This is a huge step forward to restore the Constitutional protection to be secure in our persons.
What would Dirty Harry say?? Make my day punk... or something like that.
Its about time the courts began raining in search and seizure, especially the stop and frisk.
Far too many cops stop and frisk AND THEN justify themselves after something is found.
reigning not raining... jeeesh.
If I had to guess, I would guess that the majority of men wearing hoodies haven’t contributed much to society.
Just a guess.
Yes, everytime I go walking... I guess I contribute nothing good to society.
Nike will be so upset.
Yes, everytime I go walking... I guess I contribute nothing good to society.
Speaking of which ...... I need to go do now. Later. :>)
Do you know me? Though I have contributed a lot to myself
Something similar came to my mind also, a mental picture of just what a person carrying might look like.................

Father of three Here, Fully Paid Child Support and Two of the Three are College Graduates. Eight Grandchildren.
Still working making Aircraft Parts at 59 Years Old. Will Probably have to work until I’m 66, If my health holds out
and Yes I do wear a Hoodie on occasion.
I don’t like collectivist reasoning about “contribution to society” because it treats human beings as means to an end or based on how their life profits another.
Good thing the court made the right call. There is no gun exemption to the 4th amendment and seeing someone with a gun is not reason to even approach a person, let alone ask them for ID or detain them. Cops need to get this through their heads.
“If I had to guess, I would guess that the majority of men wearing hoodies haven’t contributed much to society.”
That may be the case but they have the same right to own and carry firearms as you or I do. Someone in a hoodie should no more be accosted by the police for carrying a firearm than someone in a golf shirt and khakis.
“This is a huge step forward to restore the Constitutional protection to be secure in our persons.”
There are lots of people here who won’t see it that way.
try “reining”
Of course we know you.
You also wear one of those European purses bags!
But we won't tell........
giggle.....j/k
“If I had to guess, I would guess that the majority of men wearing hoodies haven’t contributed much to society.”
Yeah, like them Franciscans. Dirty bums.
“not doing their basic casefile development to spell out in the trial court’s record what, precisely, the officer’s experience was, and what his experience was telling him about this guy”
Most likely, the officer’s experience told him the guy was a “punk,” and punks are always up to “no good.”
