Police remove hijab from muslim woman while in police custody

[Deleted]

It's not necessary for her to wear in jail, and she could hide things in it. Might sound dumb, but police should be nitpicky.

May as well request people be naked, and their butts explored when detained, just in case.

So what? There's more to a person than just a head too.

most of our identifying features are on the head...

Law > religion.

Absolutely. Religious rights end when other peoples rights and common sense starts. If it interferes with cops doing their jobs or security in general, it needs to go.

[Gutpile]

Just imagine the uproar had she hanged herself with said headscarf...

"Why didn't they remove it from her while in jail?!"

There's no winning against these people...

Exactly....

Hurr durrr, ok.

So, are you whining that I debunked your claim or that you cannot back your bullshit claim up?

[Jinpachi]

The law. Why is this even a thread?

[StayTuned]

This world sucks for many reasons. The special treatment of religion before law is one of them.

The problem is that everyone can start a religion today. You can do it right now. One guy managed to keep a pot on his head for his ID picture because his religion demands it. His very own religion that only he is a member of.

State and religion need to be separated completely. All religions rules and "benefits" should be void in front of law enforcement.

They're in the face, indeed.
A nipple gives more information than any other head-feature not in the face (like an ear). If you need anything other than the face... first you're highly incompetent and should not be in the id business; and second, you should start requesting people show their breasts.

Are you sure you aren't talking about a burqa? You should be able to completely identify someone wearing a headscarf.

Contraband could be hidden in it. They didn't get it wrong, they were talking about the hijab

Don't be ridiculous.

[Glorious Leader]

Every single one of you saying "the law wins" needs to take a step back and recognize that freedom of religion and the protections that derive from it are also the law. It's the law that showed that the officers were in the wrong and that she deserved the settlement.

Thats fine but having a law that guarantees freedom of religion does not place her above the law.

More dumb fantasies. Lulz.

I'm being /less/ ridiculous than you. That's the point.

Wearing a hijab by choice does not infringe other people's rights and freedoms. Don't talk commons sense if you don't understand it.

It interferes with the cops to identify the person, maybe you should look in the mirror. Common sense says no one should be able to keep stuff like this on for any reason cause if you allow that, why not allow people to keep on stockings or ski masks? It's just BS.

Religion should have no special treatment in any civilized country.

Religion is a 100% optional activity in first world countries that by law people can choose to participate in - or not.

Nothing, absolutely nothing about a religion or church warrants it being above the law or free of taxes.

It is just something some people willingly do because of whatever personal reasons, like taking up knitting or pottery.

Going just by those criteria then any optional activity should enjoy the same privileges, like football clubs and book clubs...

You said they were forced to close because they didn't bake a cake for a lesbian couple. And I said they were not, and they weren't. They were forced closed because the $135k fine they couldn't pay for after doxxing the lesbian couple. Which in turn started a harassment campaign from the bakery's Facebook followers. If you can't get that through your head, that is on you, not me.

Ok, princess. There there, it'll be ok.

Sit the fuck down.

Man, you really hate losing. Go sit in your safe space for a while.
