> Dropping charges is not justice.
Agreed. This is one where qualified immunity needs to go. This is a rights violation all the way... against the kids civil rights and against the parents. Also, I'd love to listen to the 911 calls.
- user3939382 4y agoIt's not justice at all, the parents now have an arrest record. Hopefully they never have to fill out an application that asks about that (e.g. pistol license).
- noisy_boy 4y agoCan't they atleast push for expunging of the records? No charges were pressed; if the state wants to dispute that, they are opening the gate for a lawsuit.
- user3939382 4y agoPistol license applications explicitly state that you have to include expunged records. Also, what expunged actually means (or if it's available at all) depends on the state. If you wanted to work for the government, get certain clearances, etc it would also come up on background checks. So it's totally unfair that innocent people like this have it attached to their name.
- indymike 4y agoA) The arrest should have never, ever happened. There needs to be a line where police know they are not allowed to cross. This I'm immune from everything because I'm an agent of the government needs to go now. B) The arrest record needs to go away forever C) Arrest records should never be used by government to deny rights or services, only conviction records.
