Torturing suspects bought from Pakistanis for a bounty, wiretapping citizens without a warrent, running secret prisons in foreign countrys so that the U.S. courts couldn't interfer. Keeping suspects without trial and isolated for years, then letting them go, and then acting suprised when these people attrack us, and so on and so on...So where were you then? and what excatly are you afraid of now that you didn't mind then?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nemo1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2009 8:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[Honesty is sometimes not an acceptable virtue in this world.<br>   About 15 years ago, I took my 3-year-old shopping. She always liked to wear her new shoes through the store while I picked up other items. The strings were still attached, the tags still secure. She was sitting in the cart, so that was no probIem, I  got to the checkout and forgot she was wearing her new shoes. I paid and rolled the cart to my car. It was when I was taking her out of the cart that I noticed the shoes. I took her and the shoes back inside and told the customer service clerk. Her anger was apparent. She made me wait until she huffily took care of the matter. She treated me with rudeness. I paid, and walked out thinking, if it ever happens again, my girl will have new FREE shoes.<br>   My advice to anyone who finds something expensive, like a cell phone, leave it alone. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2009 6:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the advice, young people. Found one here in my apartment complex last year. did not know that it should have been left on the ground where i saw it .The rightful owner did come to the building where i live to pick it up and thank me. I wasn`t aware this could become a big problem for the finder until reading this comment.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[arthur lee davis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 7th 2009 12:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[Proves cops are stupid around the world.

' Theft by Finding ' ? What the h***  is that ?!   To ALL the police officers out there ( yeah - I know this was in England, but this stupidity happens here too ), it is s***  like this that gets the public so angry at you. I know you all like to say that it is not your job to pick and choose what laws to enforce. BUT YOU DO EVERY DAY - you see someone make an illegal turn in their car and you don't bother to ticket them because you're at the end of your shift or you're on break or whatever - you just did pick !!!  So when some act like this is really at the bottom of the priority scale, let it go, the world will not end and you'll probably get some unspoken support from the person in the future. Jeeez.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[keith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 6th 2009 9:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[No good deed goes unpunished! Unfortunately, this seems to be more common. Telling the truth only gets you into hotwater. The day the courts changed and allowed lying in the court room without punishment and often rewarded. Became the day truth was punished. Whether over there or here the truth is being punished everyday. Lies travel much faster than the truth. Our society simply has no patience anymore for the truth nor the time to hear it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 7th 2009 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[That is because the MEDIA pushes lies,lies, and more lies.The truth will never come out because that doesn't suit the Media's agenda.The court system has also fallen to the Politically Correct.IT is not about being honest or fair,It is about how the Press and the public at large influenced by the PRESS will take it.The press and people like Oprah and all her kind in the Media controls what people think Ever watch the View? People eat up whatever they say and rarely do they tell the truth SAD SAD SAD]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[speeddemon4520]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 14th 2009 1:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA["Finders Keepers" from now on, or dumpster for sure.

That is so messed up to get him arrested.  I found someones cell phone one day and they gave me a reward and met in a public place.  This person was honest and brought the cell phone to the police.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CrazyColl77]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2009 8:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[LGTHINK, preach the gospel brother. And they always say we need more cops to prevent crime, what a crock! Why so there can be more cops standing around a crime scene? Cops can't prevent any crimes cause they don't show up until after the crime, in fact I don't know why they even need guns. The citizen needs a gun so it doesn't happen in the first place. Rich people are the only ones who get preemptive law enforcement presence.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ggeeezy Q]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 12th 2009 11:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Honest Guy Returns Cell Phone, Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/06/honest-guy-returns-cell-phone-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[I could see something being defined as "Theft by finding" if someone found a lost item and kept it. Such as "finding" a laptop just lying there and walking off with it (while its owner went off for a minute for a coffee). Or even finding an accidentally dropped cell phone, such as the kid did, but swapping out the SIM cards and using it as their own, when it would have been an easy matter to determine who it belonged to.<br><br>I once found a lost (and drowned!) AT&T cell phone at a bus stop.  It was non-functional, but I turned it into AT&T and they were able to determine by serial number (or SIM number), whos phone it was.<br><br>This kid found the cell phone, immediately determined who it belonged to, and turned it into the police. He shoud have been thanked for his diligence and honesty, not arrested. Apparently it was a slow day at the precinct and someone needed to up their quota numbers.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joseph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 15th 2009 5:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
