a. This isn't really an example of Broken Windows policing

WTF? LINK
quote:

What is Broken Windows Policing? The broken windows model of policing was first described in 1982 in a seminal article by Wilson and Kelling. Briefly, the model focuses on the importance of disorder (e.g., broken windows) in generating and sustaining more serious crime. Disorder is not directly linked to serious crime; instead, disorder leads to increased fear and withdrawal from residents, which then allows more serious crime to move in because of decreased levels of informal social control.


Cops saw a general disorder crime. They intervened. In the process of investigating this conduct, they discovered additional criminal conduct that would have otherwise gone undiscovered. This included a convicted felon in possession of illegal substances that included the very deadly street fentanyl.

Seems textbook broken window policing to me. Why am I wrong?

Wtf? What rights were given up in this example?

In this case, none. But that doesn't mean I want police searching my car because my inspection sticker was expired.

Police absolutely have too much free rein when it comes to 4th amendment stuff. "I smell weed/alcohol," "If you won't let me search we'll wait for the K9," all that shite. And all it takes is an overzealous dickhead with a high school diploma to ruin your day because you've got 20% tint on your windows.

What rights did he give up when he was pulled over for front window tint?

No the cops saw a bullshite crime that shouldn't exist.

Has nothing to do with disorder of an area, which is what BWT is about. Tinted windows have nothing to do with BWT. They're a bullshite traffic charge the state abuses to erode the rights of citizens.

You think tinted windows on an individual car denotes general disorder in some way? How?

Multiple 4th Amendment violations (if I was the ruler of the US) and the use of authoritarian and illegal laws (again, if I were ruler).

Other than the tinted windows, LEO have abused "smelled marijuana" so much to violate citizens' rights across the country that it is now institutional and it should be considered a de facto 4A violation at this point.

LEO shouldn't be able to pull him over for that.

Our 4A jurisprudence gave way to authoritarianism a long time ago, especially when it involves cars.

This thread shows that there is still a sizeable portion of this country that would rather lick boots than promote the defense of their rights.

I think most peoples issue is being given a fix it ticket for window tint when you’re otherwise a well adjusted law abiding citizen.

Nissan with dark tint? Yeah I could’ve told you that person was guilty just from that.

Broken windows and stop and frisk are how Giuliani cleaned up NYC.

This is not true.

It's what we thought worked in the moment, but, in the moment we didn't realize this was happening EVERYWHERE in the US at roughly the same rate.

Broken Windows? Stop and Frisk? Didn't matter if your city had these policies. Crime still fell.

Great, if you’re a fan of profiling Black motorists while leaving white motorists alone.

I'm fine with profiling based on window tint.

I used to give talks to frats locally and I would always end with "don't commit a crime while you're committing a crime"

I stole that from a standup routine, IIRC

You sir are correct. Another example, front and rear license plates. LA does not have front / rear plates. You can still drive in states (Texas) that require both plates.

I get what you’re saying but this is windshield tint not window tint.


Without knowing any facts of this case but knowing "journalists" are as lazy as frick these days, I think its more likely "front windshield" is actually the side front windows as opposed to back side windows.

You’re letting the facts confuse you or you’re just ignoring them. They smelled an illegal substance. They found exactly what they smelled.

This is exactly why if you gotta have that illegal tint, don’t stash easy to smell illegal substances in the fricking car.

Or if you gotta stash illegal substances in your car, don’t put illegal tint on your fricking windows.

How are these things not completely predictable? Are we just surrounded by dumbasses? Being a dumbass can be costly.

One of the most common things cops say to each other (and dumbasses) is that, “If it wasn’t for dumbasses, I would be out of a job.”

Irrelevant. Blame your lawmakers for creating bullshite crimes. Heck, blame them for not overturning bullshite crimes created by prior legislators.

But blaming cops for doing their goddamn job is simply hardcore stupid to the bone.

Aim better. You’re a terrible marksman.

Lawmakers create laws that become the basis for orderly conduct. It may come as a surprise to you , but breaking the law is a crime. Committing crimes is a very disorderly way to conduct yourself in public.

I hope that helps.

and illegal laws


You know damn well a law is not illegal until an appeals court says it is. Until then, it’s only your opinion.
