are women given more leniency during arrest and jail sentences?

I think when jail sentences are determined kids are considered. If having a woman in for a long time is going to leave a child homeless, and the woman is not violent and not a danger to the child then society might be better off with a more lenient probation than crowding both the jail and foster system that are both overburdened.

Some people are just great con artists-jails and the White House are full and of them!! Some guys, unfortunately think that women are just a token for their manhood, a notch on the belt; the more notches the more they can brag to their buddies! Some guys do it because they need to fill their egos by fooling and hurting unsuspecting women. These guys as well are just creeps too! There are no explanation or excuse for these low lifes!!

What do you mean, legally entitled to commit theft? We men just have to be, more strict and controlling now days, to keep women from deciving, betrayi8ng and stealing. It would help to catch them red handed, too.

Yes, police are given a certain amount of discretion in circumstances where it benefits the "greater good" to do so. Sometimes it just isn't worth it to use time and energy to enforce laws that are relatively less important than other, more pressing ones. For example, police in areas with high rates of violent and drug-related crimes will not waste their time arresting someone for littering.  \n\nThis is used by other members of law enforcement such as Distirict Attorneys and prosecutors, who use their discretion to "grease" the wheels of justice and reduce court costs for taxpayers. For example, prosecutors are allowed to give passes to certain criminals in exchange for information and testimony leading to the conviction of larger, more dangerous criminals.

Absolutely not! I am a police officer and I tell you that I would much rather prefer that everyone just obey the laws. When I make an arrest, depending on the circumstances, there are hours of paperwork, reports that have to be written, follow-up information to be gathered, court appearances, and countless hours of missed sleep (when you have to go to court, but work night shift).\n\nUsually the people that make these sort of comments are the ones that are breaking the law or hang out with the ones breaking the law. If you behave, I have no reason to mess with you. If you don't, you better believe I will do what needs to be done. It's that simple.

To the best of my knowledge its not. At least not in the state of FL. I don't see that the law about the way a jail treats its inmates would be much different. I was recently incarcerated at the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola, FL. We were allowed outside though for several hours a day. You could always contact the local district attorney or even a lawyer in private practice and ask them. Good luck, sorry for who ever is in jail.

According to law once caught they would be imprisoned for contempt of court, violating a court order, and be forced to do the remainder of their sentence behind bars.

if you break the law in the middle east there are very harsh punishments. for example cutting of your hand or leaking a red hot spoon or sometimes death. women are treated differently because their culture does not recognize womens rights.

It depends on what their sentence is.  That is up to the courts.  \nFor instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton.  However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance.  I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.  \n\nUnfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.  \n\nIt's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.\n\nThe way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.\n\nMoral of the story... stay away from drugs.

I spent three days in a county jail with a 6 foot tall very angry woman who had just shot her husband in the face.  ummm.. yeah, can somebody please call my daddy???....  the worst part about it was that mine was such a petty crime. horticulturist should never be jailed, i was doing my part to produce more oxygen and eliminate global warming ;O)

As a former cop I will tell you that I never let this tactic work on me.  In fact if a female sat there and tried to talk her way out of it and do any of her tricks it would provoke me into giving the ticket instead of a warning.  The cops who do there jobs the right way would not let them influence that cops thought process.

Yes it is, black are 13% of the population but over 50% in jail. Why? because black men are incarcerated 6x that of white men and 7x that of black women over white women. Also blacks can expect 3x long in jail. In fact I seen blacks get far longer jail time for manslaughter than a white person for murder.

Not always.  If it's a minor infraction like a speeding ticket, then stuff like miranda doesn't really enter in explicitly.\n\nIf, however, you're talking about a real criminal charge where they haul you off to jail, then yes, you should be read your rights and placed under arrest.

Unfortunately men are perceived as more aggressive, even brutal sometimes when it comes to sexual gratification. Some really sick men even have sex with the dead. Women on the other hand are seen as 'weaker' vessels? So they are given the benefit of the doubt ...maybe she was 'over powered' ! The circumstances of each case differs of course . I doubt whether such molestations from women were ever envisaged. But I agree with you its disgusting whoever does it. As the frequency of arrests mounts for women the existing laws that do not adequately address the issue would definitely have to be amended. I know there are no separate laws for men and women. But by the judges shed their personal prejudices and be bold enough to apply punishment across board evenly.

A bench warrant they won't come banging down  your door for her, but if she gets stopped by a cop for any reason and he/she runs her, they will find it and haul her off to jail... which may actually be the best thing for her, if she is out of control... it's sad to say.. but you may consider calling it in yourself and telling them where they can find her... she has to learn now.. otherwise when she is older she'll be worse
