Should cops break the law in order to enforce the law?

It sounds like an unsafe maneuver for something as simple as not having headlights on. I'm sure that could have been a dangerous situation, but forgetting to turn headlights on is easy to do when you're on a well-lit road. The officer could have easily called ahead and let another squad car up the road stop him.At the very least, he should have had his flashing lights on.

Give me a break. Absolutely not. All law enforcement officers should be held to stringent rules of conduct.

Cops should be held to a higher standard. They should be tested and prove their integrity first before they become a public servant. DUH.

Only if it saves lives. The example above should not have happened, and you may want to call the non-emergency number of the local police to report it. If someone in one car shot at another I would hope the police would turn on lights, then take an illegal U turn.

Police cars are emergency vehicles. I couldn't imagine trying to find a place to make a left to turn around if you saw a crime being committed. Granted the person without lights could have had them off for a number of reasons including: forgot to turn them on, they're broken etc.What if that person with no lights ran into someone, or someone ran into them because they couldn't see them?

Yes they get special allowances, but so do other emergency vehicles. If you think about it, they break the 'law' constantly to enforce the law including traveling at speeds twice the legal limit. Should they?

Absolutely. I cannot say for that particular incident, but in most cases, yeah - they have to.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
