Time to Curb Police Powers?

by Juan DeJesus

 

With the Supreme Court’s ruling that the police may arrest, handcuff and incarcerate persons in violation of seatbelt laws and similar regulations, it is time either to curb police power or do away with all such “do-gooder” requirements. It is appalling that one can be dragged off to the police station and held for these sorts of minor infractions. It would be better not to have this kind of paternalistic legislation on the books.
