I like how you worded it as arrest, then fine. It clearly speaks to the nature of American police force tactics. Or I should say, police tactics.
Back on topic. If we still had the highly amicable, but ultimately corrupt (sorry Hawkins) BulldogNK on staff I would expect this to be a liablity. In principle I understand it, and much like many things I accept it as a potentially evil neccesity.
However its nature would make one wish that its use is highly controlled and well thought out before any action is taken.
