I mean, that would be fine if it were true. Obeying the Constitution makes it unfeasible to do certain things, and that’s fine—indeed, it’s sort of the point. But it’s also sort of absurd to act like getting a warrant to execute a home arrest is some crazy insuperable barrier.

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?
Do YOU have an aging friend/relative who should stop driving? Tell them this story from San Francisco. Ask how they will feel if they kill an entire family.
But don't tell them that even then, they'll be forgiven and be able to drive again.
This verdict is obscene.
