Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?

Who is this

This is Erica from the dentist's office. I got your number from your file

Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess

I'm not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”

Thats why this needs to change.

If you commited murder and someone breaks the law to get you, you should still get convicted.

But the person breaking the law should have no immunity either and face the consequences of their actions. But if the person abused a position of power (police, politician, etc) they should face twice the punishment, one time for breaking the law and a second time for doing so in a trusted office.

The person you're replying to isn't correct. Police and prosecutors can't break the law to make a case. If you exceed the speed limit while trailing a killer, they don't get to go free.
