gulli.com - home Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights and protects against abuse of government authority. The Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury; the Grand Jury Clause is one of the few provisions of the Bill of Rights not held to have been incorporated to the states, most of which have replaced grand juries. The Amendment also provides several trial protections, including the right against self-incrimination (held to also apply to custodial interrogations and before most government bodies) as well as the right to be tried only once ("double jeopardy") in federal court for the same offense. The Amendment also has a Due Process Clause (similar to the one in the 14th Amendment) as well as an implied equal protection requirement (Bolling v. Sharpe). Text[edit] Infamous crime[edit] Grand jury[edit] Grand jury indictments may be amended by the prosecution only in limited circumstances. Double jeopardy[edit]

La quadrature jette l'éponge ? Les questions de financement pour les campagnes autour du libre ne sont pas nouvelles, mais peuvent être handicapantes. En effet, une lecture simpliste, mais efficace, est de se dire que s'il n'y a personne pour financer une action, alors qu'il se trouve toujours du monde pour acheter des abonnements Data-GSM sans adresse IP par exemple, c'est que l'action en question ne doit pas avoir lieu, n'étant pas soutenue. Faute de finances pour La Quadrature du Net, il faudra bien jeter l'éponge. Les appels régulièrement lancés par @jzim pour soutenir La Quadrature du Net indiquent clairement que la structure a besoin de fonds. Ce qui peut se comprendre: il faut bien que les gens qui sont à plein temps[1] vivent. Pour le moment, La Quadrature du Net vit de beaucoup de bénévoles, et de quelques personnes à temps plein (au sens associatif du terme). Il n'a jamais été secret que le financement de La Quadrature venait, en très grande partie, de l'Open Society Institute. Pourquoi je vous parle de ça?

JFK: Secrecy is Repugnant Some 250,000 classified cables and embassy dispatches from the State Department are being released today via WikiLeaks latest, and reportedly largest, document dump ever. Within the last hour, news reports based on those documents have begun to be published by various world media outlets that are said to have been given advanced access. [Update: Browse all of the documents now via WikiLeaks' "CableGate" database.] Among the very first revelations to emerge, as quickly highlighted on Twitter via search hashtags #WikiLeaks and #CableGate this morning, are details on the U.S. having pleaded with Germany in 2007 to not prosecute CIA operatives who kidnapped and tortured a terror suspect, Yemeni officials covering up U.S. drone strikes in their country, Saudi officials encouraging U.S. to take attack Iran, the U.S. spying on UN diplomats, as well as various, potentially embarrassing State Department assessments of allied world leaders. There will be much more to come. As well, John F.

GPL scores historic court compliance victory High performance access to file storage Open sourcers have scored a major victory in a US court over violation of the GPL. The Software Freedom Conservancy has secured $90,000 in damages for willful infringement of GPLv2, plus nearly $50,000 in costs from Westinghouse Digital Electronics over its illegal distribution of the Unix utility BusyBox. The company has also been ordered to stop shipping product loaded with BusyBox. It's the first time a US court has awarded an injunction ordering a GPL violator to permanently stop distribution of out-of-compliance GPL'd software. It might not be the last. Westinghouse was pulled up for copying, modifying, and distributing BusyBox in firmware for its HDTV products and in software intended for use in HDTV without complying with the GPL license. As part of the settlement, SFC has also secured the right to compel Westinghouse to hand over all unsold products loaded with BusyBox for donation to charity.

Chemtrails offiziell bestätigt - Chemtrails gone public! Credit to Wolkenwatcher! Die Frage, ob denn nun das Wetter oder der Mensch spinnt, stelle ich mir seit einiger Zeit immer öfters... Ich kenn einige Menschen (und auch Tiere), die über alle möglichen Beschwerden klagen. Kopf, Hals, Lungen oder Haut usw... überall und ständig klagen sie über unsere "Zivil-Isolations"-Krankheiten, bis der Krebs sie dahinrafft. Allen Verschwörungestheorien rund um "Chemtrails" und anderen "Geo-Engineeringmaßnahmen" zum Trotz, werden aber seit eh und je solche Krankheiten "offiziell" immer unser eigenen "Labilität" zugeordnet. "Der Mensch taugt halt eben nicht viel", so die Geger. Mensch, was haben wir uns alles gefallen lassen müssen. Doch seit Monaten ist die Lage anders! Lange bevor der CO² Ablasshandel zu scheitern drohte, so meine Meinung, fand in mehreren, geheimen Gremien und Sitzungen eine regelmässige Schlacht zwischen den Eiszeit und Klima-Erwärmungsbefürwortern statt. Soweit so gut... Jetzt kommt es! Nun liegt es schwarz auf weiß auf der Hand.

Rob Kall: Former CIA Agent Ray McGovern Discusses Arrest at Secretary Clinton's Internet Freedom Speech On Tuesday, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on issues of free speech at George Washington University, 71-year-old former CIA analyst Ray McGovern was assaulted, dragged from the room and double handcuffed with metal cuffs causing profuse bleeding. What had he done to elicit this treatment? This was not the first time this former Army intelligence officer employed this form of peaceful, civil resistance. Ray explained that it was in this spirit that he chose to protest Clinton's policies and track record. Hillary is the driving force, together with a few others, behind the wars in Afghanistan. When Secretary Clinton walked into the room, the audience rose and applauded before sitting back down. It was my symbolic way of saying not everybody agrees with her. This time things were very different, Ray commented, "I didn't think that would get me roughed up and arrested for disorderly conduct." They grabbed me and the shock wore off.

Torrent Search - Search all Torrent Engines from one Site Appeals Court Rules Against Secret Police GPS Tracking | Threat Level A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the police can’t covertly track a suspect’s car using a GPS device for an extended period of time without getting a warrant. The ruling in the D.C. Court of Appeals overturned the conviction of a suspected cocaine dealer, saying that the use of a secret GPS tracking device on the man’s vehicle for one month violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a friend of the court brief supporting the challenge. The government argued that a 1983 Supreme Court case U.S. v. But the court found otherwise in its ruling (.pdf), drawing a distinction between short term monitoring that’s not much different from a police tail and ongoing, secret and ubiquitious tracking. Repeated visits to a church, a gym, a bar, or a bookie tell a story not told by any single visit, as does one’s not visiting any of these places over the course of a month. See Also:

Definitely not surprising. Foreign policy has been conducted in this manner for decades and decades. I agree about the media -- it should be their job to go digging, not to be the lapdogs of those they should be watching with a sharp eye. by the_third_man Dec 1

I didn't find any of it surprising though. I also find it hypocritical the way the media is reacting to it. by jmile69 Nov 30
