I don’t doubt that a ruling was made as you describe. I would be highly suspect of the circumstances to which his ruling was intended to apply. Public servants absolutely have a duty to the public who employ them (through the taxes they pay), though in this upside down world, it often seems that the public servants believe its the other way around.
Nope, they don’t. It’s not just one opinion either. There have been a number of rulings over decades. The Court basically says that police have a general duty to society at large, but there is no duty owed any individual. In other words, if you call the police because someone is breaking in your home, you had better grab that .44 because they have no legal obligation to try to protect you.
Court case was i believe Warren vs. District of Columbia.
You would be wrong. “no duty to protect.”. Supreme Court. The poster who said “chalk outlines and fill out reports” was INDEED correct.
It was made in the 1970’s if I remember correctly and the poster is correct. The government is not obligated to protect you. In most cases law enforcement will arrive when called but if they don’t as I said you are on your own, plan accordingly.
