They refused the "accused" the ability to call a lawyer or or his parents (according to the story the child was 16). Whether or not they knew the specifics behind the warrant itself, this speak volumes. (And no - if you check my posting history I am not in the knee-jerk "cops always wrong" camp).
OK, we might be making progress here. WHO is THEY? The prosecutors. Under their orders.
It is so indicative that when ever an article about the police on this board, that the cop-hating Libertarians come crawling from under their rocks to post drivel about how oppressed they are in a police state.
None of this BS is worth trying to convince this group that they need to look at the Nifong-esque prosecutors that are driving these situations.
Just not worth my time. So I am done with it. For those of you who want to flame me, go play in traffic. When you get hit, don't call the cops.
