AMC hires Convicted Felon as Property Data Collector

[Meandering]

Something like 70% of the arrestees (for all crimes) who get booked into our County Jail have drugs or alcohol onboard at intake.

Isn't that why weed is legal now?

And the atheist/evangelical percentages (for all crimes) would be?

Dunno. Do you think there's a correlation between religious practice and robbing liquor stores or committing rape?

Well, that is the rationale behind the legalization and decriminalization of weed. They were only criminals because they were using drugs, as opposed to using drugs precisely because they always been criminals. I take a more nuanced view that the truth is somewhere in-between those two clearly untrue extremes.

and thought it was just so states could collect more taxes.

Criminals don't pay enough in taxes, but if they pay sales taxes for legal weed..............they're no longer criminals..........

No, but I do believe there's a direct correlation between people stopped & searched for simply "looking suspicious", and people who might have detectable levels of marijuana in their system as their bodily fluids are being tested against their will while they're being "booked into County".

I positively love how you can acknowledge both the existence of "looked suspicious" and "got booked into jail" in the same breath. Which that arrest can only occur if an offense is being alleged. Your observation stands as a demonstration of the efficacy of judging the book by its cover.

This could be a very realistic possibility and if someone can prove it or if homes he previously inspected were suddenly burglarized later...

Then drones and robotic dogs would be up next. BUT... the kid at the bank controlling the robotic dog would tell his buddies that he saw some stunning jewelry and they would rob the place!

We need the appraisers back! Woohoo lol

It shows how civil rights have been routinely violated by overzealous law enforcement directed against people they "don't like". "Looking suspicious" is never grounds to be stopped and searched. A clearly articulable suspicion of "laws being broken" are.

Definitely.... they have repressed urges that they can't control. Lol

LOL. The bank robber had the right to get away without getting caught.

I had to articulate the probable cause I had for initiating contact and making an arrest every time I made one. My statements had to stand up in court, too. That's nowhere near as difficult to accomplish than you apparently seem to believe. Only the dumbest crooks ever get caught, which is one more reason for me to have zero sympathy for them.
