There’s an old cop saying when dealing with jerks like this, - “You may beat the rap but you won’t beat the ride”. It means that if you are going to be an ass the cop can seriously screw up your night. Even if he can’t make a charge stick, you still lose.
Except for the following false arrest lawsuit. This guy was told he was being arrested for something that the law says he can't be arrested for. Then the cop, whose official business was to protect this guy from the people unlawfully detaining him, arrested him for interfering with that business, when the cop himself took no action in furtherance of that business.
