In reply to the discussion: Just Because it's a Cute Deer w/ a Fluffy White Tail Doesn't Make it Okay to Break the Law [View all]hamsterjill
(15,214 posts)30. They use case law in their arguments.
Case law is used to substantiate arguments when the ACLU et al bring these lawsuits. So case law is the origin to changes in state and federal laws.
Look, the police officer and his wife are not going to be charged. I'm sorry that you disagree, but in this case, this is ONE time where the majority thought it was a travesty to pursue the case, both because of the circumstances AND because there are better uses of taxpayer dollars (i.e., murder trials, etc.). In this case I happen to believe the right decision was reached.
I hope you have a great evening.
