I dont care to finance ticket writers.
What do you guys think, please?

That particular fact was the result of a lawsuit filed by a female complainant. She was being stalked by a very persistent and dangerous stalker. She contacted local law enforcement and asked for help. I can't remember the city, or all the facts, but the gist of it was, in the end, even though local LE was watching her more closely than other people, the stalker slipped y and severely injured her. She filed suit and the case went all the way to the USSC. The USSC ruled that while the police are charged with enforcing laws and maintaining the peace, they do not have a duty to protect individual citizens in their jurisdiction.,
