imho, the cops should have called a big supervisor to the scene and made it all go away on the spot. the cops do have discretion in cases like this one. should have let this guy go but let him go after a very long lecture that scared the daylights out of him.They have discretion but letting someone off because he is a US Senator while charging the others is an abuse of that discretion IMHO.
well that was another point i forgot to make. thank you. they might have wanted to let him go, but his attitude and tone kept writing checks his butt couldn’t cash.
