Stopped in motor home for going too slow on I-80
This just goes to show how things can escalate to a huge problem when you are just driving along minding your own business. Kinda hard to believe this goes on. Motor home stopped for going too slow

This means the accused does not have to prove himself innocent, as opposed to the requirement to prove your innocence in Napoleonic law. Innocent until proven guilty mean the prosecution must prove the accused committed the crime, nothing more.westernrvparkowner wrote:DSDP Don wrote:It only took 3 pages, but thank you, we finally have a reasonable response. Makes you wonder why there is any crime in this country at all, since EVERYONE is apparently 100% innocent of any wrong doing and are on the express lane to sainthood.
Wow.....Are some of you THAT naïve. This was a dope dealer. They stopped him, but didn't find dope. This doesn't just happen to Joe citizen driving down the road. How many of you drive around with $167K stashed in your vehicle. Suddenly, many of you have made him out as a full timer enjoying his retirement when he gets caught up with the police for no reason.....really!!!
I guarantee that if you could see the driver's record, he has a long list of dope convictions. This article is printed from the side of the driver, where law enforcement is never asked or is not willing to discuss the case, but the media likes to print what looks like an outrageous story.
This is a defense version of the story and is no different than what you hear from a mass murderer's defense attorney. Telling you he was a choir boy and model citizen.
Ever had a "Civics" class?
"Innocent until proven guilty ring any bells"?
SMH
We have never, ever treated suspects as if they were completely innocent. We routinely lock up murder suspects until their trial. We routinely take what is believed to be stolen property away from thieves without a trial. And we routinely impound and freeze assets from suspected drug dealers, embezzlers, con men and other assorted lowlifes long before they are found guilty.
The very idea that everyone should be treated as innocent until they are proven guilty is ridiculous. Do you really think the police should give the gun back to a spree killer and let him walk free or let a bank robber spend his ill gotten gains until his trial under the theory that they are "innocent" until they are found guilty at trial?
