I think it's fair to say "not paying a fine should not land you in jail". IMO there are ***LOTS*** of things that will land you in jail that should not. But that's not what this ruling is about. At. All. However.... Once you're in jail, all bets are off. It's critical for the safety of everyone - other inmates, corrections officers, etc, that each and every prisoner be searched for weapons or other dangerous materials on the way in. I think you are arguing the wrong point here. Argue that this guy should not have been in jail and I'd be interested in hearing more about why he was sent there. Arguing that inmates should not be checked for weapons doesn't make sense to me at all. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
