IS IT JUSTIFIED ARRESTING SOMEONE WHO BREAKS THE LAW? [+] serious ballot by Kev24 ACTIVE Wed Aug 01, 07 - Sat Aug 04, 07 i got this ballot idea from seon's ballot. the couple in question were actually not arrested for flying the flag upside down -- they were arrested for assualting the police officer and resisting arrest. the couple in question were flying their flag upside down and had notes pinned to it. resident's complained and the police investigated. upon verifying that they were in fact desecrating the flag, a citation was going to be issued. that's it. but, once the couple assaulted the officer and he attempted to arrest them, they resisted -- hence how the resisting arrest charge would come into play. what concerns me is a couple of things here. one is how news stories can be altered or how wrong information is given and people go off thinking they know the truth when they really don't. second is the law. there are quite a few people who think being arrested is some kind of violation of rights. it's not unless the arrest is unlawful. people forget that being arrested does not equate to guilt. police enforce the laws, they do not make them or determine the guilt or innocence. a judge and/or jury does. so people need to keep that in mind. everyone freaks out when they read stories like that, as if the police arresting this couple were some kind of nazi storm troopers. hardly. worry more what the courts do, not the police. so the question is, do you think it is justified to arrest someone for breaking the law, or should the police randomly make exceptions and basically operate with no boundaries at all? it is right to arrest someone who breaks the law no, the police should be unpredictable and make decisions on the fly Ballot #116611 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
