User:September30/The Public Duty Doctrine

'''The Public Duty Doctrine in the United States. The following is an example of this doctrine. '''Warren v. District of Columbia 44A. 2d 1 (D.C. Appeals) 1981. Quoting from Warren: "Government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular citizen, but, rather, duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent special relationship between police and individual, no specific legal duty exists."
