“She was tasered for not following instructions,.... not buying IPhones. When you resist the cops, you get the cops. This is what they are for. If you are in my store and I want you to leave and you don’t, the cops will remove you.”
The question I have is, the article seemed to indicate that she had already paid for the iphone online, was she given the property she paid for? If not what is the procedure for obtaining that which you rightfully own?
“This is a principle that used to be respected, but today, everyone seems to have some sort of law degree that disagrees with that. Don’t argue with cops, argue with the judge in court. The cop will hurt you and he can’t judge the case on the spot.”
This I think is a bit unfortunate, I think there are many cases particular in the small towns where the on seen police officer should be able to make a judgement on the spot. Most crimes are generally obvious(Even if this one wasn’t), if the officer is wrong than you can still fall back on a trial with judge or jury. But given the great costs of a trail, we should desire to avoid that as much as possible.
Police officers should not be “dumb” force, they should have minds & judgement of their own to help resolve simple & obvious cases out of court.
“She should have just bought Samsung or went to another store with a straw buyer. Don’t resist arrest.”
Not being a Mac fan I can agree with that. ;)
Perhaps she grew up as the daughter of some Party official and thought cops were servants whose orders did not apply to her?
