What!

And that video is not admissible in court of law? So, one wife beater can beat his wife and Police do nothing cause, cause the Police did not witness the beating. Nice, I like it. Both the lady and he big Bully boy should be arrested and thrown in jail.

Oh, how many witnesses where in that restaurant?

Sorry to burst your bubble Old Gringo but Texas has the same kind of an approach. Our daughter's car window was smashed, her dash was ripped open and her Alpine stereo was stolen. They caught the guy who pawned it in Irving (it still had the CD that she could identify inside of it) - along with 69 other stereos which had similarly been ripped from the dashes of Hurst-Euless-Bedford cars over a three week period. The DA refused to prosecute (even though this guy already had a long rap sheet for similar thefts) because no LEO observed him committing the actual thefts.

Crimes only happen if LEOs see them.
