You took an oath
"... to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States [and of your state] against all enemies, foreign or domestic."
Illegal Orders
Any order which you may receive that is contrary to the Constitution of the U.S. or of your State, or to a constitutional law, is illegal. Compliance with such an order is not only not required of you, but may be and probably is illegal, and the issuance of such an order may be a crime, which obligates you to make an arrest of the person issuing it.
Under federal law, 18 USC 242, it is illegal for anyone under the color of law to deprive any person of the rights, privileges or immunities secured by the U.S. Constitution, and under 18 USC 241 it is illegal to conspire to violate such rights. It is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This could be applied to local, state, or federal law enforcement or military personnel who abuse the rights of citizens. Every state has a similar law.
You have the right to disobey an illegal order.
The Bill of Rights is for all U.S. citizens, not just an elite class.
The current situation in New Orleans will show the true nature of authority weilded by LEO's, and National Guard, whether or not they will respect citizens Rights as gauranteed in the U.S. Constitution & Bill of Rights.
Was that just talk from LEO's on THR about supporting citizens gun rights or will you back it up with opposition to the current LEO's and CHP activities we've read about here on THR?
