Federal Crimes/Cases chart Shows the Extent We Have LOST our Civil Liberties!

I found this today, and now Fully realize the Extent, we have lost our most Basic Rights and Civil Liberties. The Chart is of Federal Crime Cases in Court since 1980!

It shows, violent crime has stayed even, Property crime has fallen, but the two crimes that have risen are: Drugs and PUBLIC ORDER!



I then wanted to know MORE of what the Meaning of "Public Order" was as "crimes".

from en.wikipedia.org...

crime which involves acts that interfere with the operations of society and the ability of people to function efficiently", i.e. it is behaviour that has been labelled criminal because it is contrary to shared norms, social values, and customs. Robertson (1989:123) maintains that a crime is nothing more than "...an act that contravenes a law." Generally speaking, deviancy is criminalized when it is too disruptive and has proved uncontrollable through informal sanctions.

link to original source of crimes chart: ojp.usdoj.gov...

During 2005, criminal cases were commenced against 91,578 defendants in U.S. district court. Most (88%) were charged with a felony offense. Thirty-four percent of felony defendants were charged with a drug offense; 38% of all defendants were charged with a public-order offense -- including 20% with an immigration offense and 11% with a weapons offense. Fourteen percent were charged with a property offense.

www.ojp.usdoj.gov... this link gives the complete information of how many were sent to jail, pleaded guilty etc. The above external reference is also from this link.

Note: Includes all cases handled by U.S. district court judges and Class A misdemeanors handled by U.S. magistrates. Beginning with 1994, the data reported are based on the Federal fiscal year beginning October 1; prior years' data are based on the calendar year.

I tried to have these set in the right columns, but it does not take, there are four columns of numbers, violent, property, drug and public order are the last set of numbers in the columns.

Do you notice anything about the numbers? They went up dramatically the last ten years, also what about the last 4 years? What are those numbers? I would bet they have even possibly DOUBLED on the "public order" column!

I believe this shows how people have been charged with "public order" crimes more than have been charged with violent and property crimes.

The public order crimes can be from people demonstrating or supposively using our right to voice our opinion.

These statistics show, where are country has been heading for awhile now.
Again, what are the numbers from the last few years? Will we ever know?

I have found a site with all the public order offenses listed:

www.leg.state.or.us...

a few of them listed are:

TREASON, RIOT, DISORDERLY CONDUCT AND RELATED OFFENSES



166.005 Treason



166.015 Riot



166.023 Disorderly conduct in the first degree



166.025 Disorderly conduct in the second degree



166.065 Harassment



166.075 Abuse of venerated objects



166.076 Abuse of a memorial to the dead



166.085 Abuse of corpse in the second degree



166.087 Abuse of corpse in the first degree



166.090 Telephonic harassment



166.095 Misconduct with emergency telephone calls



166.116 Interfering with public transportation



INTIMIDATION



166.155 Intimidation in the second degree



166.165 Intimidation in the first degree

those are just a few, there are many many more listed on the site including all kinds of "weapons" offenses.

This is excellent.
Keep the people in order.
Control the masses.
Make every independent thought and action a crime.
How disturbingly convenient.

Star for you bro-

This is shocking and very revealing, I had no idea. I had no idea and I was a government agent for years. Still, this is not a good thing for us. When the lions share of prosecutions are for matters related to "public order".

Man, this really says a LOT!

I agree, I had no idea and it very definitely tells you about the "state" of our consitution!

The last 4 years though, have been the worst consitution abuses - I would REALLY like to see the numbers of how MANY people have been brought up for "crimes" of public order, since 2005

Thank God for the second amendment.They may have us at a disadvantage with all the bogus laws on the books.But when it all finally comes down to confiscation of our last bastion of hope. The people will erupt in mass. Then we can right all the wrongs our court system has bestowed upon us.
