Reply to comment by Maskeno in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by jab116
That definitely does happen. My Dad was a police officer with the Capitol Police a long time ago. There was a homeless person who basically lived under the steps of the Capitol. In the Winter he would be arrested on particularly cold nights so he wouldn't freeze to death.
But yeah, I don't think this was the case here.

It also says all over not to steal. It is still a sin as a whole, regardless of the reason you're doing it. Also, theft is against the law.

You’re right, you convinced me. It’s a much better world when cops don’t enforce laws, don’t get homeless people off the street, and are exclusively viewed as racist demons. You have solved our problems. Thanks! I look forward to your opinions changing when you reach adulthood.

Men do not despise a thief if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry.

LaGuardia in NY shuts down at midnight. Had a flight out of there that was delayed from 9pm to 11:50. Fastest boarding I've ever seen, we took off at 11:59pm after several minutes of suspense while we taxied to the runway. Now I avoid that airport

Those types of rigs (ASICS) can easily run at 1,000 to 3,000 watts each. (Not disputing your general math. Only the assumption that these are only using 300 watts each.)

Then get the dude help, not arrest him. I don't understand why you're trying so hard to make this arr a st seem like it was justified, it's a waste of resources. There are a thousand better ways to get that individual help. You are doing him more harm by processing him on petty theft charges for dollars, single digits, of merchandise. Additional bullshit charges on his record isn't going to help him get a job or pass a background check. This isn't the police being altruistic, they would have just paid for his chips if they were.
Edit: a word

His mom would disagree. She says she keeps asking the police to get him psychiatric help and to get him assessed. Again, you don’t need to prosecute him, but picking him up and getting him help is a good thing. There are services for homeless and the mental ill to admit themselves. If they don’t do it on their own, sometimes police need to help usher them into better care. You can’t look at every arrest as a punishment and shaming. Sometimes it’s to get people off the street and get them support and assistance.

Its in fact protected under UK law that you can not stop men or women using the toilets of the other gender due to gender discrimination laws. There is no way to enforce this with out breaking the law with out a court order banning said person.

Your proof is more lies. You are not going to convince me, because you're lying, and you're shit at it.

So he's getting off with a slap on the wrist (and face).

"And they said it’s a wonder he wasn’t dead," she said. "On 22nd Street? He must didn’t know where he was. Nobody has seen this boy before."
You messed with the wrong neighborhood. Let that be a lesson once your brain swelling goes down.

Lmao, yes, wasting thousands to recover damages amounting to less than ten dollars is a real solution. Enjoy trying to create a police state where they can just collect those deemed undesirable.
