The police must follow all the same laws that we do. Giving any kind of immunity enables officers to be "above the law". If an officer gets accused of rights violations it should be settled in court, not dismissed out of hand.
- selectodude 4y agoPretty sure if you handcuffed somebody without their consent, regardless of what they were doing, you’d have to answer for it in court. Cops are above the law. They are the violence arm of the local government.
- mywittyname 4y agoThey aren't acting above the law, but within it. They are legally allowed to detain people in certain situations. It's perfectly fair for the law to allow certain groups to do something that's illegal for other groups to do. For example, illegal for people not sanctioned by the government to drive on public roads.
