Yeah.

Its the police officers job to enforce the law. If youre unhappy with a particular law or you feel as though there should be carve outs for specific elements then write your congressman a letter or vote for people that share your ideals.


The law applies to everybody but the law is also meant to be applied by human beings.

That's why there is such a thing as prosecutorial discretion.

This is an example of a situation where the prosecutor should use his discretion not to press charges.

Another example would be a man who beats up someone who raped his daughter. It's technically illegal and he will probably get arrested. But the prosecutor should really consider using his discretion depending on the circumstances.


there was that one Olympic coach that a guy wanted 5 minutes with. kinda wish the guy got to him i doubt that coach would last that long (he got stopped by police officers and the attorney) then handcuffed.
