That goes a million times more if he arrests or threatens to arrest someone for the non-existent law.Sewer_Ice wrote:I could very easily have gone to jail today due to his ignorance, then missed a test. Getting arrested for ANY REASON (innocent, or not having committed any crime) is not an excuse for missing a test for an department at UNT, so I'd have to take a zero for a test grade! I'll make sure to mention this as well, and the fact that I plan on going into law enforcement myself, so I do understand that every officer cannot know every law, but knowing CHL as it pertains to his jurisdiction is important.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for you and me. I think it's disgusting that a cop can kidnap you for a crime that doesn't exist (I won't dignify the kidnapping by calling it an arrest) and claim ignorance as a defense.
