@OCCOM BILL,
So you are saying that a cop can pick and choose which laws he decides to uphold, even thought they swear to uphold ALL the laws in their jurisdiction.
If thats the case, why have laws at all, or cops?
And if a cop, by your own admission, isnt required to know or enforce ALL the laws he is charged with enforcing, how then can you blame the cop in Mass for not knowing the law when he arrested Gates?
Either a cop is supposed to know all the laws or he isnt.
You cant have it both ways.
