In May 2012 federal court issued an order blocking the indefinite detention powers of the NDAA for American citizens (section 1021) on the grounds of unconstitutionality.[20] On August 6, 2012 federal prosecutors representing President Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals hoping to eliminate the ban.[21][22] The following day, arguments from both sides were heard by Judge Forrest during a hearing to make her injunction permanent.[23]
oddly enough, if it comes to light that american interests are indeed using these groups as proxys, and it's definitely looking that way in light of lybia and syria, this allows legal jusitification for civil war
scary huh?
something similiar went through in canada about "citizen arrests"
so, in an extremely abstract way, we are allowed to arrest police officers
