New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said after the disaster that officers didn't have to worry about Civil or Miranda rights when dealing with the looters. Ideas like this cause concern with regular citizens: what happens if you're not a looter? There's a mini-documentary called Code Red: Martial Law from YouTube which features news clips from the 2005 New Orleans Martial Law experiment. Here's a snippet from that documentary:
Think that's bizarre? Well check out this news report from a local Louisiana station that appeared online a couple weeks ago. Romans 13 is apparently also an important tool during Martial Law.
The War on Terror is many things. The description Youtube description of Red Code points out a few.
No Habeas Corpus - Relief from Unlawful detention - Since 1789 - Abolished 2006.
No Posse Comitatus - Prohibits Military to act as local law enforcement - Since 1878 - Abolished 2006.

17. First post i ever wrote that I actually do not vare WTF the direct meaning of latin words are, what the Constitution says re: Mrtial Law because these wre human beings that lost EVERYTHING!
GO HOME, may you experience the loss of your home, pets, all possessions and all you worked your entire life and have the military, guns drawn physically remove you. I see empathy is not your strong suit, hatemonger. Elderly folk, handicapped folk. How did you expect them to evacuate? All they asked for were their dogs or cats, they are their kids, that is the reason they receive love because no one else will visit or tend to them. Persons of your ilk that blame the victim should be a defense lawyer. Horrid, horrid person. you disgust me. So, selfish and self-centered. I most certainly am assured you do not have children and if you do they will grow to find you as despicable as everyone else.
