...and if you read more about the story, the officer refused service and his department are looking to open a dialogue with the store owners, as they should.
Also, the yelp vigilantes have struck.
Just another day in Oakland.
...and if you read more about the story, the officer refused service and his department are looking to open a dialogue with the store owners, as they should.Who is funded by the shop's tax money to do a specific job?
So they have no probable cause to investigate, but you still want the government to investigate as a form of intimidation and harassment. Disgusting.
Yeah, and I'm not much of a fan of those either.ehhem... dui/narcotic checkpoints. Immigration checkpoints in Arizona...
To the OP.. you say you have the right to not serve someone wanting a cake.. well then you can't have it both ways.. people have the right to not serve someone coffee

People should be able to critically reason but you didn't. Your opinion of what should be has nothing to do at all with what the law may actually say. Everybody discriminates as to what they think is right but law codifies opinions that thus become enforceable. You can can't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation despite whatever bigotry you may have acquired usually because of the ridiculous assumption that what may be in a book of religion must be true because the book claims it was written by the magical finger of God. This is all clearly spelled out and peer review proven in the Big Book of Truth by Moonbeam.The right to refuse service should be based on an individual, not just pretty much say fvck the police.
Sounds good. Illegal is illegal.
Am I to understand that people who advocate for the right of private businesses to discriminate against certain customers they don't like are incensed that other businesses with different beliefs would dare to discriminate against other categories of customers?
I am shocked, shocked I say, at this completely unforeseen turn of events.
If you think thats harassment, that's your opinion.
Isn't asking for papers without probable cause illegal?
I will call in with an anonymous tip.

The should then respond in kind with a SWAT call to your house in the middle of the night...
This is why we can't have nice things. If you actually have information pertinent to illegal immigration, then call it in. If you don't, then dont waste the authorities time with xenophobic falsehoods spawned from spite.I will call in with an anonymous tip.

That's doesn't really address my post. Employers who hire illegals are just as guilty of supporting illegal immigration as the people crossing the border, or facilitating it in other way. iIRC, GWB stopped enforcing penalizing employers, or at least greatly reduced the effort. Besides the point thoughI know a place that did hire illegals in my area, I never reported them, I wish I would have.

Either way, doing it fradulently is foolish, and in your context is spiteful, disingenuous, and is something that I would want to see consequences for....just like anybody who would engage emergency services such as LEO's, EMT's, or firefighters under false pretenses.
Ok, we're discussing the current situation, specifically the OP, where you are doing it out of spite, without a shred of evidence....I guess the coffee shop having a Spanish name is enough for you.Umm, I wouldn't really do it for spite, I was stating I knew it had been done. Like I said, now I wish I would have, because of the owner and manager being assholes.

I am not really doing it at all, but if someone else does knowing facts, that's cool with me. I don't live near this place or really know who they hire. The anonymous call thing was just joking around.
