Until the police do a better job of recruiting, training, and policing themselves I am going to presume they all belong in the dumbass category until they individually prove otherwise.

I hope this guy gets $100,000,000.00 and the cop goes to jail for 25 years in general population.

A man is suing the Kissimmee Police Department for an arrest over mints. When officers pulled Donald May over they thought the mints he was chewing were crack and arrested him. May told Eyewitness News they wouldn't let him out of jail for three months until tests proved the so-called drugs were candy.
Don't settle pal....Sue these government freaks till it hurts...

The officer claimed he field-tested the evidence and it tested positive for drugs. The officer said he saw May buying drugs... also stated in his report May waived his Miranda rights and voluntarily admitted to buying drugs.
May said that never happened...was thrown in jail for three months...until he received a letter from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney's Office that test results showed no drugs were found.

It’s pathetic that you are left hoping that the officer is really that dumb, instead of that corrupt.

"While I was sitting in jail I lost my apartment. I lost everything," he said. While May was behind bars, the Kissimmee Police Department towed his car and auctioned it off. He lost his job and was evicted
Give him the Mayors home, and the police chiefs salary for 60 years. Give the mayor and police chief Burger King applications, and tell them to get it.

Note that they also seized and auctioned his car before he was even tried, much less convicted. Good thing he was only renting — I expect they would have auctioned off his house and everything in it, too.

Suing the city will just get passed on to the taxpayers. The cop and his superiors need to be personally sued.

There is more to this story than meets the eye.
If I am being pulled over for anything, it is not the time to pop a few breath mints. Not unless I am covering up something on my breath I don’t want the officer to smell.
And, if I have just put one in my mouth prior to the stop, it is going to get swallowed, just as a normal part of being polite, long before the officer comes to my window.

Here is what ya do.
Give this guy a 10 million dollar cash award, and then to pay for it, reduce the salaries of every single over paid government employee in the city, and as a bonus, fire the cop involved, and cut the police chiefs and mayors salary in half.
Do it!

Do people really eat crack? Sounds unusual to me, but I've never seen a crack addict in action.

“Not unless I am covering up something on my breath I dont want the officer to smell.”
Yep. That would be me too. Except I wouldn’t swallow it or spit it out, I keep it there to keep doing its job.
Oh, you see, I like a good cigar, and those things give you nasty breath. It is considered polite to keep breath mints handy for afterward.
This could have easily been me.
Cigars are still legal, right?

Agreed, the cop and everyone above him should lose everything they have, but if the taxpayers feel the heat they will start making sure this crap doesn’t happen again.
