I think there are two sides to this.  First, the police are naturally going to try to expand the scope of their power so they can protect society.  I'm sure if we looked at any slice of history, we'd find law enforcement arguing that its authority be wider than what the public at large might think.  In general, this has led to safer communities, especially in areas where crime is higher.  Of course, this lead to the second side – police power comes at the expense of the rights of citizens, especially innocent citizens who are caught up in investigations through overreach or through abuse of power.  I view state vs. citizen rights in regard to crime something like a pendulum; in times of greater need, it shifts toward the needs of the state, but in times of greater peace and prosperity it shifts toward the citizens.I don't think it's new that the police see constitutional rights as a hindrance rather than legitimate protections.  What might be new, however, is the exponential leap in technology which creates the potential for greater police reach than ever before.  Also, there's the ongoing attempt by the state to justify its reach due to terrorism post-9/11 which has reduced citizen rights compared to pre-9/11.

Is this the one? Weeping Parisian from NARA Ww2-81 [Public domain], by Office for Emergency Management. Office of War Information. Overseas Operations Branch. New York Office. News and Features Bureau. (12/17/1942 – 09/15/1945), from Wikimedia CommonsHere's the caption (my emphasis in bold):

French people bid troops of the French Army goodbye as they leave metropolitan France at Marseille harbour, 1941, to reach the French colonies in Africa to be organized as Free French Forces. Incorrectly captioned by NARA as “A Frenchman weeps as German soldiers march into the French capital, Paris, on June 14, 1940, after the Allied armies had been driven back across France.”

Hey Ski,  here is another idea.  Contact the AMU librarian with the citation data for the article you need.  They can usually get it for you.  The librarians there are great and if they don't have it they can get it.  I abused the heck out of them while doing my thesis, so much that I was on a first name basis with one of them.  They get some amazing stuff.  They managed to get me digital copies of newspapers rom Berlin, Vienna, and London for specific days in 1866.  I guarantee they can get you a 30 year old journal article.

I second this.  I just remembered seeing that AMU offers interlibrary loan, and I know that you can request journal articles that way.  In fact, it would probably be done pretty quickly, and they'll likely send it in electronic form.  It's really easy to do.

Are you sure?  After doing some searching, I finally found the portal to AMU's journal database.  Unfortunately, it doesn't list the names of the journals in public, but it does say that it gives access to some 53,000 journals.  The article you're looking for has been cited many times, so it may be important enough that you can access it via AMU.http://www.apus.edu/community-scholars/librarians/

Yes, I can tell that the person who writes the history articles on that site knows about or has done at least some historical research.

Thanks!  Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.  On a flight now to Pennsylvania where we'll be enjoying turkey with family.

Yes, I believe you are sort of right.  I know there was a settlement at Tell es Sultan in Jericho which dates to 8000 B.C., but I'm not sure if any of the earliest structures are still standing (there is a standing tower there which dates to 7500 B.C.).  A house that is 10,000 years old puts it on the border of the Mesolithic Era when the ice may have still been melting and people still nomadic, so it would be hard to build a permanent structure too early.  The oldest known “temporary” house that I know of was one dating to about 16,0000-10,000 B.C. in the Ukraine, made out of mammoth bones.
