Hence the reason it's called "security theater".
Until it's successfully challenged in court, the President can do whatever he wants. Unfortunately, that rarely seems to happen.
"An influential part of the US entertainment industry will never be satisfied until the USA is turned into a police state, with them as the beneficiaries."
This is the really sad part. A Corporatocracy controlled by the entertainment industry? Really?
They also seem to be relying more and more on their "interpretation" of a law, or just making one up as they go.
Wow, an AC with an intelligent post. Those are few and far between here. Kudos to you, sir.
The bus should get 20 years to life for this heinous crime!
As has been said before, whether or not he was being an ass is your OPINION. He did nothing illegal.

"RCW 9.62.010 Malicious prosecution. Every person who shall, maliciously and without probable cause therefor, cause or attempt to cause another to be arrested or proceeded against for any crime of which he or she is innocent: (1) If such crime be a felony, is guilty of a class C felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in a state correctional facility for not more than five years; and (2) If such crime be a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. [2003 c 53 ? 40; 1992 c 7 ? 15; 1909 c 249 ? 117; Code 1881 ? 899; 1873 p 203 ? 98; 1854 p 92 ? 89; RRS ? 2369.] Notes: Intent -- Effective date -- 2003 c 53: See notes following RCW 2.48.180."
Seems to me that anyone involved in that bogus warrant is guilty of at least a misdemeanor. Good luck ever seeing those charges brought.
From watching the video, it's obvious that cop was and asshole on a power trip. Gotta love the "because I said so" bullshit. At the very least he should be fired.
Here's the list of ISPs from the article:

Amazing that those who throw accusations at Mike are always ACs. Sack up and create an account or f*ck off.
