This is truly a long story and I don't have the time to type it all out regretfully, but here it is in a nutshell. Im posting this here because I'm from Michigan and follow this forum a bunch.
Here goes:
March 9th I was in the process of moving so everything I owned was in my Jeep. I was parked at a public park talking on my cell phone when Miami Beach police show up and ask me to step out. They then asked if I had any weapons or alcohol in my vehicle. I told them that my handgun was in the very back in a holster buried underneath a bunch of stuff (legal in FL) They proceed to look for my gun and after 20 minutes they finally find it. At this point Im in the back of the car handcuffed. I argued with the officer that what they were doing is illegal. He didnt seem to care much. I spend a day in jail, bond out and hire a lawyer. Charges were dropped by the state due to no legal grounds to persue action against me. Now my lawyer is suing the Miami Beach police dept for wrongful arrest and hes doing it on contingincy. The firm is pretty confident that I will win this out of court within the next 6 months. Thats pretty much it so far. Like I said I could drag this out into a novel with all of the details but I dont have the time. Thought you guys might find this interesting.
