In a conversation last night, where my knowledge about the law was probably a couple years old, I almost hazarded a guess that, if new legislation had passed, it would favor perps’ rights over civilians’. One just doesn’t see interest from legislators in getting dangerous people out of the way of the good folks who are trying to peacefully go about their business.
Another example occurs with impaired drivers. According to an article in the Hendersonville Times-News, it is “not unusual” for people who have been repeatedly pulled over for driving intoxicated – even if people get injured while driving the speed limit, holding their lanes, and upholding all the laws of the road – to get to drive around a couple more years before possibly getting some kind of restriction on their license.
Now, it’s time to pick your punch line. There are no wrong answers, because they’re all true.
- Not that that would change anything.
- Anyhoo, cases chilling for over two years get thrown out lest the state violate its statute of limitations for speedy trials.
- I believe the practice of turning citizens into targets for criminals is known as “building cases.”
- The state could appropriate funds for a multimillion-dollar crime lab in the western part of the state.
- Hospital phlebotomists cannot help because they are too busy complying with this, that, and the other thing; and adding another special class of clientele, who obviously have a different kind of blood, would increase the load of this, that, and the other thing.
