Rick,
You mentioned the 6th amendment the other day. Below is a report on Philadelphia's stop and frisk program. Also, it's not on local news, but another kid was shot in the back in Brooklyn by lawless oinkers starting with a stop and frisk. The people of Brooklyn are standing up.
Stop and Frisk was always unconstitutional, but it got great approbation in this neighborhood and on this list when Penn's mayor announced it.
Magna Carta dead: When I and various clark park sub-cultures were put on trial by FOCP/UCD/SHCA/Regent Square in 2001-02, it was confirmed that the Magna Carta had also become null and void. The police, dept of Recreation, Roebuck and Blackwell's office were also part of the UCD/FOCP Quality of Life task force (Note: Roebuck and Blackwell's office had dropped out before I was found guilty.)
Secret accusations by secret witnesses were brought against the Clark park festival after FOCP leaders made jackasses out of themselves by abusing a worthless survey designed for deception. It was insinuated that if I were allowed to answer the secret accusers and know anything at all about the secret complaints that I might "retaliate" against the "good neighbors." I was therefore guilty and any future festival organizations had a new time limit imposed because of this. (Note: FOCP/UCD was also pushing for arrests of dog owners in clark Park without their knowledge.)
The magna carta was the very beginning of English common law and was signed 1215 AD. When I confronted this ending of Magna Carta and Bill of Rights, only one brave individual, Gihon Jordon, was willing to state that what was happening was wrong. It went completely over the head of the police Lt. and the city official. The 6th amendment is long dead in this upscale cleaner and safer paradise. (Also, Philadelphia is number 1 for deeply impoverished citizens of any big city in the country)
'The state chapter of the ACLU, which has monitored the program for nearly three years, said in its first public report to U.S. District Court Judge Stewart Dalzell that nearly half the police stops in 2012 were unconstitutional and that few guns were found in the searches.
"Unfortunately, there has been no significant improvement in the quality of the stops and frisks," the report said, stating that 215,000 people - mainly minority men - were stopped last year as part of the program'

PS: I'd like to know how many of the 215,000 human beings were rammed through community court on fake charges of marijuana or given to ICE
