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"

It's a fucked up case and I don't like it

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

Yes you can sue the state or federal government

Basically to drag them to Supreme Court

I see
