One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
There is no legally protecting yourself from the prerogative state, i.e. whatever the dictator wants. We have to follow rules. They don’t.
When they no longer have to follow the rules, the rules no longer matter. Violation of the social contract to that degree renders it null and void.
Well, the police have qualified immunity and the president is immune to all law suits according to SCOTUS.
I’d say that the social contract has already been broken. Not to mention the blatant unequal application of the law according to your wealth.
