President Trump Quietly Signs Bill Allowing Warrant-less Searches of Homes

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

 

Congress Quietly Passed a Bill Allowing Warrantless Searches of Homes—Only 1% Opposed It   Recently updated !

A bill that will allow homes to be searched without a warrant was passed with overwhelming support by the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Trump—and it happened with no media coverage and very little fanfare.

On the surface, House Joint Resolution 76 looks harmless. The title of the bill claims that its purpose is Granting the consent and approval of Congress for the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland, and the District of Columbia to enter into a compact relating to the establishment of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission.”

The proposal for a safety commission to act as a wing of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority may sound logical, when its power includes thing such as the ability to Adopt, revise, and distribute a written State Safety Oversight Program” and to “Review, approve, oversee, and enforce the adoption and implementation of WMATA’s Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan.”

However, there is one major red flag buried within the text of the bill that stems from the list of “powers” given to the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission, and it violates one of the basic tenants of the U.S. Constitution.

The text gives the Commission the authority to enter property near the Metro Rail System “without limitation” and without a warrant, for the purpose of “making inspections, investigations, examinations, and testing.”

This clearly goes against the Fourth Amendment, which states that Americans’ rights to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.”

When the bill was brought to a vote in the House of Representatives, there were only five Congressmen who voted against it: Representatives Justin Amash, a Republican from Michigan; Walter Jones, a Republican from North Carolina; Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky; Alex Mooney, a Republican from West Virginia; and Mark Sanford, a Republican from South Carolina.

Amash called out the hypocrisy surrounding the fact that even though this legislation is in clear violation of the Constitution, it was passed by Congress with overwhelming support. Only 5 of us voted against a bill allowing govt to enter/search private property in parts of VA, MD & DC w/o warrant,” He wrote on Twitter.

This is not the first time Congress has quietly passed a bill that will take away some of the most basic rights of law-abiding citizens in the U.S., and it won’t be the last. One of the most important things to remember about this legislation is that it was ignored by the media, and while it may only affect the Washington D.C. metro area now, it could be laying the blueprint for future legislation across the country.

      Well now, this should scare the crap out of Law Enforcement & Politicians. Th US Constitution is very clear on this matter so Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null & void. This nonsense can not be lawfully enforced & if any Law Enforcement officers attempts to do so may be taking his life into his own foolish hands. Any warrant-less search is an unlawful & criminal act, that police Officers Constitutional authority is nullified and any U.S.citizen has the right to defend himself or property with any or all force necessary up to & including deadly force. All I can say is I hope the Law Enforcement community refuses to comply or welcome to the real Civil War … We are not Soros paid Antifa actors or CIA/FBI stooges, we are the constitutional Military, Veterans & Patriots & we are going to put up with this bullshit….

      • MyTwoCents

        Yes, Marbury vs Madison – Anyone can look it up. A government “by, for and of the people” requires participation by, for and of the people. How can it be so if we don’t all participate and keep an eye on them? The media’s obviously not going to do it anymore.

        • 2QIK4U

          The media never has since the first World War. You’ve only just awoken to the fact.

          • 2QIK4U

            Vancouver is it… MD? Michigan Detroit.. DC PIZZA kingdom. Isn’t Michigan now a little Afghan take over city? We have entire suburbs like that in Australia and it’s how they integrate an entire race into a country. Australia has always had its different areas where one type of culture are the majority and it does feel like a different country because all the shops written language changes. Easy example that you guys have to is China Town.

            • unidentified

              most of the foreign language retail signs are chinese :lol:

      • Just me

        This kind of law must be in the form of a constitutional amendment. Sadly they are already doing this all around the country with no-knock warrants. The best defense is a good offense. Anything else is illegal.

        “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs (security operatives) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

        ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

        • Andy

          what if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an illegal arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return home to a still living family

          people power – if 100 police turn up to do something unconstitutional and WE THE PEOPLE send 100 citizens to each officers home, then tell them all to phone home and hear the chanting outside of each of their family homes

          i wonder how many would stay on the job and not go home

          • Just me

            That’s why their names are concealed and they wear masks – like the criminals they are. When the people fear the government there is fascism. When the government fears the people there is liberty.

            • Andy

              pretty sure it wouldn’t take much hacking to find out who’s on duty (and when) in every jurisdiction in the US, and find their home addresses too

              we don’t need to use violence,, just let the armed thugs know we’re not going to sit idly by and let them rape our rights

      • Josie

        I agree, this is wrong!

      • The Troubles

        Eaglefeather, very well stated. :smile:

        There are many Veterans and Patriots that are on top of this issue. They are quietly waiting in the wings. Waiting to take this so called Garbage out….to the curb for immediate pick up by a DC Garbage Truck. :???:

        It is OUR understanding that these quiet ones, in fact made a promise and not a threat of any kind. :eek:

        :arrow: However, it appears that time may be somewhat short. Tick Tock, Tick Tock………. :mad:

        What was the saying?……..”Come and Take it”….NWO ass-wipes!- :mrgreen:

    • raburgeson

      You just started a war against the police, a real one. States have constitution also, you had better read them.

      • Andy

        the police have been at war with “we the people” for decades, so no, he did not start a war

      • Just me

        I’m not afraid to die in the defense of liberty – but I bet they’re afraid to die while destroying liberty. Let the best man win.

    • Detergent

      Problem is, such a law can only be nullified by the Supreme Court. It will take numerous violations of the Constitution under this law before someone takes it to court; then many more years and many hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees before the SC can decide the matter. Until then, it stands. Bad system.

      • Anonymous

        No the supreme court is not above our own morals if we believe a law to be unconstitutional then we do not have to obey cause what would you do if the supreme court is corrupt and only rules in favor of a law even if it is unconstitutional or if they decide not to even listen like in the case of the patriot act . It is your way of thinking that has brought this tyranny on us . We are the masters not the government they just are suppose to uphold what we want not tell us what is right or wrong.

      • MyTwoCents

        They already decided it! Marbury VS Madison! Look it up.

        • Just me

          Very true – but SCOTUS is irrelevant since they do not have the authority to override the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

      • Just me

        Such a law can only be enacted by a constitutional amendment. Therefore it is a FAKE law.

    • OBSERVER

      It will spread everywhere even in your underwear, when it does it will be clear time to reset.

      2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE (Agape)of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

      123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies

      #1 “ONE” not triune: ……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
      Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT

      PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
      “WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
      JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
      Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
      The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense
      TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
      - Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
      …… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

      #2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
      till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
      they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
      2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

      #3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
      (1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
      (2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
      (3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
      will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

      This is only to prevent the guys that did 911 from renting or buying a house next to a Metro subway tunnel, and digging a tunnel to place explosives where they will collapse the tunnel itself. Some of them already live in good locations.

      Yeah lets search the Trump tower then.

      Of course he did.

      Yet look at you all making excuses for him!

      This is something you guys would freak out about if any other president did it.

      But since you’re completely brainwashed into thinking Trump is somehow a good 1%-er you bend over and take it.

      Folks.

      Scaremongering at it’s best! Why use images of POLICE when it doesn’t actually give the police power to enter a property without warrant? Check the ‘Powers of entry’ of your gas, electric, water and telephone suppliers and they ALL have the power to enter your property without a warrant. Your Constitution entitles you “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.” These companies aren’t entering your properties to do any of those things, they’re entering them to keep the relevant networks running. They have to give you 15 days notice of their intention to access your property – unless it is an emergency, in which case they can enter without permission.

      It really is time some of you guys actually did some researching and thinking for yourselves – otherwise you’re no different from all of the mainstream ‘sheeple’ who blindly follow what the MSM are feeding you. Too many here are simply becoming ‘sheeple’ of the alternative media.

      • Andy

        “Too many here are simply becoming ‘sheeple’ of the alternative media.”

        well said,, but then you can’t expect sheeple to become shepherds merely because they visit a different website

        sheeple = those who will follow anyone & anything for the “safety in numbers” herd mentality
        shepherd = one who leads, not others, but himself

    • American Faith Today

      This sounds concerning but I’m going to need more information on how they’re going into private residences or privately owned property when the bill seems to say federal government owned or occupied.
