How would it go if the victim had a little righteous indignation at the inconvenience and implied accusation of such a random stop at a "sobriety checkpoint"? Driver: "Why are you stopping me?" Cop: "We're just doing a random check." Driver: "Do you have some reason to think I committed a crime?" Cop: "No, this is just a random stop, so we can..." Driver: "You stopped me just for the heck of it, so you can ask me whether I'm a criminal? I don't really appreciate the implication. Am I free to go?" Cop: "This is just a routine stop. If you haven't been drinking, you'll be free to go." Driver: "I don't care how routine it is. You're treating me like a criminal suspect for nothing more than driving down this road. And get that damned flashlight out of my car." Cop: "If you have nothing to hide, why do you mind my giving your car a quick look?" Driver: "For the same reason you would mind me barging into your house to have a quick look around to see if you have anything suspicious lying around." Cop: "I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the car." Driver: "Why?" Cop: "I said step out of the car." Driver: "Actually, you said you were asking me. The answer is no." You can imagine how that would turn out. (Or you can do a video search on the internet for "police brutality," and see how it turns out.) Sadly, the rare American who doesn't "cooperate" with arbitrary, unjustified intrusion and harassment is not only treated badly by "law enforcement," but is often viewed as the "bad guy" by the general public as well. Why? Because the general public believes that obedient, subservient subjects is what most people SHOULD be. As a result, that's how they are treated. " ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:10:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Bruce Mills Subject: Homicide rate drops in 2006, but other violent crimes on the rise http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hyJ4P5W_SfkF2J6tMcd5U8p7Ja1Q Homicide rate drops in 2006, but other violent crimes on the rise 2 hours ago OTTAWA - The national homicide rate dropped 10 per cent in 2006, while the number of killings committed with firearms fell for the first time in four years. With the minority Conservative government in Ottawa declaring crime - and gun crime - one of its top priorities in Tuesday's throne speech, Canada's police services reported 605 homicides in 2006, 58 fewer than the previous year. Statistics Canada reports the national homicide rate fell to 1.85 homicides per 100,000 population, but it adds other serious violent crimes like attempted murder, serious assaults and robberies were on the rise. The homicide rate has been on a general decline since it peaked in the mid-1970s at just over three homicides per 100,000 population. It had reached a 35-year low of 1.73 in 2003. Of the 605 homicides, 190 were committed with a firearm, 33 fewer than in 2005 and a 16 per cent drop in the rate of firearm homicides. "The large majority of homicide victims were killed by someone they knew," the report says. About a third of victims were killed by an acquaintance, 17 per cent by a spouse, 19 per cent by a family member other than a spouse and 12 per cent by someone known through criminal activities. Strangers accounted for the remaining 17 per cent, similar to previous years. The rate of youth aged 12 to 17 accused of homicide was at its highest point since 1961. A total of 84 young people were accused of homicide in 2006, 12 more than in 2005. However, the number of victims killed by a youth remained virtually unchanged. Tuesday's throne speech promised a comprehensive Tackling Violent Crime bill "to protect Canadians and their communities from violent criminals and predators." The legislation will include measures on the age of consent, impaired driving and dangerous offenders, as well as stricter bail and mandatory prison sentences for those who commit gun crimes. "Canadians expect prompt passage of this crucial legislation," the speech said. The Statistics Canada report said last year's decline in shooting deaths halted three straight years of increases. It also meant that stabbing deaths outnumbered homicides involving firearms. Some 210 victims - just over a third - were stabbed to death, 20 more than the number killed by shootings. Shootings and stabbings have each accounted for about a third of all homicides over the past 20 years. Prior to 1985, shootings were much more common than stabbings. Toronto had the most shooting deaths, with 34 in 2006. However, taking population into account, Toronto's firearm homicide rate was less than half that of Edmonton, the city with the highest rate. Generally, the rate of firearms used to commit homicide has been on the decline since the mid-1970s. In 2006, handguns accounted for 108 of the 190 victims killed by a firearm. A further 36 victims were killed by a rifle or shotgun, 24 by a sawed-off rifle or shotgun and 22 by another or unknown type of firearm. Of the 48 recovered firearms in 2006 where the registration status was known, police reported that 30 were not registered with the Canadian Firearms Centre, while 18 were registered. Of the 45 recovered firearms where ownership could be determined, police reported that 26 were owned by the accused and two by the victim. The remaining 17 firearms were owned by someone other than the accused or victim, of which 10 were reported to have been stolen. Police reported 78 spousal homicides, four more than in 2005 and the first increase in five years. The spousal homicide rate has generally been declining since the mid-1970s. The increase in spousal homicides was due to an increase in the number of men killed by their wives - 21 in 2006, up from 12 in 2005. The large majority of spousal homicides against men were committed by their common-law spouse. However, women are still much more likely than men to be victims of spousal homicide. In 2006, a total of 56 women were killed by their husband, six fewer than in 2005 and the fifth straight annual decline. A quarter of these were committed by a separated or divorced spouse. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:27:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Bruce Mills Subject: [US] Want safer schools? Update gun laws; it's been 800 years http://www.cleveland.com/news/esullivan/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1192265175246820.xml&coll=2 Elizabeth Sullivan: Want safer schools? Update gun laws; it's been 800 years Sunday, October 14, 2007 Elizabeth Sullivan Cleveland Plain Dealer Columnist EYE ON THE WORLD Update gun laws; it's been 800 years Olde English common-law tradi tions underlie many of Ameri cans' bedrock rights. The Second Amendment is one of them - a right to bear arms that traces to the 1181 Assize of Arms in England. In that decision, King Henry II required all free Christian men - from the poorest villagers to knights - - to own lances and protective military clothing in fealty to himself. Yet these days, Brits are about the least hung up in the world on this medieval notion that everyone should go around wielding weapons. In fact, it's just the reverse. Great Britain has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the world - and those laws got even stricter after a March 1996 elementary-school shooting in Dunblane, Scotland. That rampage, by a 43-year-old disgruntled ex-scout leader, killed 16 little boys and girls and one teacher. The deaths prodded a horrified nation into such draconian anti-gun laws that the British Olympic pistol team now has to go overseas to train. Clearly, America is not going to adopt British-style restrictions. If tighter U.S. gun control didn't happen after Columbine in 1999, when 15 died and 23 were wounded, it won't come after last week's Cleveland high school shooting, in which only the shooter perished. Yet Cleveland's incident is part of a rat-a-tat of inner-city gun crimes that illustrate the horrible ease with which kids in America get their hands on guns - old guns, unregistered guns, guns with serial numbers filed off, parents' guns, cheap guns and easily hidden guns. Plain Dealer reporters Joseph L. Wagner and Scott Stephens unearthed a list of a week's worth of guns-in-Cleveland-schools violations that included one mom who brought a loaded .22 down to her son's high school to scare off kids who had confronted him. Luckily, she was caught, but that's the environment - one in which parents turn to guns, so the kids will, too. A 12th-century common-law right becomes a cudgel to prevent common-sense regulations that could constrict the easy availability of weapons. There's no easy answer when guns are everywhere, and reflect personal safety worries. In Brazil and Argentina, where rising gun violence is tied to poverty and organized crime, authorities instituted major gun buyback programs a few years ago, but the policies haven't dented the illicit ownership of weapons. A 2005 Brazilian referendum on a law that would have banned new sales of guns that was championed by the country's president and a raft of pop stars and other celebrities, went down to a 3-2 defeat, confounding experts who had thought it would pass handily. According to the New York Times, a last-minute ad campaign stirred worries that a gun ban would be the first curtailment of other personal liberties - that 12th-century mentality again. But the availability of guns is a factor. The slosh of automatic weapons out of the Balkans and Albania after war and civil strife of the 1990s affected the supply of guns throughout central and southern Europe. A school shooting in 2002 shocked Germans and led to a ban on gun ownership for people under the age of 21. In Britain, by contrast, private gun ownership remains rare. Not only are guns strictly registered, but gun ownership can lead to on-site inspections, interviews, doctors' notes and police assessments of whether the ownership of certain weapons can be justified. That's why the British public was shocked after the Dunblane massacre of 1996, when it came out that shooter Thomas Hamilton had licenses for both the two 9mm Browning self-loading pistols and two Smith and Wesson .357 revolvers he took to the school. The inquiry found he fired 104 rounds in just four minutes, before turning one of the .357's on himself. Many of his victims were just 5 and 6 years old. As it turned out, Hamilton had gotten and kept licenses for years as he bought and traded weapons and copious amounts of ammunition, despite some police officials' misgivings about him and doubts about his need for all of those guns. The British public reacted by virtually banning private ownership of handguns. In Cleveland, better gun laws might make no difference to a disaffected or mentally ill teen who thinks he sees an answer to his woes through the barrel of a gun. But then again, they might - by creating accountability and some real limits on gun ownership and stewardship. America may never give up its love affair with guns, but it needs to start backing away from 12th-century notions of entitlement. The Brits have it figured out; we should, too.
