You obviously haven’t spent as much time around felons as I have. Prisoners will manipulate to get whatever they think they can get, right or wrong. Now when they present their facts and courts rule in their favor I usually don’t have a problem. But often enough you get a bleeding heart liberal progressive do-gooder judge who sees cops as baboons and prisoners as misunderstood and downtrodden. Said judge then proceeds to give prisoners the moon, stars and the sun to “make it right” and then imposes onerous (and dangerous) rules on cops and prison officers alike. It is specifically this subset that I have an issue with. Prisoners should have rights. But if those rights impair the states legal obligation to maintain security, order and rehabilitation, then those rights must be limited or curtailed. And in this case the “make my day” law should be inapplicable because it impairs the states requirements for security and order.

It sounds like you have a problem with a gate keeper.
Don’t blame the rules of gates for the gate keepers.
And your argument is “look at the practical headache, to hell with a principle.”
That is suspicious on its face.
