Correct me if I’m wrong… but if the DA won’t press charges, then why will the cops enforce the law. I thought you needed both parts of that in order to happen?
Will this possibly get Nutter the the cops arrested for breaking state law?

What a maroon! If the DA “Nifongs” Nutter the way the NC Attorney General “Nifonged” Nifong, by stating on the record that the arrests are ilegal, Philadelphia will be liable civilly for false arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.

Actually, I think Nutter would be up for a bit more than “civil liability” — he would face the death penalty.
Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law
This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.
This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race.
Acts under “color of any law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under “color of any law,” the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, in addition to law enforcement officials, individuals such as Mayors, Council persons, Judges, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs.
Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and if bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire shall be fined or imprisoned up to ten years or both, and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

“As far as I am concerned, the laws are valid and we will act as if this whole conversation with the D.A. just didn’t take place,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said.
By that statement he’s admitted that he fully intends to perform unlawful acts upon the population of Philly.

They are all right now indictable. they should be looking for a bail/bondsman as we discuss it. But practical people will find a way to avoid the duty.

Hey, you’ve got some prosecutors in the Houston area who tell the cops “I don’t care what the state law says about ‘having a gun while travelling’, you arrest them!”
They’re like this idiot chief, pushing their political views with no regard for the law.
