The most popular sheriff in the U.S.

 Sounds like racial profiling to me. That policy has its liabilities.

 Sounds like criminal profiling to me.  High crime....law enforcement presence.  They go together.

The sign cracks me up.  "Leave us alone to commit crime"

 catpaw, the Supreme Court has ruled that the police can stop ANYONE who commits a violation of the law, no matter how minor. And if a town or area is made up largely of one ethnic group or type of people, who do suggest they stop if the person commits a crime. The KCSO did this last week in the area around the fairgrounds.

 Point well taken ~OldBlue~.....it's not Law Enforcement fault that certain communities are made up primarily of whites-blacks-mexicans-hindus-martians-etc....the y are out there to enforce the law......I don't see any profiling...just a job being done....

 racial profiling, racism, Bigotries are some of the words often used by the pro illegal immigration crowd. When all Else fails play the race card..................

Gee, "appendicitis" is a word often used by doctors who diagnose that condition.  You got something against accurate terminology?

 This sounds like racial profiling.........but.............I love his Deadbeat Parent Hall of Shame.  He also makes inmates wear stripped clothing and pink underwear. If you don't like it don't break the law.  

 Arpaio wouldn't work here

Title 15 for just one reason...................

 accurate terminology.......Illegal aliens = criminals!

 When an area is predominately whatever, and if that whatever is breaking the law..how is that profiling?

Timec..whoohoo..we agree for once.  I'm marking that on my calendar.  HEH.

 Nancy it's not profiling but even if it was so what............As far as stopping people for minor violations and asking for ID isn't that what the cops are supposed to do? When I used to drink and drive  I always made sure that all my lights worked especially my rear license plate light because that's how they get you.........Most people that I know that got busted because of a minor infraction. Hell I still say the real reason for seat belt laws and soon to hands free phones is it gives the cops another excuse to pull you over.

 "Excuse" gube? That's a stupid statement. It's called reasonable cause or probable cause.

Once again, there's a difference between jaywalking and murder.

And there's a difference between "illegal immigration" and "crime." 

excuse, reasonable cause, probable cause it's all the same.

 Yes they are criminals........

Only if you consider those who fail to register their cars on time "criminals."

 RF we will never agree on this issue because I think illegal immigrants should have no rights what so ever because they are here illegally and until they get to the end of the line and legally go through the process they don't belong here. They are criminals and should be treated as such. Thank you God that there are people like sheriff Arpaio that's See's the illegals for what they are....criminals

And I think you're wrong on that.  The Constitution's on my side.

 well at least in Arizona there being treated as criminals...........and if their not doing anything wrong then whats the big deal. Why are they leaving Arizona at a record pace? Because they know that what their doing is wrong, Why else would you run and hid....

 Is your ethnicity a reason to stop you? No.

DWB is not against the law but people are pulled over daily because of it. It is not right. Cops should not make up reasons to stop you. Hello Mam , your license plate light is out. Oh well since I have you stopped ....have you been drinking? Oh and you appear to be Mexican are you legal? That is BS!

 timec, you just cannot accept the fact that as long as the police work within the confines of the law, they are not doing anything wrong. I have stopped/detained thousands of people, and never once was it because of their color. I always had a legal reason to do so. So quit your nagging.

 OB

You are not being honest if you tell me you haven't pulled over a group of youngsters (black) because they appeared to be gangsters. Come on! Let's keep it real.

 Is Timec nagging again?

Come on Timey................

 Is Cheeky using cute nicknames instead of real arguments again?

Come on, Cheeky..........  LOL

Chico

I was told by my mom years ago whatever you do be the best  ..............and nagging is my thing and I am damn good at.

Bloggers

For the record I am called a nagger on this blog because it is one letter from a n*gger....but I am okay with that.

 timec, yes, I have pulled over or contacted a group of youngsters because I suspected they were gang members. Some were black, some Hispanic, some white, some Asian, and some a combination of these. So what's your point?

Don't forget :it's oh so clever~ not. Honestly, I think there is one type OB profiles~humans .

 sage, you aren't usually so closed minded.

*bad night* helping suicidal friend...sorry I know how you love your fellow man,my apologies. 

 True, but I do not love my ignorant fellow man....

 OB

My point is you are guilty of racially profiling. You are a cop. It is part of your job description....don't be ashamed.

 Wrong as usual timec. Using racial profiling is not allowed. However, using the law, case decisions, ect, is perfectly okay. 

And with your history blogging here, I don't think I'm the one who needs to be worried about being ashamed.  

And again, look up the definition of "nag". That is definitely YOU!

Police State? Jesus, I thought Bakersfield was bad. 5500 people and between 90-200 tax collectors. Even if what he did were noble, then he failed miserably. 15 arrests specifically looking for illegals, and only 4 hits. The link didn't work, but I imagine as time went on the arrests went up even higher in proportion to illegals, which is only around 26% already. But think of all the $50-$200 fines collected. Guppies, and somewhere all that time and energy could have been spent actually serving the public. No no, this was a training exercise just like here in town, on Eye st every weekend, get used to the black uniforms. There are supposed to be 15 cops on every corner!

 Why doesn't Illegal mean anything to you people     Random they have no Constitutional Rights    Citizens with a birth certificate have all the rights    But you will defend 100million Mexican Illegals      If I didn't know better    I could believe you don't know right from wrong      but you do hold a job        maybe because your mouth stays closed all day

 OB

I could careless what bloggers think. I know that racial profiling is not allowed. Murder is not allowed either...but it happens. I know that you are probably a good guy....but......you obviously have issues with young black men and it shows.

You want to talk about my history....Jason has to wash your mouth out with soap about once a month.

"Illegal" *DOES* mean something to me.  I'd like to keep it that way, and not apply it to situations--like "Illegal immigration"--where it doesn't apply. 

.

Sorry, Ron, but you're wrong.  People in the US--not just citizens--have rights.  That's what the Constitution says.  Beyond that, citizens have certain privileges, such as voting, which depend on certain other factors as well (like not being in jail.)

.

There aren't 100 million illegals, Ron, unless you're saying that every third person in the US is illegal.  Which may be right, if you include such dastardly crimes as jaywalking, lapsed vehicle registrations, etc.

 Timec    why is it     in the inter cities of America   90% of the Black don't graduate ?    Are they still surpassed over their Grandparents treatment    are they so mentally ill from their GREAT GREAT GREAT Parents Salvery     Where in America are they so miss treated when they do right and follow the LAW     ARE they so far above the LAW because of their GrandParents treatment ?

 Random I said you would defend 100 million Illegals  I didn't say we have reached that number yet and Random why doesn't Illegal Immigration apply to you     Are you an American Citizen or Illegal ?

By the way do you talk like this @ your Job ?   If so let me know so I can BoyCott it

Ron, if there were 100 million "illegals" there would be more of them than Republicans.  (Which sounds like a good idea, come to think of it.)

.

Why doesn't illegal immigration apply to me?  Because I was born here, I guess.  But you'll have to put me down as every bit as guilty as those "illegal immigrants"--I have a pickup that I failed to register on time.

 timec, you know my opinions well enough that I have issues with ANYONE who kills, steals, sells drugs, ect, regardless of their race, social status, age, ect. I will admit it, I HATE criminals. But I also hate crooked cops, crooked lawyers, incompetent newspaper/media reporters, and people who play the race card to try and win an argument.  Do you fall into one of these categories?

 I am not trying to use the race card to try and win anything. I don't fall into any of those categories. I am not a criminal or a loser. I am a person that cares about people. I care about people of all color. I am not by any means a person that hates anyone because of the color of their skin or what they believe in. I just think that we as God's children deserve the right to be treated equally. You know and I know racial profiling exists. You know and I know that Kern County is full of crooked LE. No, not all are bad but some. All I want you to do is admit that people are targeted because of race.

You know OB I feel that you are a good person. I do feel as a cop you have twisted views. You have a certain dislike for a whole class of people because of your experiences. You hate all gang members. Some people just need help. You may be that one that could change a life.

 Allred

You need help and I will pray for you.....

God Bless

 True, but I do not love my ignorant fellow man....

You even love Lib Dem Loons?

You are a better man than I, Gunga Dhin

Is that the standard we want to use,really??? ROFLOL

 U.S.-Mexico Pact Revealed: Billions to Non-citizens

WASHINGTON -- As a result of lawsuits, the U.S. government released this week the actual U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement, an understanding signed between the Bush administration and the Mexican government in 2004 that would funnel billions of U.S. Social Security funds to Mexican citizens.

TREA Senior Citizens League, a Washington-based nonpartisan seniors group, announced this week that after Freedom of Information Act lawsuits it filed against the government, it had received the secret agreement document.

Brad Phillips, a spokesperson for TREA, told NewsMax that the language in the agreement "raises more questions than it answers — such as what is the cost and who is going to pay."
