Fla. Cop Found Drunk In Squad Car, Not Cuffed

You know things are wacky in Florida when news of criminality continues to be about the cops rather than the robbers.
The latest Keystone Kops-like episode came when an off-duty cop was discovered passed out and drunk in his patrol car, the Miami-Dade, Fla., police department told local media.
And it gets worse: Instead of being cuffed and booked, Fernando Villa, 32, was allowed to go home after signing a form promising he would appear in court, the Miami Herald reported.

Because that is S.O.P. People who have been arrested before have their prints and photos on file too, and guess what? They take them again when they are re-arrested.

And nobody knows who will flee and who will not. If they did we could away with the whole bail option.

I think you sir are the flat out moron.

11:36, I agree with you, but after reading the whole story, it said that it is standard procedure for them to cuff and book the suspect. Here, they just take you to the dept. to write the citations and release you to someone. It's amazing that we all live in the same country, the rules are different wherever you go. Why can't it all be the same??
