The Arizona Court of Appeals has turned down a Phoenix furniture store owner's ongoing request to make police arrest day workers soliciting business near his property.

M.D. Pruitt's Home Furnishings on Thomas Road in Phoenix has been the scene of pro- and anti-immigration demonstrations for more than a year since its owner, Roger Sensing, first hired off-duty Phoenix police officers and then Maricopa County sheriff's deputies to keep day workers off the premises.

In August 2006, Sensing filed suit in Maricopa County Superior Court against Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris for failing to enforce a city ordinance that prohibits solicitation on city streets. A Superior Court judge dismissed the case in February, and Sensing appealed.

On Dec. 20, the Court of Appeals affirmed the lower-court decision, saying that such law-enforcement decisions are discretionary, not mandated, and therefore not subject to court orders.

So much for equal protection of the law.

The Decision can be read at this site..This Court has given the police the power to decide the Legality or the Wisdom of the Law ..That makes the Police the Legislature..as well as the Judge and Jury..The Courts are turning themselves inside out for the illegals..This is very bad...

"Whether the Chief's enforcement decision is based on lack of resources....or ...concerns about the legality or wisdom of the ordinance, the Chief has the discretion to make that decision

Here we have foriegn Nationals who ignore the law according to their discretion and Police Officers who don't enforce the law according to their discretion..
This is contempt of the Court by the Court..or is it just comtempt for Pruitt and Americans in general?
