His guilt or innocence of what? The resisting arrest charges have already been dismissed. All that remains is the ticket.

I’d say that the prosecutor—or whoever dismissed those charges saw a problem with making the case against the driver for anything other than the ticket.

We’ll have to wait for the civil suit, then. Just because the prosecutor declines to prosecute is not indicative of this officer’s actions.

It's amazing how "the Man" defines these things. "Resisting Arrest" in this case is defined as walking 5 feet away from an officer. Reminds me of the typical bullshit charges of Federal prosecutors such as "perjury" and "obstruction of justice" if you say you wore blue socks on the "date in question" and you really wore red socks--like Fitzgerald did with Lewis Libby. They slap those nonsense charges on when they have no case. And idiot minority juries will usually convict when the perps is a rich white guy.

I did not see that the resisting arrest charges had been dropped in the referenced article. I did see this though

"The Masseys declined a request Tuesday for an interview until they could speak with their attorney. Jared Massey is still fighting the speeding charge in Uintah County Justice Court. A trial is set for Jan. 12."

"By late Tuesday, no civil complaints against Gardner or highway patrol had been filed."
