News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hey uh, just asking Mr. LE man, what constitutes 'reasonable suspicion a person is violating immigration law?'
Oh, well, speaking as an enthusiastic Nazi, whenever they have the wrong skin color or talk funny, or have a wierd last name, I just make up some bullshit charge I think they might have done. Then I get the desk jockey dork to write me up a more technical and plausible version of that bullshit for when I have to go talk to you.
... Sounds good to me!
Reasonable suspicion does have a specific legal definition.
You are right that it's not a magical shield or protection in the moment. It would matter in court but that would be well after the fact and, as we've all seen, would just give ICE time to play their shell game.
Yeah, they can just do whatever the fuck they want in the mean time, cops rarely ever get stopped by a 'reasonable suspicion' standard, which is much, much, muuuuuuch more lenient than an actual 'probable cause' standard.
Like here's how reasonable suspicion works:
We are looking for a brown guy.
We were near his apartment complex and saw a brown guy roughly matching his description go into an apartment.
This guy is wanted for... whatever made up bullshit immigration violation... so, we have 'reasonable suspicion' that that was the brown guy we were looking for, going into, i dunno, maybe his neighbor friend's apartment, maybe his, who cares, thus we are justified in breaking down the door.
And no, no it won't matter in court, its been a year and a half, brown guy died in GITMO or CECOT or Alligator Auschwitz 3 months before this case brought by his remaining US family actually got before and judge, and even if the ICE agents are found guilty, whablamo, Trump pardons them.
