What part of 'cruel and unusual punishments shall not be inflicted' do you have trouble understanding, mate?
And who defines what cruel and unusual punishment is? The anti-authority whiner or the police-state advocate? To the strictist law-and-order type who wants to record your phone calls, this sentence might be fine. To the people who scream bloody murder about their rights being violated when a police officer looks in their direction, 1 day in jail is a horrid miscarraige of justice, and the judge should be hung (some miscreant actually suggested this in this thread).
BTW, post #155 is my take on this particular case. The judge acted within his powers and the couple has the opportunity to appeal. Also, I apologize if you respond and I do not answer until Monday or Tuesday, because I am out of here for the weekend. Have a good one.
