go check out exactly how many lawsuits your local county hospital has had to defend in the last year....they sure as heck DO get sued.
I'm sorry, but I simply don't find this woman attractive - she reminds me of that thin-faced actress on 24, Jack Bauer's love interest.
I have to agree with Ivan on this one, maybe you mixed up laissez-faire and l'affaire
I am so upset by this travesty, I think I am going to sue the Orlando PD myself! Know any cheap Lawyers?
I married late, @ 39yrs and during 20+ years of dating I learned to rely on my internal BS Meter to alert me to whacked women and rarely wasted much time or energy with these types. This guy obviously ignored obvious problems with this witch.
Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News."
Hmm, makes me wonder if the Islamic rule that two women witnesses equal one man in the court is so bad. It would be hard for her to share her dream with other lady. :)
How would this work? I come into lineup and am assigned to the team to pick up so-and-so. All I know is that there is a warrant. So we go pick him up. We get sued individually? Should we sue the magistrate who issued the warrant?
So the PD, prompted by the courts, changes procedure and requires corroborating evidence on every abuse charge. The new maxim is: "No witness means no probably cause, so no charge." Then a bunch of women are killed by abusers and, guess what, it's the fault of the police!
As to "lazy detectives", sure, I suppose there are some. It might be interesting to compare the amount of money spent on various social services and transfer payments with the amount of money spent on law enforcement, on LE personnel and training. How many detectives do jurisdictions pay for per number of reported crimes and what sort of technical and other support are they getting?
In the county where I live a staff of 22 is dealing with something over a hundred outstanding warrants. That's in addition to normal daily duties.
I think that communities are trying to do policing on the cheap and are often getting what they pay for.
I guess something like that is in French system. (Also legal costs are paid by the false accuser or taxpayers if the accuser is not solvent).
Accusing someone of stealing a candy is less serious than accusing of robbing a bank.
That being said I see the makings here for an interesting episode of Law & Order SVU (where story ideas are "ripped" from the headlines) but with decidedly different atypical SVU ending and will be a "two-parter".
The following occurs in part two after the FUBAR arrest of the innocent BF and his successful lawsuit against the SVU cops which results in their wages being garnished:
Yep, good story line, its a winner.
Wait... that'd kill the show?!? Oh well I'm sick of the reruns anyway :-)
Maybe this is how they date in Norway.
See my comment about Islamic justice.
I with you there. Most (but not all) of the people I knew who majored in Psychology in college were looking for answers to their own problems. Once they graduate, they get work in the mental health/social work field and are still messed up. They're the ones accusing parents of abuse for giving their 5 year old a spank...
You mean like Chief Wiggum?
The strange thing is he had absolute proof he was somewhere else and should not have even been arrested. The truth eventually came out and he was exonerated, but the whole affair was scary as all get out.
I also personally know of a guy who was head of a Federal Law Enforcement Agency, in a medium sized city, and a deacon in the church. He was arrested and charged with rape based solely on a womans seeing him and telling the cops he was the man. He also had an ironclad alibi and the cops did do their job in this case and caught the right one who didn' even look like him. He had the arrest completely removed from the records but the average guy would have gone through life with that arrest report still on their record.
Women trump men in every way when it comes to the law. Divorce one and see who gets the alimony and the kids. Believe me the last thing women want is equality in the courts. This woman is up on charges of perjury. Thats a joke. she might get 6 months. She deserves 10 years in prison.
What about the clinic where she was treated and then worked? Talk about the patients running the asylum... but it seems like they should have some responsibility, too. Don't counselors have an obligation to report information if their patient is going to commit a crime? In this case, every day those men sat in jail based on her story was a crime.... I would think there was some responsibility on her counselors. I believe patient confidentiality yields if there is threat to someone else. In this case, seems worthwhile to see what obligation, if any, her counselor(s) had.....
Hastings. Well, but you must allow her a little beauty.--Yes, you must allow her some beauty.
Tony. Bandbox! She's all a made-up thing, mun.

I agree with you. I think the courts are filled with judges and prosecutors whose parents divorced in the 50's and 60's, where women often were abandoned and got little in return. Now, the pendulum has swung too far the other way. No fault divorce laws haven't helped either..
