However, they far from got it right. They did detain him without RAS. They unreasonably searched his person in order to get his ID. They performed an "e check" (which any honest cop wouldn't do without true RAS).
I think it's pretty clear they abused their power, leading to the collection of information that lead to a conviction.

I stand corrected. They did NOT arrest him.CA_Libertarian wrote:Thesues' case is a harsh reminder that we can't trust the "checks and balances" in our system. The idiot legislature wrote a bad law. The cops made it worse by making an arrest that pretty clearly doesn't fit any crime. The DA - who also clearly has motives other than justice at heart - found it fit to prosecute the case. The activist judge deprived him of a fair trial by preventing certain defenses from being prevented. The jury -perhapsas muchof a victimas anything else - then sheepishly allowed tyranny and injustice to prevail.
If I remember corectly, Thesues was never actually arrested by a LEO. I think he was directly charged by the DA's office via their incident reports.
Maybe I'm nitpciking, but at least this time 'the cops' got it right...
