East St. Louis shows us how freedom ends

**Minors are to be off the streets at ten o’clock on both weeknights and weekend nights.

**Minors on the street during school hours will be arrested on sight.

**Police will also perform I.D. checks on street corners and conduct gun searches, and Parks says he won’t hesitate to call in the National Guard if the spike in violence continues.

Surrounded by police, Parks announced they also plan to arrest adult males and young men wearing gang colors, amounting to a city-wide dress code.

“No royal blue, no bright red to be worn by our men or our boys in this community,” Parks said. “Why is that? Those colors have long been affiliated with gang kinds of affiliations”

Asked about Constitutional concerns, and the need for probable cause, Parks says the recent wave of crime is the probable cause and justifies the extreme new measures.

Welcome to the police state, where's the ACLU on THIS one? Now I understand East St Louis is a dump, but that is no excuse to void the  following of freedom and constitutionality. As soon as you limit 1 right, say Freedom to Peaceably Assemble or The Right from unreasonable search and seizure; it's not long until that Freedom of Religion thing goes away (they all get together and dress alike you know) and then the rest, maybe one at a time, maybe all at once.

Schools, fine, if you want to go to school you must be attired with certain guidelines. Walking down the street in my Red Flannel is probable cause?

Any civil rights lawyers should rush to set up shop there, thats a retirement fund in the making.
