Brickbat: The Wheels of Justice Turn Slowly

When Dade City, Florida, police found Gwen Donahue, a 74-year-old dementia patient who had wandered away from her nursing home, they made sure to run her name through their database They found she had a warrant from nearly a decade ago, and rather than return her to her nursing home, they arrested her. Donahue's daughter says the warrant stems from a DUI. She says her mother completed all of the terms of her sentence except a two-hour online course, so the judge issued a warrant that none of the family was aware of. It took the family nearly a week to get a judge to sign a release order to get her out of jail.

It would have been illegal for the Dade City officers to ignore the warrant.

Dade City officers never break a law... in service of someone else's interest.

[squid_hunt]

Regardless. If you're for the rule of law, you have to concede that the arrest was legitimate.

[markm23]

Did they ever attempt to serve this warrant at the address she gave the court?

[Jerryskids]

Have you heard anything about her or her dog being shot to death?

Legitimate does not mean just.

[Longtobefree]

Never confuse a court of law with a hall of justice.

[Agammamon]

Arresting slaves to return them to their owners was legitimate.

Maybe the rule of law is overrated?

[squid_hunt]

The advantage of a Republic is the ability to change the laws based on the will of the public.

[EscherEnigma]

The advantage of having government actors be humans instead of robots is sometimes they can act like it.

[Agammamon]

There is no will of the public. There are only individuals.

The rule of law is a myth, it doesn't exist.

It's impossible to write laws clearly enough that no interpretation is needed. That interpretation is done by men.

[Don't look at me!]

I know I feel safe knowing this violet criminal is off the streets.

[Longtobefree]

Nice typo!

[markm23]

Purple-haired old women are a menace to society!

[Finrod]

A lot of states have a lot of legal bullshit on the books when it comes to DUI, because no one wants to speak out against it, since it looks too much like defending drunk driving.

[Rat on a train]

They aren't as icky as the sex offenders with their registries. Who wants to defend them?

[Longtobefree]

On the other hand, was she even aware of the difference between jail and the nursing home?

[Rat on a train]

One will release you so you don't catch the 'rona?

[mad.casual]

Which one is that?

I'd say "One will allow you to be released so you don't catch the 'rona." but even that doesn't really clarify it.

[Rat on a train]

I can clarify:
One is forced to admit people who have the 'rona. The other is forced to release people to prevent them from getting the 'rona.

[squid_hunt]

So she didn't complete her sentence?

[Jerryskids]

To be fair, everybody knows the law is powerless to help you, not punish you.

[R Mac]

Libertarians for cops acting as judges!

She's now polling favorably in the run for President.

[Gozer the Gozarian]

They should have given her the chair. The audacity of not doing a two-hour online course for over a decade.

[m4019597]

Pasco County cops have a multi-million dollar center for tracking pre-crime. They’re not the good guys in any story.

"It took the family nearly a week to get a judge to sign a release order to get her out of jail." Only a week? In Florida? No way! A judge in Florida did the right thing? Come on!
