The Fourth Amendment Versus Fascism
The more he writes, the worse it gets. In the 10/14/03 edition of Big Turd on Law, Kelly wrote an "article" entitled, Right to privacy versus right to kill. In it, he laments the case of Cooper v. State in which the Georgia Supreme Court determined that the state must have probable cause to force a person to submit bodily fluids for testing even when there has been an accident involving injuries or death. Mr. Diggler ignores the Fourth Amendment concerns that are the focus of the Court's opinion and gives meaningless hypothetical situations about employers reading email (no state action) and actually suggests that now, people that are high on drugs yet "appear to be functioning perfectly" (no causation) will get away with killing people willy nilly. He also suggests that a person barters away Fourth Amendment protections by driving a car since driving is a privilege. He says, "The Supreme Court, by holding that you cannot give up a constitutional right to gain a privilege, has opened up a Pandora's box that puts all Georgians at risk." Perhaps everyone driving should be subject to random cavity searches.
We've said it before and will say it again, "IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, SOMEBODY RUN AGAINST THIS MENACE!"
