You ask the million dollar question and we should know, because ANYONE can do this anyone one of us if they think we are disgruntled or out of sorts and there isn’t a law to support their (police) actions.
Excellent observation!
The fact that the employer was mentioned a couple times and the justification police used (his being put on home suspension)....makes me suspect a disgruntled co-worker who wanted to take the guy out of his company for good. Scary times.
