There are people that think that police and the courts are justice machines but that's just ludicrous.

The law is written in such a way that each and every one of us break a couple of dozen laws every single day. It is, in fact, a common law student practice to have students look up everything that they did in a day and see how many laws/ordinances they broke. The average is something like thirty laws in a single day.

We ALL break laws. All the time. Many times we don't even know we're doing it. There are portions of the Manitoba Highway Traffic Act where the ONLY way you can avoid breaking the law is if your car can fly. Those situations are rare, but they exist.

Police and the courts are expected to use judgement in the enforcement of the law. If they acted every time a law was broken we'd need hundreds of times as many judges, attorneys, administrators and the like and the entire system would come crashing down through overburden.

This cop was stupid and endangered someone's life over a TRAFFIC OFFENSE. And not a dangerous one either. He clearly has no ability to utilize judgement in his job and is unsuitable for it. The very fact that the woman was admitted to hospital should have been enough but even if she hadn't been, strokes are something you don't screw around with. Better to run a stop light or two than have your new wife die on you.

The guy's a moron and should be both canned and fined. He's a danger to the public. Plain and simple.
