A question for the Police Officers....

[Ken King]

You should read the digest of criminal laws for the state of maryland, which is the guidebook by which we determine different crimes. An example is; DOMESTIC ABUSE. (a) A police oficer without a warrant MAY arrest a person if:....... Another example; Failure to comply with Peace Order. A law enforcement officer SHALL arrest......... See the difference in the language. I have attempted to explain this in these brief blogs. It is difficult to provide you with my 15 years of police experience and training in these brief sessions, but I hope I have educated you enough so you understand that just because a police officer can arrest, doesn't always mean he should arrest. Discretion clears the way for the courts for cases which should be heard. I know that you will say that some officers abuse thier discretion, but I would submit that is human nature, and judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, legislators and every other HUMAN being is not perfect each and every time. I can only say that I have always treated every person the way that I would want my family to be treated until that person crosses the line. Thank you for your interest.

First, the digest you speak of is a training tool developed by those that are not the legislature. And what you are not catching on to is that discretion is one thing but prefential treatment is another. You do realize that there is a difference, don't you?

Now go ahead and continue your education and show me anywhere in writing in any official Maryland document that states that when an officer has stopped a motorist for a traffic violation that if the offendor declares or shows proof of being an officer or a family member of an officer that they are to be given a free pass. I won't be holding my breath.

Give it up. If you think you know everything about law enforcement maybe you should go through the training.

Well Ken, I don't think you are going to be satisfied. I agree nobody should be given preferential treatment, but life is not fair and people are infallable. I hope that you have done everything in life perfectly, and never made any errors. Good luck to you in what ever you do!

Ohh Ken, the digest I speak of is approved by the legislature as well. It isn't a "training" tool, it is a reference guide for officers. Perhaps you don't believe me, so maybe you should check with Senator Dysons office.

I have two cop friends who were pulled over for DWI and charged with indecent exposure in Solomons Island. Of course the arresting officer was from an opposing county but trust me..... It happens!

 

[smcop]

Hmmm, will they also let their friends get away with robbing banks or dealing drugs?

Ken are you saying dealing drugs and robbing banks are as serious as speeding? Should the courts exact the same punishment for each offense?

My sister is married to a MSP officer. My nephew has broken into houses, stolen high dollar things and has never been arrested. His daddy-cop is called and they take care of it. My sister gets stopped quite often for speeding but has the blue line sticker on her car and doesn't get tickets. Clearly police think they and their family is above the law.

Good news: I got tail gated in my car going 55 by a St. Mary's County, undercover MSP, and Charles County officers tonight on my way home.

Bad news: I was going just over the speed the other day in my truck and I never got tail gated.

Let me get this straight. Your nephew has been caught committing these crimes by police officers and your brother-in-law arrives at the scene and gets him released at the scene?

Sorry....dont buy it
