I see the cops are twisting themselves into pretzels attempting to justify their bad actions in this incident. The poor “Heidi looking” young girl ends up with a record and a mug shot on the internet. But hey, at least the two brave cops (with their good, wise and sensible judgement) got home safely—that’s the important thing.

Here is a brochure detailing how you should interact with your local law-enforcement, made available by myself as a public-service:

This is for the folks who get upset with citizens suing the police.
It looks like Austin police chief Art Acevedo is a millionaire. While he was working for the California Highway patrol. He filed a million dollar lawsuit, and won.

FTA:
“Acevedo filed a whistleblower suit against the department, and in December 2007, the CSPB filed a lengthy report excoriating the actions of the former commissioner and his staff and agreeing that Acevedo had been retaliated against. Eventually, after Acevedo had already arrived in Austin, the CHP settled the suit for nearly $1 million.”
