I think it's f*ckin ironic that the Italian police are actually enforcing the law at all, let alone something like this, when they do NOTHING about assaults, wife abuse and other crimes.
From my experiece travelling there in '96, and needing the (useless) assistance of the police, I found out many disheartening things about their 'legal' system. Basically, u have NO rights if u are violated.
The things I learned from my police officer there:
-If assaulted, the police can not arrest the accused, unless your injuries last for 10 days, and only then can they charge him. (I take it these have to be grievous injuries)
-Many women who have been abused by their husbands have been coerced by the police upon arrival to just 'drop' the charges, kiss & make up.
-If your car is broken into, no matter how many witnesses saw the perpetrator, unless the guy is sitting in a broken into car, they can not hold him.
I had to ask if murder was against the law, or was there some sort of condition it had to meet too.
No wonder the mafia is from there.
