But you can get pulled over for going 1 mile over. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 21/06/2010 05:59:51 PM
...while they dealt with the husband. The fact is that the man broke the law.



Just like you don't automatically get pulled over if you go 1 mile an hour over the speed limit, there's such a thing as judgment.


Because you've broken the law. Whether consequences will be pursued or not and to what degree are where the judgement comes in, not whether the law was broken.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

he clearly wasn't just "making up an excuse" though. - 21/06/2010 10:59:13 AM 1224 Views
unfortunately the law is on the officer's side, no matter whether he acted correctly - 21/06/2010 07:09:13 AM 1016 Views
well this is,really, a drastically different situation - 21/06/2010 08:11:39 AM 1068 Views
the point is, the officer is not required to show compassion, only enforce the law - 21/06/2010 11:53:51 PM 935 Views
no. a officer is NOT only required to hold up the law. - 22/06/2010 12:28:05 AM 941 Views

except in this case (you seem to be ignoring this) - 22/06/2010 01:35:21 AM 1009 Views
At the very least the officer should have let medical personnel take the woman in for treatment - 21/06/2010 02:56:30 PM 982 Views
But... - 21/06/2010 04:58:06 PM 1091 Views
"The fact is that the man broke the law" is nonsense. That's what judgment is for. - 21/06/2010 05:30:26 PM 1042 Views

This is ridiculous - 22/06/2010 03:18:03 AM 1104 Views
How exactly did I justify anything? Perhaps you missed the subject of my post. - 22/06/2010 02:28:21 PM 1038 Views
I'm saying the fact that the law was broken is totally irrelevent, - 23/06/2010 02:15:56 AM 1097 Views
How can it be even slightly irrelevant, let alone "totally" so? - 25/06/2010 03:24:19 PM 969 Views
It is sad when idiocy and a lack of judgment becomes codified into law backed with enforcement power - 21/06/2010 09:56:32 PM 1575 Views
i don't even know if I'd be happy with a lawsuit - 22/06/2010 12:31:18 AM 980 Views
