Talk:State of Emergency
Actually no....
- Depending on the needs of that emergency, people may be arrested without cause, private places may be searched without warrant, or private property may be seized without immediate compensation or a chance to prior appeal.
- The courts in the United States are often very lenient in allowing almost any action to be taken in the case of such a declared emergency.
No. American law generally doesn't allow for these things even with a declaration of emergency.
Why capital letters, rather than lower-case state of emergency? Michael Hardy 23:28 26 May 2003 (UTC)
Okay, I want to know your source for this, because every court case I ever read makes exceptions for all kinds of things because of it is necessitated by an emergency. So, I am just taking out any reference until you give some sort of cite. I don't have the time to actually cite things. Are you a lawyer? PhatJew
I looked up habeas corpus and it discusses the suspension of rights during an emergency. So, I am putting the stuff about suspension of constitutional rights back in. PhatJew
