So if they make a mistake about the type of knife they are charged with a crime?
Which is a start, if they did incorrectly arrest the fellow or any other person who have their 2nd amendment taken away and themselves arrested.
No police officer would honestly mistake a pocketknife for a switchblade. I hope. Otherwise we’re all up sh*t creek.
The knife was illegal in the city of Baltimore. It was certainly illegal for a parolled felon.
I think they caught the charges for giving him a “nickel ride” that he died as a result of.
I believe the prosecutor knows this, since one of the charges is “manslaughter by vehicle”
The prosecutor has a lot more information than we have. It’s my understanding she is both the daughter and the granddaughter of police officers, I don’t think she has an anti-cop agenda. I think she has a better understanding of what really happened here than people on this forum, armchair quarterbacks, and hipsters with signs who’s mom bought them a bus ticket to Baltimore have.
The “false imprisonment” charge is related to the unlawful arrest, even if the arrest was 100 percent legit, the other charges would still be appropriate.
