Help! Iknow that hte courts have ruled on many occasions that the police have no duty to protect the individual but only to the population as a whole. Can any one out there point me to a web sight that I can read these rulings, and has the supreme court ruled on this. Thanks in advance...............

quote:The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado. The appeals court had permitted a lawsuit to proceed against a Colorado town, Castle Rock, for the failure of the police to respond to a woman's pleas for help after her estranged husband violated a protective order by kidnapping their three young daughters, whom he eventually killed.
To read the ruling, you will need Adobe, as this link will open a pdf file.
