Virginia’s attorney general met with members of a Fairfax County cops group night to listen to their claims that new laws and policies are making it tougher for them to do their job.
They claim they’re
having a tougher time bringing charges in some cases because magistrates are
interpreting cases more liberally. …..as is the right of the magistrate since
the arresting cop evidently interpreted the laws from a narrow, far right view.
They’ve also
expressed concerns about inexperience on the part of some assistant
commonwealth’s attorneys and say some cases are being dropped.
Well….no, their cases
aren’t being dropped because some assistant commonwealth’s attorneys are
inexperienced….the law doesn’t work that way. The law is or the isn’t.
Experience has nothing to do with it.
