dont u just hate the law that doesnt allow
"loitering"
Like Its a False pretext for cops to come and give u hard time \ search u.
And when people are figthing and u watch u can be charged with that.
Loitering in the park? how can that be???
They pass out 118$ tickets for that.
If you wait for someone at the metro u may be asked to leave. This Law acts on prejudice. no one should be able to control where i wanna be in public.
Comments.
Oh. And if u think this belongs in bitch an moan send it there... but i think it goes on to debate the use of some laws by the police.

Notice the insane amount of laws passed each year?

There are so many laws that no one knows what the law is anymore. The main reason for this is that when no one knows the laws, then cops can make shit up and people will believe them.

If it were that simple, I would agree. However, when you look at the morons out there (kidnappers, drug dealers, misc. thugs, et al), then folks have a right to know just "why" you're hanging around and they have a right to feel uncomfortable.

Hobos.

oh dont whine, at least its not like it is in space quest X (a part of space quest 4) where loitering is a capital offence

I hate thought crimes

Mouse,

I wanted to use the word incredible, but disgusting is more apprapo.

That's truly horrible.

I even checked the site to see whether it was reliable.

This pisses the hell out of me. My personal belief is that you can say anything you want, which includees: rallies, posters, and speach, so long as you do not dammage the property of others. Fuck those pansies who "feel" oppresed. Unless your property has been dammaged or your person threatened, DEAL WITH IT!!!

I loved the irony of the Commander's quote "People should not have to go through life being subjected to abuse because of who they are or what they believe in". So that's why they were arresting people largely on the strength of what they believe in.

Still, under British law they can't actually be prosecuted for their beliefs unless the police can prove the defendants arrested actually comitted crimes.

Loitering is one of those crimes they have so that they can arrest people without any real reason. They have JayWalking for that too. Why is JayWalking illegal in America? I always wonder that. Is it because of the "sue me" culture? If someone is taking their life into their own hands by !!crossing the road!! surely that's their choice, who does it hurt?

It has absolutely no effect on the law-abing driver of the car who accidentally hit the moronic jaywalker.
