Lawyer X - Police

[Thryleon]

I see the Police and Lawyers as Yin and Yang, one cannot function without the other and therefore it is ridiculous to expect zero overlap. So there is irony when each portrays the other as a mortal enemy!
Does it function that way though?

Could you argue that a lawyer dropping a case is a tell, a defacto concession of client guilt!

[member=105]Thryleon[/member]  What is "Good" as in "Good vs Bad" Is bad the police leveraging a greedy and narcissistic lawyer to put a career "child killing drug peddler" off the streets? Some will no doubt claim the high ground, and advise us to turn the other cheek. Tell that to the parents who have watched a child die from a drug overdose!

Lawyers and socialists will argue against those actions and infer an anarchy of no limits is the ultimate destination, but I seriously doubt our democracy crumbles when a bad lawyer goes bad and the police leverage that event!

Removing access to lawyers by instilling paranoia might be the best thing to happen to the crooks, from a public perspective!

Maybe the public anger needs to be directed at those who award the appeals? A mighty deep and dark pit!

I dont worry about good vs bad when it comes to legality.

I trust the cops do everything within the law or the spirit of the law rather.

If not then we are screwed.

Likewise I expect legal counsel to act in my best interests.

If I can have faith in either then we have no legal system and we are left with a kangaroo court.

Let me put it to you differently.  The law is there to protect society.  Where people operate outside those laws they actually damage our society's frameworks, values, morals and ethics irrespective of the intention.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

They are asking questions they already know the answer to in order to prove someone is a thief, murderer and a criminal not the other way around.  The polices job is to gather evidence and then convict not to pervert the course of that investigation and therefore justice in the process.

Reading up on gobbos case she was getting crims off for finding errors in their cases built against people and that is entirely the point.  Who polices the policemen otherwise?

Note they are people and are fallible.  In gobbos case she needed them and in the first conversation with them she was recorded illegally despite her telling them not to and asking if it were being recorded.



Unacceptable.

This article summarizes the issues well i think.
