So, getting put in jail for not commiting a crime is not "false arrest" or a civil rights violation?

The "false arrest" requires that the confinment be without justification. He was arrested on solicitation charges, and as was explained, the elements for such a charge were present. Thus, there is a lawful arrest, even if the charges dont stick. Indeed, if some other standard was the case, every time a case wa dismissed, and it happens pretty often, there would be a civil suit.

Civil Rights.... why? What Constitutional right do you think was violated?

If there isn't a Constitutional right for a person to be sarcastic, then I'm in trouble :paranoid:

Ohhhhh.... WOW!!!! Sarcasm. Yeah, that's going to be really helpful here. I sure am glad you're good at that. We could really use a lot more sarcasm around here. While you're at it, why don't you put a meaningless picture of a cat spelling something wrong in your post? I love it when people do that.

:biggrin:

Just for the record, I have no idea how to do the wavey sarcasm font, and I really don't care either.

Just for the other record, doesn't the world seem better when the Bucks are sitting in the #1 spot?

meanwhile this delay all but guarantees he will not see any action this year if he will not be reinstated until the outcome of the hearing.

I'm certain JT is doing what is best, but why the guilty until proven innocent approach? And even if guilty, why is it necessary to wait for the courts to make their determination. that effectively added 6 weeks unto his punishment.

If this wasn't JT at the helm, I would think the coach was not handling this properly, but you can't question the success he has had on numerous levels, both on the field and off the field.

Not sure what 21's post does to establish that the elements of solicitation aren't present. Indeed, in as much as 21's post confirmed the Hypo above it, it's pretty clear there was an offer and acceptance of price. That's all they need for the charge. Doesn't mean conviction. Means the arrest was valid.

It means shit. Any cop can come up and arrest you for whatever they want and there ain't shit you can do about it unless you have some proof, so to assume all arrests are valid is naive at best. I'm pretty sure that if grad says there's some smoke, there's more than likely some fire...

Eh, what the lawyer-types are saying is that the police, while obviously stretching their interpretation of the law, are covered by the actual letter of the law...

Morality law is a bit different here...but that doesn't matter.

I call racial profiling. Young and black...automatically judged.

Bullshit and I hope there is more than a damn reprimand.

Not a lawyer, but if that's the case, the "actual letter of the law" probably won't hold up. For example, say a group of 10 kids are hanging around a 7-11, with seven white and three black, and white cops come up arrest the three black kids while letting the seven white kids go, they're covered by the "letter of the law" in that the black kids were indeed loitering, yet the black kids would get off because the white kids who were also loitering were let go. While Antonio's situation may not be--excuse the pun--so black and white, any hint of racial "targeting" should absolve him.
