There's probably not any one single thing that I would do but interestingly enough I was charged once with a misdemeanor for providing food to the homeless and arrested, finger printed, and then released. At the hearing, the arresting officer failed to show and the judge, being a rather empathetic and progressive individual had the following to say to me:
Since the arresting officer has seen fit not to respect this court's time, I am formally dropping the charges. I will go off of the record for one moment: Young man, some laws were intended to be broken. I applaud you for choosing wisely. Back on the record: I will order the record of arrest expunged because I see no benefit to society in having a record of this young man's arrest for performing what is essentially good civil service. And so ordered
I am reminded that there are good people in this world.
Sadly these good people are not enough in these positions of power to make the world a better place :(
That's beautiful, thanks for sharing. People like you and the judge, who will go against the grain to do the right thing, are what let me hope that we as a species might someday be able to get our shit together.
The judge is awesome and so are you. Which stupid law was that btw?
I don't remember now because it was a long time ago. It happened when I lived in AZ.
My money is on Florida.
They said it happened in Arizona.
Of course there are good people on the world bro. You’re one of them.
