens' constitutionally guaranteed rights to be secure in their 'persons, houses, papers and effects,'" [Federal Judge Sam R. Cummings] said in a ruling issued late yesterday.
