False imprisonment generally doesn't apply when due process is followed, like getting a warrant.
You'd have to change the law to allow for prosecutions in cases like this, and that change would likely be weaponized in other cases.
- dfxm12 4mo agoYour comment spoke to the commenter's motivation, not about how likely any proposed charges were to stick from a technical standpoint in this particular jurisdiction. So, you have abandoned defending your original claim and moved the goalposts elsewhere.
- ikeboy 4mo agoWhat? My original comment says that we need to reform in a different way.
- dfxm12 4mo agoYour original comment is different from "we need to reform in a different way". If that's what you meant, that's not what you posted.
- ikeboy 4mo ago>We need to tame the impulse to throw people in jail for doing things we dislike And in comments I expanded on this and gave several specific reforms. Not sure what your understanding was.
- dfxm12 4mo agoIf you refer to my earlier post, I show how it is disingenuous to claim that people are having this impulse. They are not. You are arguing against a strawman. Hope that clears this up, because I don't know how to state it clearer.
