Identify as many situations as you can in which following the letter of the law would either cause a problem or result in less "valuable" result than following the spirit of the law

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Answers will vary. Students may identify situations in which costs of booking are prohibitive, an injured or sick person takes priority, there is not enough room to hold all suspects, dealing with suspects of minor infractions would prevent dealing with more major infractions, the criminal justice system is not the best way of dealing with the suspect (for example, in a case of mental illness or a very young juvenile), etc.
