In localish news a drug dealer asked the police if he could finish his McDonalds fries before they carted him off to the station. The article doesn't say whether or not they granted his request.
But it does raise an important civil rights question. He's paid for his meal so is stopping him eating it actually a crime in itself? Should the police have waited patiently for him to finish his meal.
Yes. Stopping him is effectively stealing his food
Yes. He might have had a medical condition
No because you get fed in jail

Should the police wait until you've finished eating?
Considering his sentence, they should have offered to pay for his food. A slap on the wrist for drugs and weapons charges? That’s crazy. Either drugs and violence are problems that require intervention and correction, suggesting stiffer penalties should apply, or they’re not a problem and police have larger concerns. Thereby making this entire situation a deplorable waste of time and taxpayer resources.

Of course he should be allowed to finish his meal. He paid for it. He’s in the middle of eating it. So let the poor man eat a nice meal before he is carded off to jail. I feel really bad heck I’ll join him and have a meal alongside of him. Especially McDonald’s you can’t go wrong with that awesome meal. You probably have tried it before in Wales haven’t you poppy?
Well, McDonald’s is not that good over in Europe. When I tried McDonald’s in London England it was horrible. It had no taste no flavor just a rubbery hamburger it wasn’t even built up big enough like in the commercials they show. I wanted to eat it hot so I ate it right at that McDonald’s instead of taking it back to our hotel room because I wanted to experience what it was like right there eating it on the spot and I was disappointed Poppy, But London doesn’t have good food so I expected that in a way. Except for this one Italian restaurant by the Opera House’s the play houses it was actually pretty good, but that was the only one. In America McDonald’s makes it real tasty and juicy its something in the food that makes you crave it and you end up going back for more the same thing with Donald Trump he can’t resist it. He loves McDonald’s. I would love to try your cooking and I’m sure you’re a great cook, but please don’t feed me castrated animal dick that’s not something that I’m interested in don’t surprise me and tell me at the end what you did please don’t do that to me.
What if he booked and paid for a 12 month around the world vacation trip, should he get to finish that too? Should he get to finish his week at disneyworld if he paid for that?
No. There is a risk he could swallow evidences like drugs. Police is obliged immediately to handcuff detained person and searched their pockets for dangerous stuff.

Seized large amount of cash? Will it also count as tax evasion?
Yet they sentence people for longer when they complain that dirty immigrants rape their children. ㅤ

Miami has one McDonald's for every 7000 people. Here it's one per 40,000. I've not been in one for years

What if he booked and paid for a 12 month around the world vacation trip, should he get to finish that too? Should he get to finish his week at disneyworld if he paid for that?
Yes, of course he already paid for it. He must be allowed to go and I’ll go with him.
No. There is a risk he could swallow evidences like drugs. Police is obliged immediately to handcuff detained person and searched their pockets for dangerous stuff.
Is nitrous oxide illegal? Those cans are scattered all over, I assumed they were a legal, if stupid, high.
He isn't going anywhere, so let the lad eat !!!
How about waiting for your "happy ending"?
That’s not really a happy meal
Piss on his bloody chips
The poor man come on give him a break
doesn't work that way
But they need to start making it work that way
