You have NO RIGHT to Police Protection

[El Negro]

"fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.''

Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981).

[El Negro]

When the State takes a person into its custody and holds him there [489 U.S. 189, 200]   against his will, the Constitution imposes upon it a corresponding duty to assume some responsibility for his safety and general well-being.

Constitutional duties of care and protection only exist as to certain individuals, such as incarcerated prisoners, involuntarily committed mental patients and others restrained against their will and therefore unable to protect themselves.

This is true! It only pertains to PUBLIC making the protection for the general public. Key word is PUBLIC because tax dollars goes towards PUBLIC SAFETY and not individual safety.

As Common said: It's the words!!!!!

Thanks for the law drop.  I was just talking about the police with a few classmates of mine.  I was telling them that the police are there to collect "taxes" and that there's no way that they can possibly protect everybody.  On Chicago PD and most police cars it has the words "Protect and Serve" but never says anything about what they are protecting and who they are serving.
