Are you a JBT or do you have what it takes? Take this simple quiz and find out if you are ready for jackboots. Answer yes or no.

Answers in RED.

1. Do you believe certain Americans are less deserving of rights?

No. All Americans, even suspected criminals have the same rights as any American.

2. Do you ever have to work outside the letter of the law to get things done?

No. As police officers enforce the law, they must work within the confines of the law.

3. Are law enforcement officers, by virtue of their position, sometimes above ordinary Americans?

No. Just as representatives of Congress were suppossed to be ordinary Americans who do a service, so are LE officers. They perform a public service and are no different than firemen or paramedics.

4. Do law enforcement officers deserve special consideration of privledges?

No. Just as those who seek political power are generally unsuitable for that reason alone, the same can be said of those who seek LE positions for similar reasons.

5. If you KNOW somebody is guilty, is it ok to lie or break the law, to help convict them of a major crime?

No. Police officers may not violate and enforce laws. Some may feel it is "public service" to convict by any means serious threats to the community but that is an abuse of position.

6. If you KNOW somebody is guilty, is it ok to lie or break the law, to help convict them of a minor crime?

No. Police officers may not violate and enforce laws.

7. Is it in any way part of your job to punish criminals?

No. Police officers are not judges or presecutors.

8. If somebody has broken no laws, are they still subject to your authority?

Yes. The public gives police officers the necessary authority to enforce law and ensure public safety.

9. Are police officers who break the law the same as other criminals?

Yes. Criminals are criminals.

10. If you were a prohibition officer, would you have arrested people for possession of alcohol?

Yes. They enforce the law, they cannot interpret the law. This is why you don't want "bad laws."

SCORING: No combination of right or wrong answers automatically makes somebody a JBT or not. Obviously if you disagree with all of the above it is a warning sign. But the mere fact that you are willing to investigate your views and evaluate them means you are probably not going to be a JBT.

The real JBTs won't question their views or allow them to be scrutinized by others.

Answers in RED.

1. Do you believe certain Americans are less deserving of rights?

Yes, those in custody obviously have limited rights, and they shouldn't be allowed to sue to get a better breakfast cereal while they're in prison.  Also, those convicted of violent felonies should have their firearms rights limited if not revoked.

2. Do you ever have to work outside the letter of the law to get things done?

No, as police officers enforce the law, they must work within the confines of the law.

3. Are law enforcement officers, by virtue of their position, sometimes above ordinary Americans?

Above, no.  Are we often held to a higher standard, yes.  Consider "Mayor" Marion Berry.  He used cocaine and was ousted from office.  Then later, he was re-elected.  Once a cop has used, he's done for life.

4. Do law enforcement officers deserve special consideration of privledges?

Yes, risking one's life throughout their career should entitle them to a retirement CCW, not that I'm against all people having CCWs.

5. If you KNOW somebody is guilty, is it ok to lie or break the law, to help convict them of a major crime?

No, we'll get them next time.

6. If you KNOW somebody is guilty, is it ok to lie or break the law, to help convict them of a minor crime?

No, we'll get them next time.

7. Is it in any way part of your job to punish criminals?

No, but if they fail to submit to arrest, they might get hurt.  Don't confuse that with punishment.

8. If somebody has broken no laws, are they still subject to your authority?

Yes. The public gives police officers the necessary authority to enforce law and ensure public safety.

9. Are police officers who break the law the same as other criminals?

No, they often are treated much more harshly.  Ever seen the average Joe Blow be found not guilty in state court, and then have federal civil rights charges filed against them?

10. If you were a prohibition officer, would you have arrested people for possession of alcohol?

Yes. They enforce the law, they cannot interpret the law. This is why you don't want "bad laws."

Well, this is the world according to me.

In situations where the LAW has revoked a persons rights you are correct. However that is a process of law and not your opinion and you don't make such decisions. That is why I didn't address those cases where a person has had their civil rights limited by the law.

But I suspect that I know your answer to the original question as it was intended based upon your other answers.

ETA: And let me add that illegal aliens should have virtually no rights.  I don't mean that we can beat their asses, just that they should have no protection under our laws regarding deportation delays, etc.
