The car still running?
11:30 at night?
Who lets their boyfriend with no insurance drive her kids home at midnight?
On paper the cops are wrong as can be. One could have stayed or the could have waited for the mother when she finished partying
Which is a whole other issue
What?
This warrant was from five years ago.
The warrant for the arrest of Gabriel Metcalf for a separate city charge, in the Gun Free School Zone case in Montana, was three years old.
Sadly, that is not nearly absurd as it sounds at first read.
While I do not dispute that we need adequate law enforcement, it is a mistake to assume the police are here for your safety and are your friends.
As it continues to get more difficult to recruit quality personnel for LE this sort of thing will become more common. More and more, those who want to be cops are just those we don't want as cops.
Hopefully he collects enough from the PD to pay for insurance and tags for the car.
The cop is an idiot, but remember that half the people are dumber than the average person, and I guess in some places you have to settle on the average person being a cop.
That was not handled well. Those minor children should not have just been left there at night, like so many bags of laundry.
Midnight funerals, that’s something new to me.

I am reminded of the story from a few years ago of a locality in CT that would not accept someone as a police officer if they scored too high on an exam. They didn’t want “thinkers” on the police force. They wanted people who would enforce the rules no matter, without pausing to think about it.
Probably he had a Trump bumper sticker on his car.
The police are not our friends, in spite of what PDJT, et al., say.
The little tin god brigade strikes again! They should lose their badges.
Cop should be fired immediately and $50000 restitution given to the man arrested. Make the ex-cop pay with his own money. /spit
Too bad there are no fines or penalties for violent crimes.
A sternly worded letter in the file and back on the beat.
Cannot let traffic law violators off easy, tase them and drag them in to teach them a lesson. Children left in the car? The perp should have known better.
Remember, see a cop getting the hell beat out of him, call out to him to dial 911 when he can.
That is what they expect us to do.
They are on mindless autopilot. Robots driven by procedure without ever stopping to think for themselves.
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
