Imagine for a moment that your accused of a crime and you did not do it, but suddenly someone suggests that if you really have nothing to hide you take a lie detector test.
There are a lot of good reasons why you should not take one and yes that means even if your innocent of the accusation of a crime. The number one reason why is that it lies, the lie detector lies. Sounds a little crazy right, how can a lie detector that is allegedly designed to tell is someone is lying be the base of the lie.

Sounds a little crazy right, how can a lie detector that is allegedly designed to tell is someone is lying be the base of the lie.
The reason why is simple it is not accurate, because it depends on a subjective analysis by a human operator.
Humans make mistakes, they sometimes even lie about what they are doing.
But even if a lie detector test were a valid and effective method of detecting a lie it is not admissible in court.
So if you ever find yourself in a situation where someone asks you to take a lie detector test, ask them one question, will the results of this testing eliminate me as a suspect and or arrest warrant? If they lie, then you know that you need a lawyer right away. If they tell the truth they will have to say that no, no matter what the test reveals it will not change anything about what we think we know about you.

What that says is that it does not matter, if they think your guilty of a crime, they can have anyone come in and say that you failed or that you were not consistently honest.
But if they are honest and they say that your also honest the police will just say that a lie detector test is not conclusive and they will continue to waste your time and violate your rights, (allegedly)
The funny thing about a Lie Detector test is that its totally subjective, there are no scientific facts to support a lie detector, sorry but it just dont work.
It never has and it never will because it is subjective, the operator obtains his fee or his or her payment from law enforcement sources, which means they are not objective.
Until technology improves or we see some kind of real evidence that technology is capable of proving and sustaining honesty or dishonesty then sadly its just a waste of time and money.
The way that the Justice system is today it really leaves with just one choice, Never Ever Talk to them, because they will lie to you while they are telling you that when you lie to them they will get mad and angry. But they have no problem lying to you, what kind of Good guy does that?
Just remember that most of the time, they have more experience in putting you in jail than you have of getting out of jail.
Today more than ever the average citizen is in peril of being prosecuted and it is not as difficult as you may think to find yourself in legal hot water. Imagine what might happen if you were to find your self on a snow mobile, in a white out blizzard, you get lost and your just trying to survive, you see blue lights ahead and you head for those lights because the police are there to help right?
You would be wrong…
Guess what you just accidentally broke a federal statute, violation of the Wilderness Act.
Now you have a criminal record…
Most people think criminal law is for bad people,” says Timothy Lynch of the Cato Institute. “They’re one misstep away from the nightmare of a federal indictment.” new federal laws have lower standards for conviction than in the past: Prosecutors do not always need to show criminal intent (mens rea), according the Wall Street Journal. And, federal regulations (also numbering in the thousands) often carry the force of federal criminal law as penalty.

So, if your still reading this you may be wondering what is going on and is this really the America I grew up pledging allegiance to the flag?
Yes, it is, but things have changed, it has been said over and over again that we are a nation of laws, but the truth is that is a lie…
The truth is that we the people are the only people that matter in this Nation, yet our congress treats us like criminals.
While they eat the fat and drink the sweet, this is a real issue that every American should be well aware of yet for the most part many of us are far too busy working and living our lives to be concerned with legal issues, this is why it is imperative that you know what your doing and that when you choose to go on vacation or to go even on something as simple as a cruise that you know the laws that could effect your very liberty and freedom.
It may be difficult to understand when your not in the world as often as perhaps some of your neighbors, however its important to realize that just because your neighbors may not share information about being on vacation and accidentally breaking a federal law while in a federal park, getting a $3500.00 fine, having a felony record, (no more voting) all because what, your son who is interested in cowboys and Indians went looking for arrow heads, in a federal park…
You see, there are so many laws that some have said they do not know how many laws there actually are.
Some estimate the figure at more than 4500 federal laws.
If you are reading this because you were looking for legal advice or you perhaps found this website searching for a solution to a problem you have please locate an attorney, you can often get some sound legal advice for as little as $50 and that can go a long way towards helping you get a better nights sleep…
Ok, the one question I have that makes this difficult to understand is this, how can the State of Florida play games with the Law?
Think about this, The state of Floriduh, has decided that they want to pursue a charge they cannot prove at all, forget about reasonable doubt.
There is no reasonable doubt needed, simple because of the charges the State of Florida, decided to charge, but are they not smarter than that, allegedly just how stupid do you have to be to figure this out. And when you think about this you will partially understand just how dumb allegedly they are in Florida.
They have to prove that George Zimmerman, with a depraved intention, left his home intending to find and murder someone that he did not know.
They have to prove that George Zimmerman, knew that this young man was in the area, and that he intended to murder this man, the truth is that they cannot do that.
It is impossible because the young man did not live in this area, so sadly once again we see just how ignorant the state of florida is in this instance, along with others, like the Casey Anthony, trial, and the now infamous kidnapping case, where the state was made to look like fools.
I was actually born in this state, but now I am ashamed to say it, I mostly just say I am from the south,…
So, if your looking for a great place to retire, keep looking Florida is not the place you think it is.
Look Foriduh is at it again are we about to see yet another over reaching Floriduh, case, just like the Casey Anthony Case?
Millions and millions will be spent in this case, just because a middle aged women cannot figure out how to apply the law to the case, (allegedly)
There are many sides to this “Media Created” Circus, the public have been fed a diet of incorrect, inaccurate and inappropriate information that in the eyes of the public have done nothing to help create facts.
Florida, is a state, that is a problem, ok, if you live in this state, and you do something stupid, you could end up being charged with a felony when what you actually did was less of an offense.
Take for instance, the famous case where the state of Florida, charged, Casey Anthony with Murder, when Manslaughter would have been a more appropriate charge, in fact if they had done that Ms, Anthony would still be in jail today, this really tells a story about Floriduh.
But, is that fair?
It may be, the State of Florida has a reputation for over charging cases, in the hopes, (allegedly) that the defendant will feel pressured by the weight of the charges (Wait is this even ethical?) and succumb to the idea that they must go to jail even if they are not guilty. In this case, there is some reason to believe that the man made a horrible mistake that caused a loss of life, there are a number of things that might have been done that would have certainly produced better results, Proper Training, identification, uniforms, flashlights, all of these things could have been employed to reduce the amount of risk, yet none of them were done, (at this time it is not known for sure if these were part of the problem but we can see that it certainly would have reduced the risk) At least there will be a case, once again in Floriduh, where there will be much hype and likely all kinds of information released to the public. One thing that really makes you think, is this, “Is Floriduh, really the best place to live these days” That should make you think about what is going on both in the state level of government and in the local level of government.

Perhaps its something in the water, or maybe its just human stupidity, who knows for sure, unless someone with some brains, (allegedly not the special prosecutor in this case) such as the Attorney General of the state of Florida, steps in and says, hey, you want a conviction or do you want another Casey Anthony trial?
Manslaughter is the more appropriate charge in this case, it is a charge that can be sustained, it is a charge that would result in significant time in jail, it is a charge that is likely appropriate, sometimes you look at the facts and you say how does a women with trial experience make such a huge mistake in judgement?
Who knows for sure, perhaps she is thinking about the book she will write after the trial is over and the media has gone home.
Perhaps she is thinking that she might run for political office later, perhaps she is thinking about the color of her nails, and getting her hair done, we don’t know, but it seems clear that she is not interested (allegedly) in justice or the peoples business, because charging in this manner is a career move not a criminal matter.
This is what is wrong with the American Legal System, its too political, perhaps it has always been that way but this is getting really stupid.
Is an executive order still binding on the American people if it violates the Constitution? That may be one thing that many people wonder about…
Are we now living in a land where there is no longer a congress? Do we have a dictator and chief in office? When will congress act to secure the future of the United States?
Are we now living in a land where there is no longer a congress?
Do we have a dictator and chief in office?
When will congress act to secure the future of the United States?
In many ways we have some very troubling things happening all around us the stock market is very volatile.
Millions of Americans are out of work and yet we continue down the prickly pathway that has put us in danger of default.
This is just getting out of control what is going on in America.
Are we going to find our way out of this insanity and if so will the police be a help or a hurt.
Murder and Homicide, charges, what is going on now?
are they blind, are they deaf, why are they only allegedly interested in stopping people from praying?
Big Business is swarming Capitol Hill this week as they struggle to get the Internet Blacklist Bill passed.
Here’s Techdirt’s take:
The world’s largest lobbying organization, the US Chamber of Commerce…along with the biggest lobbyists representing the recording and movie industry, have ramped up their efforts to get PROTECT IP
approved as quickly as possible.
Call your local Chamber of commerce to make sure that they understand what this will mean if this law is passed.
Will you support our work by becoming a monthly Demand Progress sustainer? Our small, dedicated, (under-paid) staff is entirely member-supported. (You can cancel your donations at any time.)
Yes! I’ll become a Demand Progress sustainer today. I can’t, but I’ll click here to chip in $5 or $10 today so you can keep fighting the Internet Blacklist Bill and protecting civil liberties. But now the good news: Why is the Chamber having to go to such great lengths to ram their bill through Congress? It’s because of Demand Progress members like you. More from Techdirt:
This is the first stage of the endgame to get the law passed. To be honest, I’m surprised they’ve even had to go this far, because from the beginning it looked like they had the easy support. The fact that they felt the need to break out this little stunt shows that the opposition to PROTECT IP has actually drummed up enough noise that some politicians are concerned about the very real unintended consequences of the law.
Will you support our work by becoming a monthly Demand Progress sustainer?
Yes! I’ll become a Demand Progress sustainer today. I can’t, but I’ll click here to chip in $5 or $10 today so you can keep fighting the Internet Blacklist Bill and protecting civil liberties. Thanks so much for your continued support.
PLR content may become more valuable over time, in fact with the S978 so called youtube streaming video bill, (AKA) the ten strikes bill, would make it a felony to view upload and or other wise consume content that someone (anyone really) claims is their copyrighted content.
Which means, that the common practice of taking photos, online, using music in videos, using photos in videos, using video clips, that are online on youtube.com in mass quantity.
Literally over night about half or better of the millions of videos on youtube would have to be taken down and removed.
While they may loose this battle, (at least I hope they do) they will eventually pass a bill that criminalizes youtube videos. That means that you will need to have royalty free content, in your possession and you will need to have proof that the content is royalty free.
There are thousands and thousands of PLR photos out there, millions of music clips, being sold and some of those sellers are not even the owners of the music clips.
Words like
Could become the new way to land your self in prison, with estimates of current laws, and new laws, being produced by congress with their collective heads up their back ends, you have to wonder what they are thinking.
Millions of photos, in millions of templates, that are being sold as PLR where the actual authors of the art work were never compensated and never agreed to sell their work in the first place.
What if your buying products that are not being legally sold?
That could be a real problem, something to really seriously consider.

College student shoots home invader, saves 10 lives
Yet another reason to keep a gun in the house . . .
gun control debate, well if you were one of those college students that were about to be murdered do you think you might have a different outlook?
In the first days of May, 2009, in the notoriously dangerous neighborhood of College Park in Atlanta, Georgia, two armed criminals broke into a house party of students.
After confiscating the group’s valuables, the invaders split the men and women up into different rooms.
Witnesses say the perpetrators then counted their rounds and discussed if they had “enough” ammunition.
The students believed the gunmen were going to rape and murder the entire group of students, who were celebrating a birthday at the end of the semester.
However, one male student, whose identity is being protected by police and local media, retrieved a handgun from his backpack and fired at the thug who was detaining the men.
(That is: One smart student had prepared for a night in College Park, Atlanta.)
The criminal fled the apartment under the threat of injury and never returned.
The student continued on into the girls’ room, found the other thug, 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, preparing to rape his first victim.
The student exchanged gunfire with Lavant, lethally wounding him in the process. Lavant fled through a window and died in front of his apartment, only one building away.
One of the female students was injured during the exchange, but doctors expect a full and complete recovery.
So what’s the point?
A student saved the girls from rape, and saved the whole group of 10 people (including himself) from murder . . . and he did it with a handgun.
This is a perfect example of how ludicrous “big city gun laws” are. What if this had happened in New York, Chicago, or any of the other big cities that criminalize their citizens’ self defense?
Yes, we would be reading an entirely different story — one so horrendous that we would shudder at the very words.
Either this whole group of friends would have been raped and murdered by these two sorry excuses for human beings . . . or the hero of this story would be facing prison time for firearm possession and murder.
And that’s exactly how gun-grabber Michael Bloomberg and his Mayors Against Illegal Guns want it.
Thankfully, however, Atlanta hasn’t outlawed self-defense yet. And since someone had a gun and was willing to use it, innocent life was preserved.
Congratulations to the unnamed hero of this story. You saved your friends’ lives.
In Liberty,
Dudley Brown Executive Director National Association for Gun Rights
How much is enough and how much is too much…
The FTC would like to impose additional guides for online advertisers, which could lead to an equal protection challenge, is this the real direction that Washington wants to go?
I would hope to see equal protection for all consumers, both online and offline deceptive, advertisements on TV can be seen that promote subliminal methods of advertising, however it appears that enforcement may be an issue if disclosure is not required for all advertisers, not just internet advertisers, clear and conspicuous disclosure must apply to all advertisers, equally, including enforcement of the same standards.
I would hope that before such measures are taken to protect consumers online that there could be some measure of protection afforded the millions and millions of television viewers every day on cable TV, including loud and offensive commercials, that make use of excessive loudness and depict impossibly large food items, graphics and pictures, of pizza that are over 24 inches in diameter, yet, when the consumer goes to purchase the product, the actual product is often less than 12 inches with substantially less product and toppings.
Is this not deceptive advertising?
Another example is the 24 inch hamburger, that is shown in many fast food television commercials. Consumers may understand at some level that they are not going to actually get what they are seeing on that large screen, however, is it not deceptive to show such large depictions of food?
What about the psychological considerations of showing overly large food items on video commercials, in broadcast television?
The human Subconscious, is highly susceptible to conditioning, in video advertising, will the FTC begin to require clear and conspicuous disclosure for all forms of advertising,with such a large percentage of Americans now falling into the obese category, do we not have the duty to protect all consumers from messages that these types of commercials send to the consuming public?
I would like to understand the concern that is being directed at online advertisers and yet have no such precautions for protecting consumers that are exposed to deceptive video advertising, that use highly technical and sophisticated subliminal advertising methods, frame rates in excess of 120 frames per second often with highly suggestive use of graphics in video content, these things should be the concern of a highly motivated organization such as the FTC.
I would be in favor for such additional measures to protect consumers, if all broadcast media were also subject to the same disclosure requirements as what is currently being proposed for online advertising content, does it not make more sense to provide a safe experience for all consumers?
Clear and conspicuous, disclosures for Television Advertising must also apply to broadcast and be enforced not just applied to online advertisers.
It appears that what is proposed for online users is not being proposed for traditional media advertising, this is a real concern and should be examined as to why such provisions are not being equally examined.
These questions should be carefully considered and answered before we even consider the idea of proposing such disclosure and legal requirements for online advertisers.
Should we not apply the same protection for all consumers? Can we apply one set of guides for the internet yet ignore clearly deceptive advertising for broadcast advertisers, the same level of enforcement must be applied to both online
My question and concern, is will such disclosures be required of all commercial producers, Radio, Television, Cable, Internet.
If no such disclosure notices are proposed for broadcast advertisers, then this is something that is a serious issue and concern.
How can we not protect all consumers with the same passion and the same level of protection as the FTC guides propose for online consumers?
Should we not extend equal protection of all consumers? To apply, an unequal burden for online advertisers without providing equal enforcement for all advertisers. This is a question that we must answer before we consider these additional disclosure guides.
