25. I know a young woman who has no visible income either ...

... because she can't find a job and her parents support her. She has not done anything criminal - but let's just say she gets picked up because someone who robbed a convenience store looks like her. So she should have no rights because she has no verifiable source of income and "someone else is paying the bills?" Eh? What sort of crazy is that?

So I guess by logical extension the more "verifiable income" one has the more rights one should have? And the less, the less?

Totally amazing what authoritarianism creeps around these days and tries to present itself as "reasonable."
