A federal employee criminally charged while performing work related job duties (whether Constitutional or not) will result in the case being removed to the federal court.jordanmills wrote:They can try it while their people sleep in county lockup.

See 28 U.S.C. Section 1442 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/28/1442.html and Idaho v. Huriuchi http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1430138.html For civil penalties under the second bill, I believe the feds (DOJ) would defend (FTCA).
I'm afraid that's the way it is...(Patrick Henry & Samuel Adams would say "told ya so")
edit...all of this IMHO - IANAL.

I honestly think that's going to start happening if they keep this up.Trinitite wrote:

With all the "TSA feeling up some kid" videos on YouTube, I'm surprised it hasn't already started. I certainly can't condone such things, but the prosecution probably wouldn't want me on the jury. (Though, for that matter, I don't know who they would want. Childless authoritarians? I dunno.)jordanmills wrote:I honestly think that's going to start happening if they keep this up.Trinitite wrote:

Same. I won't outright support it, and I sure as hell won't be doing it myself, but I really can't see myself feeling too bad for some pervert reaping the consequences of his actions, or wanting to see the conviction of a father defending his family from sexual assault.Dave2 wrote:With all the "TSA feeling up some kid" videos on YouTube, I'm surprised it hasn't already started.

Not publicly on this forum.Dave2 wrote:I certainly can't condone such things

I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
