So, if we are all perfect, life is fine? If not, even paying back society (court system and layers) for one's prior error(s) according to written law, and doing time, if sentenced, gives the cops a free pass to do as they please whether they have the right suspect or not?

At no point on this thread have I so mich as suggested that the police be given a free pass: in point of fact, I affirmed that they should pay for what they did.

If you're thinking that's OK, you ought to move to the ME, China, or Russia.

I was simply pointing out a fact that should be obvious to the most clueless of citizens: if you are wise enough to never get yourself involved the criminal justice system, then the chances of being picked up on someone else's warrant is greatly diminished.

I wasn't implying a personal attack to you. I agree with your take on 'even one arrest' as a-matter-of-fact with the LEO's. But, one thing I see all the time, that is, automatic searches of vehicles for pull-overs with a tail light out, tag light out, license check, (total BS)etc., and no other indicators for law violation other than the cop(s) 'gut feelings'.

And, our gov, wn't detain and deport illegals. I hope she and her legal counsel gets an out-of-court settlement totaling $150K or better. The cops screwed up on this and the younger metro cops have a 'holier-than-thou attitude most of the time.

Seriously, I was 'attacking' your statements, not you. Big Brother is getting bigger.
