AB 237 & AB246 must be stopped, are there only a few of us who care anymore!
Senator Wanggaard, This email is addressing AB 237, and AB246 which you are strongly supporting. The question I must ask, and demand an answer to is, why would the state grant police expanded powers of arrest along with stricter penalties under the law; and in doing so, remove any liability which may result from police’ ignorance of the law after the fact. To further empower the states police; who have no legal obligation under law to protect the people, causes the people to ask WHY? The people see no benefit in this state sanctioned power grab, only tools of legal harassment along with the peoples diminished civil rights of protection from what will be a police force that acts with immunity.
The following cases support the claim that the police are not obligated to protect.
DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (109 S.Ct. 998, 1989; 489 U.S. 189 (1989)).
Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Department (901 F.2d 696 9th Cir. 1990
Zinermon v. Burch (110 S.Ct. 975, 984 1990; 494 U.S. 113 (1990))
(Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981).
(Riss v. New York, 240 N.E.2d 860 (N.Y.1968)).
(Hartzler v. City of San Jose, 46 Cal. App. 3d 6 (1st Dist. 1975)).
