If that is how US police works then I can assure you it kind of make sense why you have people hating them.
Thats some Animal Farm. Can someone that knows US law confirm this?
What I mean is that the exceptions should be written in the law and there should absolutely not be a case where you cherrypick.
- bagels 3y agoI'm sure police everywhere have discretion (whether enshrined in law or not) over who to charge. Where do you live that you think police exercise no discretion at all? Prosecutors also have discretion in who to prosecute. Courts also make decisions on guilt. The police generally have immunity from prosecution (forms extremely dangerous outcomes) and are not obligated by law to do their jobs.
- danielscrubs 3y agoI can tell you we have rules that supersede for ambulance drivers and such. We have had many cases where a thief have been caught by the store owner and the store owner is the one going to jail for entrapment.
- bagels 3y agoWhere? Again, I highly doubt that the police there don't ever exercise any discretion in at least some situations.
