law about arresting women-have you ever heard of such?  email this discussion to a friend?

"The law which most are not aware of, clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. If she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest."
This came in my inbox, along with a "narrative" of a woman who had been raped by a police officer. I wonder if either story is real, (I haven't checked snopes.com yet though) and what happens, or what form of redress a woman has if it is proven that the arrest was not done according to the law. Have you ever heard of such a law? What do you think of it?

Hi trinihd,

On the one hand, it's easy to see the good sense and logic behind such a law, if women are at risk of assault in a male-dominated precinct during the night.

On the other hand, I've not heard of such a law - I suppose it depends on which country and which district you reside in.

But I wish the same law applied to men - I'd be very happy to be arrested by a female officer and escorted to an all-woman police station ;)

Yeah, I'd never heard of it before, and I am still trying to find out if it is actually written in the law books or if this is some made-up forward. I am thinking it might be the latter, they actually gave a link in the email, which I am afraid to click on, you never know, it could cause malware to be downloaded. I will be reading the constitution to find out if it is really true!
