This includes the private residences of subcontractors and contractors who run businesses out of their homes

Even more crazy is that you can't tell anyone you've been raided, including seeking or talking to legal counsel.

So you technically are denied legal counsel if you are targeted by a blatently unconstitutional search.

And it's legal for them to destroy any incriminating records that they want at any time.

Unlimited power to target whoever they want and no legal recourse.

Welcome to Germany 1935.

This law is categorically unconstitutional. It is a prima facie contradiction of multiple specific amendments in the bill of rights. This will certainly be thrown out - even hard-right judges won’t be able to justify this. It’s clearly not reasonable in the slightest.

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 2 years ago

So are the lawnakers complete morons or do they have an ulterior motive?

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

Their motives are strictly unconstitutional and pure evil. Republicans want their own private gestapo.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 20 points 2 years ago

It's political theatre. If it passes, they get a Gestapo. If it is thrown out (likely), they can chum the waters and get their base frothing about "woke judges" or some shit.

Either way, they win.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 16 points 2 years ago

Complete morons or performative assholes, you say?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

even hard-right judges won’t be able to justify this. It’s clearly not reasonable in the slightest.

I dunno about that, Supreme Court looking pretty right wing lately

This will be a federal conservative policy soon enough

[-] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Reminds me more of Eastern Germany to be honest. But yeah, that's fucked up no matter where it happened before.

Moreover, Gov Ops staff will be authorized to enter “any building or facility” owned or leased by a state or non-state entity without a judicial warrant.

That sounds unconstitutional. I mean, the whole thing sounds unconstitutional but that especially.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 34 points 2 years ago

Repealing the fourth amendment will be a plank on the GOP platform

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The 4th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th.... hell, all of them except the 2nd, really.

That's why a Constitutional Convention in the present climate scares the absolute shit out of me.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

They absolutely will go after the Second Amendment when they are ready to.

Conservative: "But I'm one of you!"

Republican: "LMAO!"

Lol yeah that’s 100% going to get thrown out in court.

[-] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 127 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh, look. The party of Nazi apologists is passing laws to make their own Gestapo. But everyone comparing them to Nazis are the real problem.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 23 points 2 years ago

That’s when you respond saying “fine, NKVD then, you guys are like the Soviets”

See what the assholes say then

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 67 points 2 years ago

seems like a violation of the 4th amendment but knowing the current supreme court they'll rule it doesn't apply to state laws (but the 2nd amendment does!)

[-] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 50 points 2 years ago

The constitution only applies when the billionaires giving them huge bribes say it does. Couldn’t be simpler.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago

chuckles I'm in danger.

[-] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 28 points 2 years ago

Benjamin...get the Musket.

[-] rivermonster@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago

These paramilitary groups part of the ruse of fascism and were instrumental in the fall of the Weimar Republic.

DeSantis has a whole special group of militant nazis under his command too that their state funded.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

Sounds like someone is gearing up to steal a fuckton of money and wants power over any investigation that might stem from it.

[-] febra@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

So more nazi stuff coming out of the GOP. What's wrong with you America

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 2 years ago

Decades of siding with fascists over even milquetoast socialists, including when NATO member Greece got couped by its own military.

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

With some people all you need is one look and think "that guy is a awful person and shouldn't be anywhere near dictating rules for other people." and this guy is one of them. Though to be fair that's like 95% of elected Republicans as well

That's a newspaper based in Raleigh, reputable as such things go. Source: I live nearby

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Truthout is a good source. You know they are good because Karl Rove purposely gave them bad information so Republicans could come back and disparage the source.

We need more Republicans put in prison for stuff like this.

[-] argo_yamato@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

That's pretty messed up

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Ur swastika is showing.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

People overreact. This is just the way north carolinians is. If you meet a north carolinian you can just ask them to turn around and bend over because your going to fuck them up the ass. And they will do it. Source. this law.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago
[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 26 points 2 years ago

fair enough. I don't really mean it but man if absolutely anyone votes for this guy or anyone who votes for the bill. They should consider themselves bendover buddies. You can't allow shit like this and then wave the flag and present a pocket constitution like you mean any of it.

[-] camr_on@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Everyone I know here in NC that is informed is desperately sick of these fuckers, but there is so little we can do. Even when we manage to vote blue, we have a fucking turncoat who switches to GOP and lets them get away with horse shit like this. Send help please

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

yeah. I realize ya all are not necessarily like that. sorry for the shade and keep up the fight.

Well at least some of us can read the snark. You had me in that first moment though.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

oh yeah I could not keep the sarcasm bottled up on this one. a bit meaner than usual for me to post publically. Man that law is some bs. This is not how you keep violence off the streets.
