Legislators Have Get-Out-Of-Jail Free Card Under Colorado Law

Two sets of laws in this country. One set for us, the peasants, and another for law-enforcement/lawmakers.



Not the outcome you intended? What else was that law going to be used for? People in Colorado are just lucky she didn't decide to murder someone. Makes me wonder how many other states have laws like that on the books, or the Federal government for that matter, which makes lawmakers immune so long as they are "on the clock" so to speak.

Now having said all of that, I don't blame this woman one bit for not waiving her immunity. How stupid would that be?
