if it will be unequally enforced, and will lead to bias, such as this situation?

This is where your argument falls apart. There is no definition of "proper discretion", and no way to fix it when it gets out of control, because it is impossible for all to agree on.

Did you really think the great white hunter would get the - hokie VT - 6/22 09:28:50

the real white privilege is always via leftard racists (nm) - TigerFan92 STL - 6/22 09:44:52

No, but also he didn't commit any crimes. (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/22 09:39:04

Would you call what happened here proper use of discretion? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 10:24:52

Is that a proper question when it comes to "discretion"? - ummmm MU - 6/22 10:52:16

Correct - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 10:55:47

If it's subject to an objective test, it's not discretion. (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/22 10:57:32

It is not subject to an objective test - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 10:58:30

"was a good one" alludes to an objective test. (nm) - ummmm MU - 6/22 10:59:17

I believe "met the standard" would be an objective measure - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 11:22:17

but in the case of the law - meatiger MU - 6/22 11:27:18

If you get a ticket for going 10 mph through a school zone - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 11:55:22

of course not - meatiger MU - 6/22 10:44:02

Proper discretion is mandatory to effective law and order - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 10:48:41

so what is the point of a legislator making a law - meatiger MU - 6/22 10:54:37

Because it is hard for any law to take into account every - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 10:57:37

that is because how laws are made are trash - meatiger MU - 6/22 11:01:26

No an invalid point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 11:22:49

Not taking it in a different direction at all - meatiger MU - 6/22 11:26:35

Never claimed it doesn't get out of control - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 6/22 11:56:09

It was disgusting - El-ahrairah UGA - 6/22 09:30:52

Your response had little to do with my OP. But thanks for - hokie VT - 6/22 09:32:39

What do you think? - El-ahrairah UGA - 6/22 09:36:02

Hokie, this is your opportunity to stand up and defend the - ummmm MU - 6/22 09:39:48

that would require principles, which we all know - ashtray UF - 6/23 08:37:44

You can argue that the law shouldn't exist - Mormad MU - 6/22 10:03:09

Yes, you can argue that the "law" should not exist. - ummmm MU - 6/22 10:42:41

Tax crime is the one crime where jail is often a last resort - El-ahrairah UGA - 6/22 10:17:04
