So my gf is in texas and she heard on the news that pigs are going to start suing gang members even if they are just hanging around on a street corner not doing anything. They are going to do that in Frisko too! What is your responce to that? But my question is can they really do that? If they are not doing anything, isn't that like harrassment? Or racial profiling or something?

And belive me, this will NOT stop violence! Gang members will still go out ( not loitering ) and do what they do. What they should do is kick all these little scraps out of northern cali! Thats what the **** they should do!! This reminds me od the movie " Colors " Hahaha when they lock up all the crips and bloods.. And another thing, if they do the prisions will be more dangerous with hella more gang members!

I just looked up and read the article your girlfriend read and yes they can and are doing this.
But it's not quite as you describe. They are getting injunctions to enforce loitering laws, gun possession laws and drug laws. So what they are doing is completely legal and it's about time.

They can do it and they are. They just need a reason. Loitering is considered a reason in many parts of the country so perhaps they should think about hanging around somewhere other than on street corners.

OK, It cannot bke possibkly leagal to sue a member of a so called "gang" unless they are breaking a law in public and it wont be racial profiling because i live in texas also and there are plenty white,asian,blacc,hispanic,and other races that claim gangs.A gang is pretty much a clique now a days because there is nore more gang violence that much.Gang bangers are now woried bout their staccs so their r tryn 2 hustle up a lil money soin wut they kno how to do,rap,play sum sport,or slangin drugz,a gang banger isnt a bad person,jus a person lookin to be accepted by a group.
HOPE THIS HELPED

Racial profiling? You are assuming that all gang members are minorities? Not true.
And depending on what the local laws are, it might well be legal for them to do that.

why are gangs loitering out on the streets any way.to case the area, to intimidate people, to try to say they own that area.I hope they start doing that where I live soon!!That is suing them of course,what ever it takes to stop the violence.

You're known by the company you keep. I think I read that in an Aesop's Fable.
Stop hanging out with people who like to associate themselves with organizations that are known for crime, and you won't have this problem.

They should line up the little punks and shoot them.
No, it isn't profiling, it's getting rid of sh*t.
