Law abiding Pennsylvania mother victimized by New Jersey gun laws

Where to start......

Yes, I break the law daily, thank you.

Your welcome, hope you don't go to prison for it. I wonder what your defense will be?

Anyway, carrying a firearm is a HUGE responsiblity, i still believe that part of that responsibility is to know the laws in your area.

Stop with this nonsense. Equating the responsible gun ownership/use/carry with a responsibility to the state. By the way it wasn't in an area she lived in it was another state.

Fair, right/wrong is irrelevant.

So you don't believe in justice? Nice.

There are lots of males arrested daily for stuff like this and no one is up in arms raising money for them.

Really? You must not pay attention to OCDO very much we do get very upset every time a person is violated by thugs in state issued costumes. I reiterate no one is making this a race issue except .........you.

I feel bad for her, it sucks the system is going to eff her over and i think the cop should've had the common sense to see she has no record, just got her CPL and clearly was just turned around on the turnpike mistakenly but the LEO also has to leave personal opinion out of their job.

So you think he should've but shouldn't have????????

If they are liberal and in an OC state, they cant push their personal agenda right? In the same token, a right wing cop shouldnt let stuff go because of his/her personal opinions on it. You have to leave your personal opinions at the door as an LEO i would think. you're supposed to enforce the law regardless of color, sex, personal bias etc.

No they absolutely can choose not to enforce bad laws.This is way different than choosing to enforcing an opinion contrary to law.

If you must choose "the law" over morality, rights or liberty it is the law that is wrong.

Officer discretion is a key element in the proper enforcement of law. There are verbal warnings issued by cops untold numbers of times a day. This cop chose not to use his discretion where he clear can. Mens rae does hold meaning for many cops and I think that in this case it should have too.

No crime if there is no victim.

No crime without mens rea and actus reus.
