This is an issue that could very easily be settled by a federal lawsuit citing equal protection.

Ahh Jeez, I'll say it again, and again, and again if need be;

COOPERATE WITH THE COPS and avoid all this mess.

If the guy had just handed him the pass politely instead of making a big deal out of it then none of this would have happened.

And what makes you think this other cops testimony would be damning anyway?

MERCURY, I KNOW THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS , and I've come to accept it, but the cops and the bus drivers are not put on earth by Satan to destroy the righteous!
