A police officer stops a car with a known criminal at the wheel. The officer obtains consent to search that vehicle and finds nothing. Knowing that the driver is a convicted felon and has been selling drugs in one of the local neighborhoods the officer takes matters into his own hands. The officer knows the community will be a better place if the driver is off the street so he plants a small amount of drugs in the car that he subsequently, and very dramatically, finds. The driver, given his past record, is likely to be convicted and sent back to prison.
The officer has removed a dangerous criminal from the streets and thereby kept his oath to protect the community. Everybody wins right? The guy was selling drugs anyway he had just been able to evade arrest.

IIRC, the biblical punishment for bearing false witness was a death penalty.
You can not find any logical argument against what the hypothetical cop did, only principle (which I agree with, by the way). You cannot find any logical argument supporting healthcare, as written. I do not think “noble cause” describes this abomination in any way whatsoever.
BS scenario. Pure mental masturbation.
The LEO knows that time is on his side. The offender will repeat and be caught. Its just a matter of time.
One of the dumbest articles I have ever read. Falacious premise always leads to falacious conclusions. Such reasoning is more typical of the liberal side of the aisle. Hate it when a so called conservative does it.
IF you claim to be a conservative then I am going to assume you have some core principles you live by.
And some repeat offenders hang out right here on FR ;)
