Hmmmmmm. Something doesn't smell right, here.
I'll grant that I don't live in NYC. However, this smells like "All cops hate me. What's wrong with every single one of them?".
And, I'd like to know what he said that got him a "Disorderly Conduct" summons. What cop would prefer all of the associated paperwork to "OK, sir, could you run in and grab an ID for me and we'll put this thing to bed?" or somesuch.
One who doesn't think he was sufficiently grovelled to.
Cops use Disorderly Conduct all the time to hassle people they don’t like.
I was circulating a petition to stop taxpayer-funded abortions in Oregon, and a friend of mine was doing the same. She was standing on a sidewalk with a sign advertising the petition. They told her to move off the sidewalk or they’d charge her with Disorderly Conduct, even though all she was doing was standing there with a sign.
