So, you've got a turf driven gang war in your neighborhood, are you going to run out there hollering "citizens arrest!"
You've got two guys who just knocked over a bank and are now screaming down the highway at 100+, are you going to hop in your personal car and go get 'em? citizens arrest!
You got some guy barricaded in a 7-11 with a hostage, he says you 'aint gonna take him alive, are you going to run in there with "citizens arrest!"
The truth is, most people are not prepared to deal with situations like these at the drop of a hat. Think about it realistically. You got a drunk driver going the wrong way on the interstate, OK soccer mom/dad, turn off Dancing with the Stars, leave your family, hop in the minivan and go stop this guy. Right now. Go. Now. and be sure to tell him he's under citizens arrest! as he's coming right at you. yeah, that'll work...
You have illustrated the entire negative attitude that most people in America have about "law enforcement" - People generally think that a police officer is "upholding the law
. They are not. The law states that most "cops" are wrong
I don't watch "Dancing with the "Star's." - let alone television.
I don't drive - I use my own feet or pubkic transportation to get around - if you drive a minivan - then just admit it - what are you afraid of - contributing to "global warming"?
Thats the problem. I will offer a penalty suggestion for disrespect.....confiscation of drivers license for 3 years at the discretion of the officer with an explanation.
If there is no drivers license....removal from any educational institution for 6 months with heavy labor at the discretion of city garbage removal and sorting facilities management..... without compensation save a baloney sandwich less any toppings, or milk.
Stargazzer suggests the First Amendment be repealed so that we can more effectively subjugate ourselves to the state.
All of your posts are about cops. Is there something you want to tell us? Follow the law and you will never meet a cop.
Cops ARE the law. If they tell you something, you do it. If you think the cop is wrong, you follow his orders and then let the judge make the decision. They are sworn officers, they have the power, you follow the rules.
Donn2390, you are the reason prisons are home to law abiding individuals who couldn't prove their innocence. It really is nauseating to read your pro-cop boot licking.
A lot of cops nowadays think they have the right to do anything they want... And they usually get away with it.
They know what they are doing IS WRONG which is why they hate being recorded!
