[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pedro: [QB] Ok, so, what if I've been arrested for drugs before? I smoked a joint a year ago (or maybe even a rock, whatever), got arrested, and now the police can beat me as long as they warn me first? Sorry, that just doesn't fly....rights are rights, and you don't forfeit them just by having done something wrong in the past. I'll be honest here, I have used drugs in the past, and gotten in trouble with the law for it (not big trouble, but trouble none the less). By this argument, I now am a lower class citizen with less rights that the average American (well, this assumes that the average American doens't use drugs, which is not the case). Get a clue, the solution to crime doesn't lie in giving the police more leeway in using force on criminals, but in changing the circumstances that led to the crime in the first place. Another important thing to note, in the example Cargile gives above, it's clearly the police who escalated the situation, not the driver. [/QB][/QUOTE]
