I just read this on FB.
Although I see where the police are coming from and that the guy could have avoided all of this by cooperating, but I also see his point that he was not required to.
Do I feel that he is owed $3.6m? Hell no. My hope is that this will cause local police to pay more attention to our own laws and not harrass anyone else. Wishful thinking, I know.
Oh well; I'm sure this guy will collect a check and an apology for being a bit of an asshole. Only in 'merica.
