More Assaults on the Fourth Amendment

For those who don't feel like clicking the link to a video, here are the basics of what happened: Police in Aurora, Colorado were searching for a bank robber and received a "credible tip" that the suspect was at a certain intersection. So what did the Aurora police do? They handcuffed and detained every last adult who was at the intersection. Forty innocent people were detained for over two hours, some who had children in their cars with them.


The Aurora police are justifying this action by saying that, by golly, they did actually find their man! I guess that means that the two-hour detainment of forty innocent citizens, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment, was totally justified. Riiight.
