true and I apologize. But I also think it can be tied to the larger picture where the police is both forced into better accountability (good) and stripped down of the ability to do their job (bad), for which "organizational resistance" is a completely valid countermeasure.
- greedo 3y agoCan you list some of the ways police have been stripped of their ability to do their job?
- waihtis 3y agoSome DA's sudden refusal to prosecute a variety of property and drug crimes is a good example. No use catching criminals if they're just let loose.
- Der_Einzige 3y agoSee all the law changes in Oregon since 2018. Cops for example can’t pull you over for ghetto cars anymore. Cops can’t use the smell of weed as probable cause, and far far more.
- greedo 3y agoNice terminology about the cars.../s And pot is legal in Oregon, so why would the smell be probable cause? Besides, cops invent PC on a routine basis.
- Der_Einzige 3y agoThe smell of pot in one’s care gives probable cause in many states where it’s legal. Driving while stoned is still illegal in Oregon, but difficult to enforce since cops can’t easily search your vehicle anymore. You’re being dense on purpose. You know I’m right but don’t want to admit it. You go for cheap shots on my language because you have no other legit arguments. Pathetic.
- greedo 3y agoIt's pathetic to call them ghetto cars, rez wagons or whatever racist term you want to use.
