Agree with the enemy

As previosly mentioned (somewhere) . . . I find life odd when I actually agree with someone I find on the other side of the fence. I found myself agreeing on some points with Alan Dershowitz and he agreeing with me.

The funny part is that I nomrally do not like this guy and he usully makes my skin crawl. So you could knock me out of the recliner when he said that the Row V. Wade was not a good decision.

Why? because it took the right away from the states where it should be.

This amazes me. However, I am glad there is some sanity in the legal system.

Have a happy day.

Ticket For Cops

The next time you are sitting in your car with an cop walking up behind you pulling out a ticket booklet and a stash of ink pens, think of this:

In Dallas, TX an on duty police officer who is caught on video running a red light will have ot pay for the ticket. Now many officers are complaining that this cop has to pay a $75 fine for running the light. According to the Dallas Daily News: "Many police officers are angry about the proposed policy. The prevailing belief among officers has been that they can run red lights as they see fit."

Am I missing something. Is there not something about being fair. Should a police officer be allowed to run a light in the normal business. I understand that they can and should run through when there is an emergency.

I love this line: "He said many police officers view the new policy as yet another thing they have to worry about."

One more thing . . . like the rest of us? You mean like everyone has to worry about? Did I miss something about a government that is, "of the people, by the people, for the people."

Of the people. It is the people of the United States who form the government and the rules. There is no nobles or a king making rules.

By the people. The government is run by the people, again not a king.

For the people. The people are given protection by the consent of governed.

So should a police officer is just a person be allowed to violate the law because of who they are.

The answer is simple. no.

The police officer must be fined just as any other person.
