Re: Black Princeton Professor arrested over parking tickets

So the executive summary is:

- She breaks the law twice.
- She gets an easy out for this (pay your fines).
- She fails to take the easy out and ignores the justice system.
- She breaks the law again and gets stopped.
- She gets arrested because when you don't do what the court tells you that tends to happen.
- She gets a pat down search by a man (to be honest this is the one questionable part)
- Police then follow entirely normal procedure.
- She lies in social media, and blames literally everyone but herself and her entitlement.

I miss anything?

Sort of. The point that standard procedure itself can be scrutinized some. Not blaming the officers if that is their standard procedure, but having to arrest, cuff, and haul someone nonviolent in for $130 sounds a little silly.

SA

It also makes the officers look bad when they are literally doing their job and following what they're supposed to follow. It's not the officers themselves I'd be concerned about - it's that really easily abused procedure, whether or not it was abused in this instance.

Courts are real big on you doing what you tell them. Pretty much anywhere in the world you'll get arrested and brought before them for explicitly violating what they tell you to do.

And it's understandable, because they're one of the founding structures of our society, and allowing even small things to undermine them is a net negative.

I find it understandable but not optimal. Much easier to start garnishing wages or some such once a time limit on paying the fines has been hit - ensuring that they'll pay regardless and can't escape the court. With no need to arrest someone who might start a social media protest making everybody look bad over $130 in parking tickets.

I agree it seems a little silly over $130, but on the other hand, I think it's only $130 - pay your damn tickets, Professor, and the problem is solved. And I didn't even need a degree to figure that one out.
