Discretion - the power to use one's judgment in a given situation

eg judges have SOME (NOT COMPLETE) discretion in sentencing etc etc

Now, pick on a few people in the criminal justice system then dig up a million and one cases/media articles/legislation that support your opinion.

ie whether discretion is necessary in our legal system (yes? no? decide)

for examples i just tend to discuss the discretion that police have during the criminal process e.g what crimes to investigate, etc
