#rights

What every #despot needs is an engine to deal with their enemies, be it through #criminal #law or defenestration.

For either to work you basically need to have the entire #judiciary under your thumb and be able to define rights as you go.

If #rights are not guaranteed, #RuleOfLaw is not an obstacle. This means that having variable rights instead of #InalianableRights is the same as having no rights.

The Workplace Justice Program is here to help workers in Nova Scotia understand their rights & fight to make their workplaces better. Our goal is to teach workers about the laws that protect them, give them tools to solve problems as they come up, & support them in fighting for changes to improve the law for everyone. First... "Know Your Rights At Work". Please post and share widely, in Halifax.

Does the arresting officer ask this question at EACH and EVERY traffic stop? If not, this is #profiling and #racial #discrimination. That's #illegal. This officer should be facing #civil #rights violation charges. Meanwhile, keep the pressure on. Highlight every #detention. Get the #press involved. Shine a #light on these #wrong #arrests.
