The SJC has no sense of the real world. They do not care a whit about the safety of cops or the public.

Most people in MASS think the SJC protects their rights more strictly against Police involvement than any other State.

However the opposite is true. People in MASS have less protection, are not afforded the same equal protection under the law that other citizens are.

Because the SJC prohibits the Police in MASS from conducting investigations with the same level of ability allowed by the US Supreme Court of every other State.

People in MASS are more at the mercy of criminals than the other 49 States only because of the SJC. The SJC contains some of the most incompetent legal minds in the World.

All I have to say is TO BAD. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!. He is a fat lazy loser. 350 lb's is being nice actualy. And before one of his boys tries to come on here and tell me to say it to his face. I already have.

I'm willing to bet the judge will let him out.

He was observed in a drug deal and then te SJC states that the officer was wrong for patting fatboy down? WTF! Again the left wing loons on the SJC protecting the wrong people.

When the SJC interprets the laws to favor the criminal, you know they have lived a life that has been far to sheltered to be considered "reality". Unfortunately, most police are there for "bagging and tagging", acessing the carnage and damage done. You see all to frequently, that when pro-active policing is done, someone's "civil rights" are being violated. Most likely, my rights are being violated by this "rolled fat", 340 lb street thug, who I'm taking a wild guess here, is probably some childs father, and that child is supported by public assistance, and not the crack dealing "dad".

"The SJC decision ruled that police could not pat down a suspect unless they had specific information that they person was armed or had a history of violence".
The stupidy oozing out of that decision is immeasurable.I was going to comment further but I'm just totally flabbergasted not to mention speechless.....

If this got tossed out, how is it that a Boston Cop was suspended and almost fired for allegedly using steroids, yet no steroids were ever recovered and the drug test came back negative, the officer was not arrested or even observed holding, managing or having access to steroids.

How did Infernal Affairs find the officer guilty without no evidence, I guess cause the public never knew and because Davis and Menino get their way.

Since when is it against the rules for the police to pat down a person being arrested? What a bunch of quacks on the SJC! At least one is in touch with reality. Keep the one that voted to keep this guy in jail and replace the rest with turnips. I'm sure the turnips can make wiser decisions.
