And then a *judge* has to look at what happens and apply the law. A cop is not entitled to "punish" anyone, breaking the law or not. FYI, did you know the law does not prohibit anything? It just states what are the penalties. It is not forbidden to kill a person. It's just that if you get caught you get so many years in prison. > Had they > done as requested, they may well have walked away with nothing more than > a warning or, at worst, a ticket.

If you were a gentleman you'd know you treat women as ladies not because they may deserve it or not, but because *you* deserve it. But I see there is no point explaining the finer details when I plainly see you don't even get the spirit of it. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
