SCOTUS upholds 4th amendment-- FINALLY.

 

Hi Gang.

 

Short one on constitutional law tonight.

 

Yeah, I am a lawyer, and so some of what I write about is legal stuff. In this case, it is about the right, under the 4th amendment to be free of unreasonable search and seizure.

The Supremes wrote a binding opinion today, clearly reaffirming the rights under the 4th amendment.

 

SCOTUSBLOG wrote about it here.:

Opinion https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20-157_8mjp.pdf

Caniglia v Strom

"Community care taking" is not an exception to the 4th amendment. And the opinion is 9-0. This is solid.

 

Its a 4th amendment case, not a 2nd amendment case, but it revolves around a taking of a firearm.

 

Read the Alito concurrence.

It takes some nice pot-shots at red flag laws at Paragraph 4.

Snowing... Is it a disaster?

Well, I hadn’t planned to write about snow this week… it was supposed to be security cameras. But, it snowed.   Lets talk about preparation for a snow disaster.   Lets talk about what kinds of emergencies can occur in snow storms, particularly on the east coast, and then talk about how you can prepare for them.   There are 2 categories, generally of problems that you may face. The first is home. The second is transportation/cars. The second is a bit easier to discuss, so lets start there.   CAR In your car, there are only a few things that are possible issues. You get stuck somewhere due to snow. You crash, and get stuck somewhere due to snow Your car breaks down. If you get stuck somewhere, the easiest solution is to have a snow shovel or military entrenching tool in your car. Dig yourself out. This is the easiest problem to fix. You may need help, but in most cases a shove is all you need. There are also some tra...

Firearm Maintanence

  Hi gang.   I know, its almost spring planting time, so I am working on some of those. I have also made contact with a fire fighter, and I am planning interview him and get some fire prevention and fire fighting tips, much like the 4 part series I did on plumbing.   But I have not done that yet.   Today, I am going to talk about firearm maintenance. The information about the schedules is coming from a number of sources, the information about breakage is coming from BattleField Vegas (BFV). Battlefield Vegas is a range that rents machine guns in Las Vegas. They go through a LOT of guns and parts.   RIFLES ARs have a very specific maintenance schedule, and if you keep it up, it may well last for near infinite time and rounds. AKs have a limited lifespan, no matter what you do, but they can be fixed, its just much harder. Most other platforms are closer to the AK than to the AR.   The AK is relatively simple. Lube it up, and change...

Raised bed gardening

  Hi Gang.   OK, so I found an interesting article on raised bed gardening. One of the key things discussed is the depth of the soil. I suspect that is one of the major contributing factors to the massive failure of gardening we suffered last year. https://www.almanac.com/content/how-build-raised-garden-bed   From the article--- The depth of the soil itself is very important and depends on which crops you wish to grow, as well as how much soil is above the ground versus below the ground. Shallow-rooted crops (such as lettuce, greens, and onions) need a minimum soil depth of 6 inches . Deep-rooted crops such as carrots, parsnips, potatoes, tomatoes, and squash need a minimum soil depth of 12 to 18 inches . If plants don’t have loose soil to this depth, the roots will not be able to go down deep enough to access nutrients. Well, I planted things that have deep roots, and the depth of the box...
