We had a thing here a few years back where a guy followed a female police officer home after they found out she had arrested their friend. His plan was apparently to assassinate her for disrespecting the gang. The end result of that was there was a dead guy in her driveway.

I now have 8 Day/night cameras 2 thermals and a relatively advanced system I have pieced together I also have a rediculous amount of loaded firearms scattered through the house I have given my fiance enough training to use them properly I added a hydraulic spike set to my drive 4" tall 1" spikes will keep someone from pulling back out if need be. I have put much thought into my security since gangs are getting more violent and are more likely to stage guerrilla type attacks. Lately the trend is the hispanic gangs breaking into house with 10+ members.

Look I can only speak for myself here, but I've been posting and trying to answer questions from the readers here from the depth of my training and experience in matters of law. I am fairly well educated, I have worked in law and law enforcement for the majority of my adult life. Its getting old to see questions posed, or statements made by the readership that have absolutely no bearing of fact. There's the way it should be and then sometimes there is the way it is. The OP and several others have been trying to explain things, in my opinion, very honestly and thoroughly, yet the thought process of the thread keeps getting derailed for nonsensical reasons.
Some of your particular posts I have not been able to answer because I truly do not understand what you are talking about. I don't think that's my fault, as I just can't figure out how your going from A-Z without the benefit of you illuminating your process.
Attacking the cops is never a good idea, in real life or on a thread, especially when all they are trying to do is COMMUNICATE with fellow human beings about how to make interactions with them a little less painful and unpleasant.
There I'm Done.

Listen, I'm posting answers to your questions based on what I know. From legal training, experience, and common knowledge. If you want a legal opinion from the USSC, a list of statutes and codes, or a formal case summary from a law library, go look it up. I would suggest Lexis Nexis Academic Universe.
As far as me authoring a brief for your amusement; I charge by the hour.
And sadly, yes, I do value my training at face value more than I value your assumptions and misconstructions of law. I wasn't ever trying to be insulting towards you, but it became fairly clear to me you lack the understanding of some very fundamental tenants of law. You are not alone in this world believe me. However, a guy with no legal training, preconceived notions, and an ideological position contradictory to societal life in a constitutional republic holds little sway with people with actual legal training.
I would suggest using this opportunity to learn from these officers instead of barfing up nonsensical arguments.

iv already done my research, but thx for the tips, i'll check em out. though all im saying, is that if you are trying to prove me wrong, your doing a terrible job of it. sry, let me spell it out for you, "ME READ, ME STUDY, ME HAVE FACTS. YOU NOT READ, YOU NOT STUDY, YOU NO HAVE FACTS." FYI, im only rude when its well deserved. and the fact still remains, you have given no substance to prove your claim. all you have presented, (and this go's for all the officers on this thread) is hearsay.

if your concerned with gang crimes, then why not ignore the harmless crimes. if you did that, then you and all other police, would have much more available resources to deal with the true criminals.
and i ask you and all other officers in this thread. if one does something that "may" cause harm, and is put into jail, or at the feet of the courts, and through conviction they are indeed caused harm. who has done the wrong doing?? a peaceful man is caused harm by his "protectors", PEACEFUL MAN, and you say this is just. i encourage you and all officers of the law to seek out those who harm the innocent. in my eyes, you are all cowards. the only replies you gave to my posts, were in an attempt to downplay, and twist. and you don't seem to address any of my true points..
Well, unfortunately, as far as free societies go, that aren't currently in a total state of chaos, WE ARE in the country who's government governs least.
Tax dollars??? That's just nonsensical. Pay taxes to whom? You just shut the government machine off remember?
Protection by whom?
I assume you mean the band of town thugs to protect you from the thugs from the other town.
What happens when those guys realize they can take your money and still shoot you dead?
Is it really free to be an economic slave to someone with a gun?
Is that somehow better than the way we do it now?
So best case scenario is armed conflict brinkmanship between towns. That will do well for free trade and human prosperity.
I can't speak for all cops, but the big difference is my family are good law abiding people, there is no reason for a search warrant to be issued for my house,
Forgive me if I have a hard time seeing the gangs members as peaceful men when they kill each other over petty things like, "youre wearing the wrong colors for this hood", or "did you just disrespect me", and then see the innocents caught in the crossfire. People in those neighborhoods are to scared to go out into their own front yards. I was raised in a neighborhood like that and I am trying to make it better. However it isn't simple our department is down to 55% of the officers we are supposed to have most of the quality of officers if dropping considerably, but I won't give up I will try my best until I die or until the world doesn't need me anymore likely the former will happen before the later.

Private security. They do a much better job at preventing crimes than police. There's a reason the rich and famous employ private security.

HAH! The United States is hardly the most liberal western nation.
Tax dollars??? That's just nonsensical. Pay taxes to whom? You just shut the government machine off remember?
Yes, there would be no taxes so the money currently being spent on policing would be instead spent in the free market on private security.

Private security. They do a much better job at preventing crimes than police. There's a reason the rich and famous employ private security.

No, I mean reputable private security firms being kept honest by free market competition.
What happens when those guys realize they can take your money and still shoot you dead?
They go out of business because they have assassinated all their clients. Not the best business model.
Is it really free to be an economic slave to someone with a gun?
Of course not!
Is that somehow better than the way we do it now?
That is the way we do it now! I'm saying its an immoral way to run society.
So best case scenario is armed conflict brinkmanship between towns. That will do well for free trade and human prosperity.
No, it will be terrible for free trade, that's why it would never happen. People are motivated by money. What is there to gain from a vigilante war between towns? You seem to be confusing communities with how the US government conducts its international affairs. It's going real well for free trade.
You think that government restrictions somehow frees up trade?
