Actually if I were in that situation.. my wife, children, relatives, and community would be the FIRST ones to believe me when I say that it was mistake in judgement on the officer’s part..

You are fortunate. I'm single and not sure if my family would believe me. I can appreciate Ramsbotham's point, the police have enormous power at that point. If it were a sting against Craig himself (which I see as very unlikely) his negotiating words used with the officer might make some sense especially if the part we didn't get to hear made it clear what the deal was to Craig. But that scenario is ridiculously unlikely.

In my own case, my boss would probably be sympathetic and give me plenty of time to look for another job. In the case of a Senator, there are too many bosses and too much nefarious media influence on those bosses.

The people who wrote the Bill of Rights did so to protect us from police officers who would falsely accuse us and then say we must be guilty if we didn't act like sheeple. The scariest experience of my life was to be confronted by one of Bill Clinton's hundred thousand new cops who added two and two and got six. They are dumb, but they have guns. Here they are illiterate and can't even write a police report.

Like the cop in this case they lie. Now that this story is all over, take note of how he claims he doesn't tell the press. Sensible people don't regard cops as America's finest. They know to stay as far away from them as possible. The most understanding I can be is to say that they spend all of their time with crooks and can't recognize a law abiding person. This cop keeps telling Craig that his version is right because of his experience with others.
