WASHINGTON - August 6, 2010 - Police cannot surreptitiously stick a GPS unit on your car and track your movements without a warrant, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled. In an opinion published Friday, the court said that police use of GPS evidence to convict two individuals was a violation of the Fourth Amendment, and that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to their movements over an extended period of time.

PORTLAND, Oregon - August 5, 2010 - No need to jack up the price of a glass of lemonade. Turns out children won't have to shell out $120 for a health permit to run their lemonade stands after all.

Multnomah County's top elected official apologized Thursday for health inspectors who forced a 7-year-old girl to shut down her lemonade stand last week because she didn’t have a food-safety permit.

COXSACKIE, New York - August 5, 2010 - The following speech was delivered by top of the class student Erica Goldson during the graduation ceremony at Coxsackie-Athens High School on June 25, 2010. [Abridged]

I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system.

BROOKLYN, New York (PNN) - July 30, 2010 - The mother of an 18-year-old man who was body-slammed by a NYPD officer in early July announced plans to sue the New York City Police Department for their unprovoked attack, as reported by NY1.com.

On July 11, Rahiym Holmes was with a group of teenage friends walking home from a barbecue at Canarsie Pier. Witnesses reported that several police went to disperse the crowd at the pier and began taunting Holmes and his friends. The witnesses claim an officer body-slammed Holmes for no apparent reason.

Official extorters demand young child pay license fee.

PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - August 5, 2010 - It's hardly unusual to hear small-business owners gripe about licensing requirements or complain that heavy-handed regulations are driving them into the red.

So when Multnomah County shut down an enterprise last week for operating without a license, you might just sigh and say, there they go again.

Except this entrepreneur was a 7-year-old named Julie Murphy. Her business was a lemonade stand at the Last Thursday monthly art fair in Northeast Portland. The government regulation she violated? Failing to get a $120 temporary restaurant license.

August 4, 2010 - Anthony Graber, a Maryland Air National Guard staff sergeant, faces up to 16 years in prison. His crime? He

his March encounter with a state trooper who pulled him over for speeding on a motorcycle. Then Graber put the video - which could put the officer in a bad light - up on YouTube.

It doesn't sound like much. But Graber is not the only person being slapped down by the long arm of the law for the simple act of videotaping the police in a public place. Prosecutors across the U.S. claim the videotaping violates wiretap laws - a stretch, to put it mildly.

PHOENIX, Arizona - August 2, 2010 - Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is hopping mad at the federal government.

Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.
