What the cop did was wrong, but at the same time after viewing the clip I am also under the belief that what the person did was also wrong.


I agree with you 100%. My point is that an officer of the law should know under what statue he will charge you with.

Most Americans have access to public schools, libraries, and the internet. You don't need to have lived in Russia to understand the absurdity of saying the United States has become the USSR or Nazi Germany. You don't even have to have lived during the 50s to criticize the hysteria that had a nation accusing people of being communists, destroying their reputations and costing them their jobs. If you had asked me in August 2001 about that period of time, I would have told you how grateful I am to be living today, knowing that the US has moved beyond that kind of fear and ignorance.


I have no problems with what you wrote. Most is dead on. As to the above, what you say is very true. People have access to research material. However, then we have to analyze one's ability to interpret and understand what they are reading.

IMO, reading about it doesn't equate to living through it.

I can forgive an officer for not remembering why a certain law is in place. If push comes to shove they can always call in and ask. There are so many laws that it is almost impossible for us to expect they know everyone by heart.

After all, don't we all still ask questions at work?
