Mick: It was mentioned in a previous Wretchard post by a commenter. But, yes a nation such as Iran removed all rights when the revolution of 79 ended. It was only through decree that an individual had any rights at all.

As for using out of town thugs to suppress and interdict rioters. Just look at your own backyard. When you drive around notice the number of police and sheriff vehicles in driveways that are not of your jurisdiction… And if you ask about it the story line is we don’t want the drug dealers to be able to find the officer’s home. Seems plausible and most let it go.

But within the time frame of 9-11 to today. We now have DHS and it’s attendant coordination powers. What you will see if you are on the road selling or service tech working. Those that drive the public highways and streets daily. You will notice out of jurisdiction LEOs working traffic stops and such with local PD. Normally a sworn officer is only sworn for his local jurisdiction. But those rules have changed due to DHS consideration. Think Katrina.

We have our own basij in the making.
