[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 601977, member: 52972"] defguy, TJR is correct. The police do not have to assume anything. They have the full support of the law in making an arrest if they "Believe" a law was vioulated. His experience an training allow him to assess the potential danger that the suspect or others may be exposed to due to his intoxicated condition. I agree, you are questioning the legality of arresting people in bars for PI. That is what is the most controverial part here in Texas. There is no agrument that the arrest are 100% legal. Nobody is questioning how the police are targeting the obviously intoxicated people and nobody is questioning that these intoxicated people were a danger to themself or others. I think you and Caymen, are getting sidetracked by a lot of details regarding the proof and the guilt of these suspects, or it's just a tacktic to increase revenues for the state, when you just feel that arresting drunks in bars in inherantly wrong, or unfair. Many people in Texas who believe that the arrest are legal, don't like the use of those tactics. Personally, I applaud the TABC and the police, but I never knew that the PI arrests would occur in a bar. Politicians appear to be split along party lines. Who would have guessed ?? :rolleyes: Most Republicans support the actions of the TABC while most Democrats feel the arrest were legal but want a review of the operation to insure there were no abuse of power on the part of the police. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
