And that is the core of the problem. Why are there even laws like this? Why do you have to prove you weren't going to do something bad when you hadn't done anything wrong? Why does this family now have to prove the child's innocence since she has been presumed guilty. We are criminalizing every day common activities.
The problem with all these preemptive, no tolerance zones and laws is that you are presumed guilty and have to prove your innocence. I must be under the wrong interpretation of the constitution about innocent until proven guilty.
It should come as no surprise that people's respect for laws, judges, courts and LEO's is declining.
What I mean is that we here have no problem with "just because I am caring a gun doesn't make me a criminal" but we justify this action by government by saying "While the arrest seems a bit extreme, it is with the law and was one of those things that could have been avoided. How hard is it to not bring a prohibited item to school?"

Seems this thread should be over in Legal and Political.
