Description
The "chilling effect" is an attempt to stifle the willingness of another to exercise constitutional rights which they are entitled to enjoy through the use of threats and coercion, most often relying upon implied legal sanction against individuals who might exercise that right. Police intimidation while someone is exercising his or her First Amendment right to document and discuss that which is occurring in the public square definitely has an intended chilling effect.
Along with the threat of bogus psychiatric trials, police intimidation to silence targeted individuals from speaking out against the crimes that are being committed against them is an important component of the secret program of multiplexed community harassment and no-touch torture that is being directed towards certain Americans. Police officers who participate in such activity are guilty of violating a person's constitutionally protected civil rights. Police departments with policies that aid in this program are also complicit. Both of which can be sued under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. Police departments nationwide as well as the officers working within those departments should remember this before they stop someone on the word of an informer, confidential or otherwise.
I don't ask for much. I just want to be left alone and enjoy my fundamental rights, including the right to privacy and the right to enjoy my life with my family, so leave me the f*ck alone already, scumbags.
42 U.S.C. § 1983 provides:
"Every person who under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, Suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable."
