“IF a tourist asks a cop for directions-—Are you asking for that “ENCOUNTER” to be preserved in the records ???”

Yes, because you never know when one of the psychopaths with a badge will escalate someone asking for directions into a brutal assault, beat down, and false arrest.

“A Wayne County jury ruled in favor of a 25-year-old Romulus man on Tuesday, awarding him $9.3 million after determining his constitutional rights were violated by a Dearborn police officer following his arrest in 2018.

The verdict is the largest in history against a Dearborn police officer, said Azzam Elder of Elder Brinkman Law, the plaintiff’s attorney. The lawsuit was filed in October 2020 and named the city of Dearborn, Dearborn Police Department and several police officers as defendants.

The jury’s decision after the seven-day trial came five years after Luther Gonzales-Hall, then 20, got lost while riding his bike home from a friend’s house and asked the officer for directions. He then went inside a White Castle and asked employees for directions to ensure he was given the correct guidance, as shown on the officer’s bodycam footage.”
