Okay... so now I'm confused... Unless I am misunderstanding, Rich7553 stated below that SB234 went into effect 6/17/11.
So then the update that my brother received on 7/14/11 is NOT updated with the new SB234 details. I guess that makes sense since the term BRIEFLY was no where to be found in the 21 page doc.
Damn I'm glad you guys are patient with clueless people like me, lol
The law went into effect on Day X.
Day Y is a Day that is occuring AFTER Day X.
On Day Y, Updates about various changes in laws are being provided to LEOs. One of these law updates, a very important one, is being deliberately omitted from the updates.
Why? Well, one can alreay see a nefarius hand at work in the fact that this one update is being willfully censored. So, it is impossible NOT to deduce that there is malicious intent. This means that the original question, "Why?" also has malicious intent in the answer.
As I hinted at earlier in the thread: If an officer made an arrest or detainement in violation of the now law SB234, because their superiors deliberately withheld knowledge of it... That Offending Officer would have qualified immunity, and the higher-ups would effectively use them as unwitting pawns for assaulting us and ruinging our lives in a quagmire of defense fees and a bogus arrest record. The CLEOs get to attack citizens and get away with it, such scenarios they seem to spend every waking minute thinking up, instead of preventing real crimes...
Courts do frown upon Willful Ignorance. Especially when deliberately orchestrated by dozens (that's right, I said dozens) of Publicly Elected Sheriffs and their friends in the Legislature.
