And what does the record indicate, beyond poor driving skills and sloppy paperwork?<br /><br />We see one assault and battery charge in Miami; that might be relevant, if we knew more about it. Did that case come up to trial? I've been to South Beach clubs; it's easy to get involved in a fight down there, with all the machismo and mojitos.<br /><br />I'm always suspicious of "disorderly conduct" citations. That's too often a cop's catch-all when he's decided to arrest someone who might not have actually done anything more than irritate the cop.<br /><br />We still come back to this; if he did something "prior" to the moment caught on tape that warranted arrest, he should have been arrested then, especially given this record. If he <i>didn't</i> do anything to warrant getting arrested <i>before</i> the tape, then the incident that he was actually arrested for was, in fact, asking the officer for his badge, something any citizen has the right to do any time.<br /><br />It's truly a disturbing amount of citations, but he's still allowed to ask a cop for his name and badge number. Assholes have rights too.

I just wonder exactly how respectful he was to the officer before the video started, given his lack of respect for the law up until now.Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958638081040988982noreply@blogger.com
