It's entirely possible that the cop saw something (that isn't in the article or is contrary to the article) that made him think "Let me charge him with something minor just so i can bring him in, then we'll sort it out. If his story pans out, we can always drop the charge."



That may have been what the cop was thinking, but I doubt it. more than likely he was thinking. "I'm going to charge him because I can." And the DA was likely thinking "I need to support the police and keep the city out of trouble."

but even if you are right about the police thinking he might be guilty of something worse is that really how you want your police to act? I guess I think it's funny that you think that makes a bodus charge better. PAPERS PLEASE!

I've got nothing to add except a QFT to GC - and not just because of our bromance either...

Police do that all the time. I never said it was right.

All i'm saying is there's a rush to judgement here over a single article. It could be just what you all say it is, or not. I'd rather hear what goes on in court and then we'll see better.

The problem with police doing it all the time, whether or not it's right is that it gives legitimacy to the suspicion of this guy on little or no evidence.

Admittedly, vigilance is important with respect to stalkery things and all that... but when vigilance becomes vigilantism, you're doing it wrong.
