Here’s the thing...if there’s a warrant for a guy...then you get up two cops and you serve warrants. If you don’t have enough cops...then you deputize some folks and they serve warrants. It’s stupid that you let a warrant sit there and a guy knows it exists....and he goes for weeks or months pretending that he’ll just sneak around the episode.
There’s no issue about the cop over-reacting, but all of this for a stupid potential warrant for lack-of-payment?
Two years ago, I recall some story out of Texas about some town and the number of outstanding warrants....they had like a thousand such warrants just sitting there and weren’t accomplishing anything with the current strategy.
You forget the car theft suspicion.
