[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 229222, member: 704"] Well they can't so what if doesn't mean much because everything is going the other direction. It's tougher and tougher to make a conviction. So tough that many violent criminals have been getting off for years. It started with the Miranda warnings. Criminals love this stuff. In the end though it's better ten criminals get off than a single innocent person go to prison. Often it appears as a miscarriage of justice, but punishing the innocent is the greater crime. This however is a miscarriage of justice because there is no question of guilt. The judge can't be blamed for following current law. The Sheriff can't be blamed for not wasting taxpayer money with no chance of conviction. Even the deputy can not be blamed if they indeed failed to signal. Any infraction is probable cause. However it sounds like time of detainment somehow figured into the dismissal. That's head scratching. [/QUOTE]
