An arrest is NOT hard to come by. Hell, if you've ever watched cops, they threaten EVERYONE with going to jail, and WILL take anyone downtown, especially if they seem to 'know their rights' They don't seem to worried about the "evidence' to do it. If a house is broken into, and they catch me walking down the street nearby, and I say something that doesn't add up in their opinion(thus making me suspicious), they can detain me.
SERIOUSLY!!!!! This is pure idiotic thinking or you have some serious issues with law enforcement. Cops HAVE TO HAVE PROBABLY CAUSE TO MAKE AN ARREST.... Lets now define PROBABLY CAUSE shall we - A
reasonable belief that a person has committed a crime. The
test the court of appeals employs to determine whether probable cause existed for purposes of arrest is whether
facts and circumstances within the officer's knowledge are sufficient to warrant a prudent person to believe a suspect has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. If they are detaining you then that is slightly different story. That's call resonable suspicion....an objectively justifiable
suspicion that is based on specific facts or circumstances and that
justifies stopping and sometimes searching (as by frisking) a person
thought to be involved in criminal activity at the time. Zimmerman was detained. Thats why he was transported to the station in handcuffs...
This basically says that the facts and circumstances surrounding the investigation would be enough for a resonable person (not another cop but a citizen) to come to the same belief. So, just that definition alone screams that cops cannot make arrests just for the fuck of it.
I'm not saying that there isn't enough to charge Zimmerman with a crime. I don't know.... no one is privy to all the facts, evidence, or crime scene photos....etc. Just the act alone (in most states, EXECEPT FLORIDA) would be enough probable cause. Funny thing is, Florida has a "stand your ground" law. Which means if someone attacks you, and you
reasonable believe (funny how that word comes up again) that your life is in danger then you can use deadly force WITHOUT attempting to flee. THAT is most likely why the PROSECUTOR didn't charge him with a crime.
Also, I love how all these people see a surveillence video of him walking through a police station and can tell he wasn't injured. This was after a certain amount of time had lapsed and after the fire department had treated him so there would not be bleeding by this time.
Personally, I think Zimmerman is manipulating the Florida Castle Doctrine to try and get away with murder. he's a squirrel wanna be who used this neighborhood patrol to play cop. Either way, Zimmerman was completely in his right to call the police and ask the he be checked out. Trayvon wasnt suppose to be there in the first place. Especially since there has been reports that this gated community had a rash of burglaries recently.
Sorry for the rant....not trying to offend anyone

It's a phrase that basically means, if you wanna see the Sabres at the top, turn the rankings.
