  • If it's unified under the federal government, then an asshole president can mess with it.

    If it's distributed, with states and major cities having their own instances, then it's more asshole-resistant.

  • What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists?

    Jump

  • They certainly do miss some dangerous items, including weapons; but they also do catch thousands of people per year trying to take firearms on planes.

    How many of these people intended political violence against civilians (i.e. terrorism) is not determined. Some may intend ordinary nonpolitical violent crime. Some may be really stupid hunters who don't read the signs that are all over airports telling hunters not to try to carry on firearms. Some may be really incompetent gun smugglers. Some may have just forgotten which backpack they put their handgun in.

  • So does voir dire.

    Jury nullification is a real thing, but it is often misunderstood ... mostly because right-wing libertarians and sovereign-citizen kooks have spent decades pushing conspiracy theory about it.

    It isn't an affirmative right of citizens to get onto juries and block the enforcement of the law. Rather, it's a logical consequence of two important rules in our legal system:

    1. Double jeopardy: if a defendant gets a "not-guilty" verdict from a jury, that defendant cannot be retried for that same crime.
    2. Juror independence: the judge cannot order the jury to return a particular verdict, nor punish them for returning a verdict that seems contrary to the facts and the law.

    Double jeopardy is in the US Constitution. Juror independence comes from English common law, where it was established in 1670 in an infamous case where a judge imprisoned and tortured jurors for not returning the verdict the judge wanted.

    Because of these two principles, if a jury returns a "not-guilty" verdict, the defendant goes free; even if the verdict seems blatantly contrary to the facts and the law. Even if the jury is blatantly wrong, nobody in the system has any authority to do anything about it — not the judge, not the prosecutor, not the cops.

    If you are summoned to be on a jury and you make it clear that you do not intend to judge the case on the facts and the law, you will be dismissed from the jury in voir dire. If you preach nullification to your fellow jurors, you might cause a mistrial: the defendant will not be freed; the court will just get a new jury, and the defendant will go back to jail in the meantime.

    A mistrial does not free the defendant. A hung jury (refusing to come to a consensus) does not free the defendant. Only a not-guilty verdict frees the defendant.

    It's worth noting that these acts may be "violence" in someone's estimation, but are not within the typical description of "violent crime" or "domestic violence" in a criminal sense.
