Lawless is Chaos (Lawsuit waiting to happen)

Lawless is Chaos. My life, my experiences and everything I do revolve around chaos whether I wish it to or not. So, what happened, oh crazy Lawless? I shall explain!

Sunday, June 29, 2007

I haven't slept, and i'm staying up mostly and playing World of Warcraft. Around 4 PM I decide that I need sleep. I sleep rather peacefully, deeply until I hear a large bang at the front door of my house. I open my eyes wide, sit up and glare at my door listening. I hear in the first room of the house, " Get down and put your hands up! " Scared, confused and even dazed from my sudden waking I fall unable to move. My door swings open and a large gun is pointed straight at my face as well as a flashlight. "Put your hands up!" the cop calls out to me. Heading the warning, I raise my hands. He asks me to stand and I oblige slowly and cautiously as to not cause any unnecessary thoughts. He asks me to place my hands behind my back as he grabs one and quite gently at that. I do as I am told once again as he places Flexicuffs on me.

I am then moved out into the living room where I am sat on the stool. I look to my left and I see my father on the floor with three cops stands around him. To my right, I see the figure of my mother behind the curtain that seperates the window into the first room. This house has been expanded on, but the window form was left in-tact. The cops move in as two, what I believe to be, detectives entered the house. The cops begin searching the house and I query to the detective, "May I ask what is going on?" I was being polite, the situation was already out of hand. She replied and told me that they have reason to believe a gun is in the house and presented their search warrant. It was authentic, Yorktown Police Department and signed by Judge William Grestenzang. The warrant is printed as followed,

--------- start* -----------

**YOU ARE AUTHORIZED, IN THE EXECUTION OF THIS WARRANT, TO ENTER PREMISES TO BE SEARCHED WITHOUT GIVING NOTICE OF YOUR AUTHORITY AND OPURPOSE

This search warrant issued this 19th day of June, 2007

--------- end -----------

I took it with understanding and waited as they searched the house. Nothing was found to be seized as the warrant stated. They took off the Flexicuffs on my mother and I before removing the handcuffs on my father. Soon, they vacated the premises and left us with a mess. Everything opened and searched, everything left out scattered without being placed back or in an out of the way position. We were left to cleanup the aftermath.

(End)

This story is based completely on my perception of what happened and heard. The only damage done to the household itself was from the battering ram to the front door. A large dent is left on it at the moment.

My mother told me that the cop had slammed open the door with the battering ram and knocked her back before pushing her against the wall. Her arm is fractured, has a torn ligament and has a few stressed muscles. Medical documents of this are also available to anyone truly curious about the situation.

The cause of this, is from a man that has come to my house before. The most possible situation is that he held up someone at gun point for robbery. The detective, only stated that he was being chased because he committed robbery and they had reason to believe that the weapon was stashed here. It should also be known this man was involved in a high speed chase. His motorcycle had gone down at 100 MPH. I'm looking at this as a fault on the departments side, and a seek to find more to flavor it in some way or another. My perception may not be accurate however, and that should be taken into consideration as well.

All in all, this incident is proof that police departments are incredibly interested in seeking justice, but will sacrifice peoples moral as a necessary cost. The question is, is this the type of police force we want? We want justice served, but what are we willing to sacrifice in exchange? This is an important question this country needs to think on as it decides what happens within it.

Lolicon illegal in the USA?

"Recently in America there's been quite some furor over the legality of fictional, illustrated depictions of sex involving children. Uncertainty may be reaching a boiling point because of recent federal government attempts to study the accessibility of pornography to minors and Google's refusal to submit search results that may include personal, private information, to a government inquiry. I'm neither a lawyer nor a specialist on observing judiciary or legal proceedings. In observation of the precision of the question, I'll avoid injecting subjective opinion. With those stipulations in place I'll state that as far as I'm aware, Japanese lolicon art is still legal in America on a broad, nationwide scale.

The Child Online Protection Act of 1998 was designed to protect children from being exposed to online pornography. However, in 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2004 the act was consistently struck down as unconstitutional and "too broad" by federal courts. More recently, the PROTECT act of 2003 (Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today) is designed to, "Revise and strengthen the prohibition on 'virtual' child pornography," and, "Prohibit any obscene materials that depict children" (Dept. of Justice memo). The loosely defined principle that the PROTECT act of 2003 prohibits computer-generated child pornography and illustrated lolicon has led numerous people to assume that lolicon is now illegal in America.

However, examination of the literal PROTECT act, and awareness of the previous judicial bans on enforcement of prohibition of fictional depictions of child sexuality paint a different story. Although the PROTECT act was signed into law by President George W. Bush on April 30, 2003, the 2004 Ashcroft v. American Civil Liberties Union Supreme Court ruling once again determined that a ban on fictional illustrations is unconstitutional. Furthermore, section 504 subsection 1466A of the PROTECT act of 2003 clarifies that "drawing" or "cartoon" visual representations of child sexual abuse must depict a minor involved in sexual activity, be obscene, and lack "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value" in order to violate the law. Beside the fact that the US Supreme Court has already determined this section of the PROTECT act to be unconstitutional, imported Japanese lolicon art would still have to be legally proven "obscene" and lacking in "literary, artistic" value in order to be deemed illegal. To the furthest extent of my knowledge, that has never occurred on a federal level in America.

So as far as I'm aware, the national legal status of imported Japanese lolicon art in America has not changed. It's still legal to sell and own because it is a form of free speech protected by the constitutional First Amendment. The belief that the legal status of lolicon art in America has changed, I suspect, is based on a superficial understanding of the 2003 PROTECT act, without research of its finer points or its execution." - John

This person is smart as hell and so far has proven 100% correct. I myself, will challenge this law as it IS unconstitutional, even though in reality it does not pertain to lolicon appropriately enough for a law suit. Swiftly and intelligently, lolicon shall continue to be legal and popular.
