Just last night YouTube suggested that YouTube clip of the woman whose lawyer in a restraining order/domestic violence case teleconference told the judge she was afraid her client’s husband was in the house with her and the judge made him take his computer outside where police were waiting to arrest him.

Personally I think the judge should have made the woman go outside first, but “inside a suspect’s house” is statistically more dangerous than a traffic stop, which is the second most dangerous place for a cop to be.

I was more thinking of soon-to-be political prisoners but there are a lot of situations that match what I said.
