Another aspect of this case that amazes me:

It must be nice to be a non-citizen so that you can pick and choose which laws you accept and which you don't.

They don't believe they have to have driver's licenses, real insurance, real identification--because they don't believe they are citizens. Okay. They don't believe they have to pay taxes? Vote? Help fellow conservatives fight for lowering taxes for everybody? Okay. They reject all that. I have a strong feeling that they don't deserve to live in this country if they won't be part of the system, but I will stipulate that a case can be made for his beliefs. They're far more suited to a frontier society than to a society of 200 million and modern, shared infrastructure, of course. But okay, he wants no part of our system. He is an anarchist, a non-participant.

But they sure want to use our court system to get justice on somebody else. Who is paying for the rape trial?

American taxpayers.

Who is going to pay for the lawsuits that are about to happen with respect to this policeman's reasonable belief that she was breaking laws and risking her kid's life? We are. And it's clear that they set out wanting to tangle with the law. If she had really wanted to get to her destination more than she had wanted to "make this point"--she wouldn't have been breastfeeding while driving, or doing anything else that might attract attention (and delay.) SO they are LYING about that.

She was supposedly on the way to collect a witness against a rapist--where did they hope to try that rapist? In an American criminal court, of course. If they really believe they are outside the law, why didn't the husband shoot the rapist dead through the head? There would have been many, many who would have defended him for that...and depending on how he did it, the law might have looked the other way too.

I am not saying she deserved to be raped--no, not at all. I just note it's mighty convenient to repudiate, even attack, all parts of our system except the parts that are useful to them.
