So? Cage could be a straight up terrorist group and this incident would still be wrong. There's a reason why due process exists.

- adnam 9y agoI don't disagree with you, but given their history I would take what they say with a large pinch of salt.
- tomp 9y agoArresting a member of a terorist group would be wrong? What are you smoking?!
- jstanley 9y agoYou arrest people for committing actual crimes, not just for associating with groups of people that you don't like.
- adnam 9y agoNo, you arrest people suspected of having committed crimes and give them due process of law
- danesparza 9y agoLove your enthusiasm. You're close, but not quite right. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_process) "Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the individual person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law." I think the important point to note is that the 'digital strip search' mentioned is used in an arbitrary way and is a great power in the hands of folks not particularly careful about abusing it.
