Why does the complaint describe the search and seizure of his person and property as a 14th Amendment violation? Is it not a 4th Amendment violation?West Milwaukee and Chilton, and their officers that were sued for illegally detaining a citizen who was lawfully carrying have filed their answer to the complaint.
D'oh! Slipped my mind, thanks.The 4th amendment guarantees rights against the federal government. The 14th amendment incorporates some of those rights as restrictions on state action.
I kind of figured this would happen. Who thought they would actually admit fault? The case is very cut and dry. Parabellum is going to win a nice sum of money for the gross rights violations.
I hope so, what is happening is wrong in so many ways...I kind of figured this would happen. Who thought they would actually admit fault? The case is very cut and dry. Parabellum is going to win a nice sum of money for the gross rights violations.
It's too early to speculate, as "winning" can mean a lot of different things.JRM, if Jesus wins this suit, what are the ramifications for open carriers and those that would want to detain us?
Money is not always the issue, but "punitive damages" are just what they say, punish the abuser. If everyone that abuses your rights gets a slap on the butt as punishment, they will keep it up. Hit 'em where it hurts, give the money away after expenses if you wish, but that action will stop harrassment rather quickly.Of course money should not be the issue. The absurd violation of his civil rights is the real story.

If you mean the trial, no.Has a date been set for the arguments?
