[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 3089759, member: 42957"] During the late monarchical period in France, lettres de cachet (pre-signed by the King and a Governor) allowed those who possessed them to simply place any person’s name on the document and the Police or Military Authorities would Arrest and Imprison them. During British Colonial Rule, generalized (nonspecific) writs of assistance’ were issued to British Customs Agents and Sheriffs that allowed Search and Seizure of Smuggled Goods and Contraband from any Colonial Residence, Business Property or Farm. Customs Officials would just show up arbitrarily and tear people’s homes apart looking for goods that could not be proven to have had taxes paid. The idea that Protection and Security is more important than Protecting our Freedoms goes against what is perhaps our most profound ideological tenet. Benjamin Franklin, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." was not his belief alone. Our founders gambled their lives and worldly possessions to secure Liberty over Security. The Value of Liberty over Security was passed down our citizens, but now it seems less real, or less important; in fact, this is one of those things that people won’t miss until it is gone. If we allow unverified statement’s to initiate Searches, Seizures and Arrests of Citizens without Due Process in the Name of Public Safety and Security, we Surrender our Liberty and our Freedom and in so doing subject ourselves to Great Hazard and Insecurity at the hands of our Government and our Police. Further, as a Juror in any Trial where an Arrest and Evidence was obtained consequent to a Warrant issued and based solely on the statement of one person (even worse a Juvenile), I will in good conscience find the Defendant NOT GUILTY despite instructions from any Judge or statements by any Prosecutor as to the appropriateness and validity of any evidence or testimony obtained in consequence of such a tenuously justified Warrant as to me it is all Poison Fruit.
