I'm on both sides.
Under no circumstances should they have stopped a rape investigation in order to deal with something as relatively minor as non payment. The officers who made that decision should be punished, severely.
BUT, I also believe that as soon as they had dealt with pursuing the rapist, the woman should have been held accountable for her previous crime. Someone is out a lot of cash because this woman stole from them. The fact that she is now a victim of crime herself does not negate that in any way.
BUT, her arrest certainly could have been, and SHOULD have been, delayed. Justice was not served here.

Doesn't matter whether it was theft or murder, the point is:
Yes, there was sufficient reason to hold her.
No, there was not sufficient reason to stop their rape investigation (especially since such investigations are often time-critical).
[Edit]Another way to say it:
While it's true that \"being raped doesn't clear your debt to society\", it's also true that \"having a debt to society doesn't clear society of it's obligations to pursue one's rapist\".[/Edit]

Re: SEND A RAPE VICTIM TO JAIL!
They had gotten hold of the women anyway, so where's the need to arrest her? Imo this is just a symptom of the somewhat barbarian character of U.S. of American culture. Just like putting little children into handcuffs because they didn't behave at school, or putting a little boy into prison because some neighbours said he molested his little sister when actually he was trying to help her to pee. Everytime I read something like that, I think that the American society is sick. Not that I would say Germany is perfect, but there is still a difference between an influenza and cancer.Dakatsu wrote:http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/n ... ape31.html

I think I could post ten links to American perverts having committed horrible crimes here if I wanted, as well as links about ten German perverts having done similar things.
This thread is however not about (a comparably small number of) criminal perverts which you find in every country in the world, but about the entire society.
The suggestion you are making with your link therefore is misleading, out of place and just a smoke screen to avoid having to face the real issue. Of all negative character traits it probably is that kind of dishonesty I hate most.
You had rather find some link about similar, ragular occurrences of gross abuse of power by German authorities (and please don't start with Nazi Germany, you don't want to compare the U.S. of A. to that, do you?)

Trying to ridicule the opponent if someone doesn't really have anything to say is a common strategy - particularly for kids and teenagers. I had expected some more intelligent approach by a university student, but on the other hand do you seem pretty typical for today's average (American?) uni student. I think it will make sense to talk to you again once your intellectual maturity has passed the teenage state.
