ExBoneOSO Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Can someone please explain to me how an illegal alien (er, "undocumented citizen") can claim that his constitutional rights were violated? President Obama’s illegal alien half-uncle argued in court today his arrest on a drunken driving charge this summer violated his constitutional rights and he wants evidence suppressed and the case thrown out. Onyango Obama’s lawyer filed a motion to suppress in Framingham District Court today, claiming he questions the legality of the illegal alien’s Aug. 24 arrest on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and whether the arrest violated Obama’s Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure. http://www.bostonher...ticleid=1381727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFlyer Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Because those rights, as instantiated in U.S public law, apply to anyone on U.S territory...not just U.S. citizens. Similarly, U.S. citizens in a foreign country are subject to their laws, not ours (in the absense of something like a Status of Forces agreement which allows us to take control of the individual and subject him/her to U.S. legal proceedings).

ExBoneOSO Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I guess I wasn't equating "constitutional" rights with criminal or civil law. I can see that a resident of country "A" would be subject to penalties from breaking the law in country "B", but I didn't think that meant that I could assume the rights of a resident of country "B". See what happens when an engineer tries to interpret constitiutional law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what happens when an engineer tries to interpret constitiutional law? In this case, I think its less about him "assuming the rights of a resident" (I assume you mean citizen), its about whether or not the process of applying the law was appropriately done. His lawyer says the rightful process of the arrest (due process, illegal search and seizure) was not applied, and that is a requirement regardless of the nationality of the individual. Whether the court buys that arguement is certainly open to question, but the overall issue is not dependent on his legal or illegal status...its strictly a case of whether the arresting officers correctly followed the law when they made the stop and subsequent arrest. Oh, and I'm not a lawyer, I just stopped at a Holiday Inn Express last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finger Four Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Airline passengers hit up for gas money to get home: Hundreds of passengers traveling from India to Britain were stranded for six hours in Vienna when their Comtel airline flight stopped for fuel on Tuesday. The charter service asked them to kick in more than 20,000 pounds ($31,000) to fund the rest of the flight to Birmingham, England. http://www.taiwannew....php?id=1763006 Edited November 19, 2011 by Finger Four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeHoler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) http://www.technolog.../editors/27363/ Researchers at Dartmouth College and the University of Bologna in Italy have developed an Android app that uses the camera on a smart phone to detect oncoming traffic. The app relies on machine-learning and image-recognition algorithms to identify the fronts and backs of vehicles, and takes into account varying light conditions, phone tilt, and blur. When WalkSafe detects a car approaching at 30 miles per hour or faster, it vibrates the phone and makes a sound to alert the distracted user.
