Eureka Times-Standard ARCATA -- In what some are calling the city's act of civil disobedience, the City Council introduced an ordinance Wednesday that opposes the USA Patriot Act and related laws while attempting to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
The law states that no city management employee will allow unlawful detentions or profiling based on race, ethnicity, national origin, political or religious affiliation, gender or sexual preference.
"No city management employee shall officially assist or voluntarily cooperate with investigations, interrogations, or arrest procedures, public or clandestine, that are in violation of individual's civil rights or civil liberties as specified in the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
