Dog arrested

Edwcdc said:
It's a shame. He seems like a pretty cool guy. It's not like he got arrested for doing something bad.
Uh, kidnapping, be it by bounty hunter or whomever, is illegal in Mexico. You travel to foreign lands, you live by foreign rules. I just wish they could've slapped a muzzle on that barking irritating wife of his.

Although Dog is pretty weird, and this was technically illegal, take into consideration Andrew Luster was already a CONVICTED RAPIST an had been sentanced to 124 years in prison. I guess it would have just been better if we left it to ours and other governments to do nothing to capture him, so he could still be free and raping more women.......

He did wrong by the law but as far as I'm concerned he did right.
I agree Woodchuck his wife can be a bit much, not to mention she is pretty skanky.

Technically illegal means, well, ILLEGAL.

which the same thing has been said for wiretapping phone lines without a warrant, but that is still happening isn't it?
He caught a CONVICTED rapist, from a country who refuses to extradite cop killers, and we happily turn him over while up to 4,000 fugitives have escaped back to mexico after killing americans and will never face justice here.......

Actually, what is happening is not illegal, even the FISA court has stated that the President has the authority to conduct warrantless surveillance for international security, as granted in the Constitution, and that they have no jurisdiction over it. Truth be told, FISA is probably unconstitutional because you can't amend the Constitution via statute, which is effectively what it does. Besides, it's not wiretapping; it's looking at patterns of calls to known suspects, actual phone calls aren't listened to. Your grandma's spaghetti recipe is safe.

ETA: Look at the 2002 case "[U.S. v. Truong]". A federal court "held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information." The court's decision went on to say: "We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power."

If you want to discuss this further, PM me. I know this has touched upon political speech, but I don't like disinformation and talking points to go unanswered.
