Finally some justice
Just arrested, not convicted
This will be a landmark case
ohh
so they will go to court with that case?
Oh yes
Arrest is not conviction
You need reasonable suspicion to detain someone temporarily, for a reasonable amount of time to dispel that suspicion
Or to achieve probable cause
The facts or circumstances that would make a reasonable person believe that a crime is being or has been committed
I see, that makes sense
I hope he rots to prison
though
And then, with probable cause, you can arrest and charge someone for a crime
Then in court, the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, to an entire jury, or a single judge (judge vs jury trial is the choice of the accused)
And with that level of proof, the judge will impose sentence and they go to prison etc
But the judge can rule on various technicalities
Warren v. DC absolutely will be cited as precedent in this case
In Warren, the court held that the police have no duty to protect an individual person, only the "public at large"
Basically some guys broke into a house, raped and tortured a few girls for several hours, and police never showed up despite multiple 911 calls
Typical Greece police
They always come after some hours to not have a confrontation
Cops like that need to rot in prison
and a massive debt for their families
DCPD has a long history of corruption
DC as the capital is not within a state and has its own special laws separate from the rest of civilization
To own a pistol, at the time, you had to prove to the chief of police that you had a reasonable fear
Ahhh same law as Greece
There had been a case where a woman was raped and beaten, man went to prison, told her multiple times he's coming back to rape her again and kill her etc
Victim applies for pistol permit, chief denies it
Some other cases where even 20 year veterans of special forces didn't get permit
Landmark court case, DC v. Heller, changed this
Court held that it is a right to own a firearm for self defense, period
Doesn't the second amendment count though?
Yes but some governments will ignore it
Or state laws can overwrite the amendments?
They cannot legally, but they do anyway
Can you drag them to court over this?
Prior to Heller, rifles and shotguns in DC also had to be kept unloaded and locked, or disassembled
