It’s much harder to condemn a politically motivated non-prosecution than it is to condemn a politically motivated prosecution.
One of these is inherently far worse.
- belltaco 8y agoBut if it was politically motivated non-prosecution, that implies that prosecution would be the status quo, and not politically motivated. Lets say your friend works at the police anti-speeding camera department and reviews footage to issue tickets via mail. He recognizes your plates and does not issue a ticket although you did speed and violated the law, and he gives out tickets to others for the same offenses. He leaves the job and the new guy comes, reviews the old footage, and notices the missed ticket, and issues you a ticket. Are you saying the second guy committed a biased issuance of a ticket? And that's necessarily a bad thing compared to your friend letting you go?

Depends entirely on if that person was auditing random (or all) footage or specifically looked up plates of people he doesn't like.
