How about taking her home?
It might make sense for some of you to spend some time observing courts, prosecutors, and police -- and then noting the difference between what actually happens and how it shows up in the news.
It's not just "rouge" police, it's "rouge" reporters and "rouge" lawyers. There's nothing a cop can do to keep a judge from releasing someoneon his own recognizance. And I bet the same people trashing the "rouge" cops in this thread would be just as angry if they read that they "forced" the woman into the back of the cruiser and took her home against her will.
And that's what makes the whole thing look bogus. Most of you all aren't interested in the facts or in the whole truth, you're just looking for a chance to vent your anger against cops. Whatever floats your boat.
Many officers will do that.
About 10 years ago my car broke down at night and while I was waiting for AAA a cop pulled up. He waited with me until the tow truck guy came. He didn't have to and it was nice that he did. I guess "protect and serve" meant something to him.
I wasn’t aware the local cops ran a taxi service.
