The threat of Sharia Law

              The world has had two types of law throughout the ages. And for sometime now we are presented with a dangerous third type of law. Since the start of man one type of law that was implemented was Ruler's Law. Either a dictator or king would rule the empire with acceptable force with the population believing he was given the right to rule through divine right.
              The other type of law or second is People's Law. Under People's law the people create the law by how they live. But still with the faith of the divine / God. And not even force directed by God would occur because God loves man his creation. A good example of People's law is Ancient Israel. They lived by biblical law. It was their lifestyle.
               Now our threat to the systems of law we know and live by is Sharia Law. Not to say it is not a legit system of religious law but it is People's Law and Ruler's Law combined. Sharia Law ( straight path ) came about in the 7th century and was given by Archangel Gabriel to Prophet Mohammed. The Quran is the Muslim version of the christian bible is to Christians. The Quran is a series of revelations given by Prophet Mohammed. But Sharia Law promotes divine orders of force. Force inflicted upon believers and infidels.

Q 9:5 - Slay unbelievers where ye shall find them. Lie and wait for them and use stratagem of war. Unless they repent and pray regularly and practice charity , open the way for them.

                This is the threat Sharia Law imposes on Christians and other practises of faith. It calls for violence and eradication of infidels. Sharia Law also calls for Dawa. This is " call to Islam ". Sharia rejects the fundamentals of American / British society and values. Having ones own freedom of thought is seen as a violation to Sharia Law. And one important aspect is in American society that everyone is created equal. Sharia Law does not agree to this important aspect. Woman are covered and limited to extremes. Non- Muslims are looked down upon or seen as second class.

               We should be aware of this threat and I plan to continue this ongoing study of Sharia Law for my blog. To inform those who don't know I hope to show the truth. And to also hopefully dispel any misconceptions regarding this subject.

A awesome article on legal writing.

           I wanted to share this article about legal writing because the " Art of Plain Language " is very much just that. An art. Many legal professionals fail to express themselves so the reader can understand what they are reading on the first read. Many try to throw legalese in the mix or try to insert $20.00 words thinking it will prove they went to law school. And most important many lawyers " Dress to impress " the judge. And in most cases and judges schedules , it is more time consuming and will frustrate the judge when he has to slow down to understand and or READ the documents over again. So it's just best to get it right the first time and not risk making those involved frustrated. In my experience I often find it amazing how even a lawyers' paralegal fails to spell check or spell your name correctly.

            So I read this very good article about the importance of Plain Language in your legal writing. And I find it not only crucial but it will be where you ultimately will make your money as a legal professional. " Write it so the reader understands the first time he or she reads. "

Where did the Fourth Amendment come from?

Carroll v. United States, 267 U. S. 132, 149 , Be mindful of the " Third Party Doctrine " whereas a individual  has a reduced expectation of privacy in information knowingly shared with another. The Fourth Amendment has drawn these lines but with increased social media and cell phone technology these lines often turn blury and grey for law enforcement and not so in favor for those being watched or investigated.

No warrant? No cell phone. Supreme Court makes Ruling.

CARPENTER v. UNITED STATES 
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT 
No. 16–402. Argued November 29, 2017—Decided June 22, 2018 
Law Enforcement can no longer obtain information regarding your whereabouts or cell phone data without a warrant. What is typically called " Pinging " , cops can't just intrude on your privacy. A 5-4 Majority decision protects American's 4th Amendment. Although this Supreme decision will not protect those who decide to really wreak havoc on society by threatening to bomb someone or something and or child abduction and active shooter incidents. So tip to the would be criminals , leave the cell phone home if you intend to do something stupid and get arrested.
