    I got arrested and got to spend the night in jail because I shouted for a women who was being given a field sobriety test to shut her fucking mouth and stop incriminating herself.

    The cops buddy trucked across 4 lanes of traffic to arrest me for “resisting arrest”.

    I was put in “timeout” by a cop because his authority was questioned.

    The city formally apologized to me via letter and dropped the “resisting arrest” charges but only after I paid too much for a lawyer and requested the body cam footage be ready for my court date.

    Fuck the police, I’ve never had a good experience with a police officer. I’ve never felt safer with a cop in the building.

      How long ago was that? Sure Sue them off if you’re not beyond the statute of limitations. That’s illegal as fuck. If they dropped the charges that quickly they might pay a settlement quick too.

      That’s a federal civil rights violation that the police officer would not be able to get qualified immunity for. Unfortunately the damages would be pretty small.
