But certain offenses require the suspect to be        AT> detained & processed.              Exactly my point.               AT> Counterfeiting is not like a speeding ticket. It's like stealing        AT> someone's credit card and then trying to use it. People speed by        AT> accident, but they don't counterfeit by accident.              And there is no evidence that Floyd counterfeited anything. He is       accused of passing a counterfeit note -- which could easily have been by       accident. Nothing has come out since to imply otherwise.               AT> I'm confident that a police sergeant isn't going to take a suspect to        AT> the police station for processing if he doesn't have to. You seem to        AT> be arguing that counterfeiting is as harmless as a traffic violation.              I am not arguing that counterfeiting is harmless, but that is not what       Floyd was suspected of. Passing a counterfeit bill is not a serious       offense until it is proven that it was with knowledge of it being       counterfeit.               Dale Shipp        fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net        (1:261/1466)                     ...
